soli'd Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 "Hammered" is a too often used descriptor in my experience, so I'll go with mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soli'd Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Just took a couple cell shots, must get back to shredding callouses. But this should give an idea of 0033. It is so badass. It's hard to capture, it's not actually black, but a really dark maroon (oxblood) color that is so close a match to what I had in mind I couldn't believe it. I know this color was a tricky match, and being that it's hard to photograph, when we were sending shots to compare it was hard to know what we were looking at. In the end, it came out as perfect as I could imagine, looks really cool in person. Grovers! The workmanship is incredible. Nicest instrument I've ever owned. Plays like a dream and the sound is bold, clear, and honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soli'd Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks guys, I get how other owners have been saying their other guitars aren't getting played much now. She's got a really pretty, deep, piano/bell-tone clean voice, but when you add gain, wow, there it is, perfect rock and roll KERRRANGG! but with every note distinct. The resonance is awesome- you can softly pluck an open string and feel the top of the headstock and tip of the far fin ringing like a tuning fork. Here's a shot that shows the top color in direct sunlight. I keep thinking how cool this color scheme would look on a Cobra... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shark Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I've never been a fan of the "oxblood" Gibsons from recent years. I think your Ultimate is fabulous. It's just a deeper color than its Gibson counterpart, if that makes sense. Really cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugartune Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Bloody hell that's a nice finish. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
