The Shark Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Our own Murkat (Jay Kolanda) built me a Gary Moore special from a donor body he found. The veneer top was killer. The guitar played great. It sounded fantastic. The lacquer finish melded to my cloth chair and the finish was ruined. This is what I had in mind. Stike is on the case. Hoping I'm playing this one at my May 19th gig. Yup...

I am wondering what it would look like with black rings, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have covers on a pair of 10K Slammers in my Newport. Dont hate me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shark Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Well, my pics aren't stellar, but I want everyone to know how killer this finish is. Ben, a/k/a "Stike", transformed this guitar. It always played and sounded phenomenal. It has the Will Boggs GregWinds in it. They are tapped and sound killer. My buddy Peter from Chellee Guitars made the final modifications and set it up. It's just fantastic. Played it at practice last night. Stike is the man, folks. The finish is flawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 That looks phenomenal! It'd be better if we could see the logo, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
