KeyOfZ Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Here she is....getting ready to be finished up. I can't wait....man this is likking me! It's driving my to use obscene amounts of exclamation points!!! *EDIT* Man I was seriously excited when I posted this, check out the title: Meant to say "It's going to be a good day for KeyOfZ" Then I say "I can't wait....man this is likking me!", meant to say "man this is killing me!" Then the final flub, "It's driving my to use obscene etc...." Man that's embarassing.
Moose Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 I don't often respond to these sort of excitement posts because -- well, everyone's excited about a new guitar and they're all pretty. However, that top is one HOLY CRAP beautiful piece of maple! Definitely one to be extra excited about. What's the final color going to be?
KeyOfZ Posted July 15, 2005 Author Posted July 15, 2005 NaturalBurst, I had to sign off on the color/wood sample last week. Artist Custom AAA+ Birds Eye maple top Bound F-Hole and Headstock Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard Modern neck carve Dunlop 6100 Jumbo frets SustainBlock bridge NaturalBurst finish SD Custom Custom Bridge pickup SD '59 Neck pickup Brown leather Hamer case I think I will be extra happy.
hamerhead Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Nice!!!Those 'in progress' shots are always cool.
RacerX Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Great top! And, well thought out options.Should be a beauty!Mark.
sw686blue Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Beautiful. Btw, those sound clips of yours are awesome. Fantastic playing!Nick
cmatthes Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Extremely Cool! Nice shot - makes ya feel better to see it turning out that well, doesn't it?Incredible.
atquinn Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 That top is awesome and I think the finish you're going with will look great on it!-Austin
BadgerDave Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Damn. Chevron birdseye. That's just insane.Can't wait to see the photos of the finished guitar.
bobsessed Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Just how pricey is a special order such as that....if you don't mind my asking. -Bob-
KeyOfZ Posted July 16, 2005 Author Posted July 16, 2005 Bob, From what my dealer told me: List $5,200 My price is between $3,000 and $3,200 The case I ordered added another $200 or so. Thanks for the comments everyone. Now the next 3-4 weeks need to just fly by. I would love to try some Cryogenics to freeze my ass till it's ready. The waiting is just driving me nuts.
KeyOfZ Posted July 21, 2005 Author Posted July 21, 2005 Question for some of the more experienced custom orderers: So any rough estimates on how much longer it would be before Hamer finishes this up based on the progress shown? I would really appreciate it.
hudpucker Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Dunno know how much longer you're going to have to wait but DAMN, that's gonna be a looker.
