Waghorn Sauria S6 - Jonatan Strange

[Maniacal]

I assume you are talking about Jonathan Strange? That is my name, not the name of the guitar. I just put my name so I could find this thread easily

Oh I see, a big fan of the book then. That's cool. One of the best reads in the last 15 years, easily.

*edit* To be clear, I'm saying that I enjoyed the novel from which you've borrowed your nickname from (Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell), I'm assuming that you must be a big fan of the book as well.

 

[Maniacal]

You're welcome.

*edit* that IS my name. I haven't read the book.

 

[SnoozyWyrm]

Have you checked lately if you are a magic man?

ps: super stunning work by Waghorn btw. If Jonathan Strange had a guitar in the book it would look like this On fire with some raven wings floating around.

You're welcome.

You probably should!

 

[Maniacal]

You probably should!

After reading this thread I feel I have no choice.

Book review and NGD coming soon!

That's freaking awesome

 

[BlackMastodon]

Every time I see that finish it floors me. I still can't believe how amazing it looks.

 

[Maniacal]

^ Agreed.

I should be able to collect the guitar next week!

 

[Lorcan Ward]

Nearly ready. Looking forward to seeing the hardware installed and it strung up.

They're not my favorites, but I can't help but think they work better than both black (open or covered) or silver/nickel/etc (covered). The black would interrupt the lightsaber, and the silver would clash, as the silver finishes are rather cool but everything on this guitar is a warm tone (natural blonde wood, red to blonde fade) and the gold works better.

 

[Maniacal]

I hate gold. I wouldn't want gold hardware on the guitar.

 

[Maniacal]

The guitar is now all sanded/cut back and polished. The frets have been levelled and dressed, ends rounded over etc.

Tom will work on the guitar over the weekend and it should be with me next week.

:O dear god that is nice

This will be the best guitar you've ever played. There are associated risks:
1) You'll never play any other guitar
2) You'll never like any other guitar
3) You'll feel so bad for having such an amazing instrument you'll hesitate playing it!

Either way, after it, nothing will ever compare
