The basic specs:

  • Vintage carve neck
  • Bound body
  • Quilty top
  • Tiger-eye finish
  • Tuned baritone (13-56) from the artist.


Like a freakin' angel wing this one...

Note the conspicuous(ly awesome) lack of inlays.

Man, first Shark shows us the top for 45, now this.  Mike certainly is finishing the run strong.  Love the baller blank fretboard.

 
Sorry for my cynicism, but I kinda figured the first few Ultimates would be killer, with the best wood available, and that the later ones would be a bit "meh", with more pedestrian wood used.

Boy was I wrong!!!! Every single one is gorgeous. You guys that jumped on this deal hit it good!

I'm still undecided.  My short list currently includes:

  • Trans orange (like the studio in my avatar)
  • Trans purple burst
  • Trans black
  • A green-blue fade or a natural-brown fade.  Here's an example of the latter (but I'm still waiting to hear back from Mike about the do-ability of that kind of finish):

In all cases it'll have natural/brown back and sides.

 
@Jakeboy - Good catch!  It is Tiger Eye.

What really blows me away is that it hasn't been buffed yet, so it should end up looking even more striking when it's all done.  I can't wait to see a full top-shot of it with the finish on.  It's gonna look awesome with the blank fretboard too.
