Recommended Posts

awesome pictures! I love the in progress ones. It's awesome to see how a guitar really takes shape. damn shame that with things they way they are, I'll never get a chance to have a custom build made. oh well.

Yeah I know.

The whole reason for this thread was for all of us to enjoy works in progress past.

Anyone who has pics, please contribute.

Every Watson I have ever seen has had the three a side Hamer headstock

Check out the Cali in the rack. Who has that one?

Nope.

It was a new Cali.

Mahogany body with a maple cap.

It MAY have been a "test" piece, since it didn't have a Custom Order tag, like every single other instrument on the line had.

I've always felt that a public display of custom projects in process would be great marketing for smaller shops, and not just in the guitar world.

Bicycles, furniture/cabinet making, gun-smiths, amplifiers, motorcycles. Half of the love someone invests in owning something unique is watching it come to life in the hands of the craftsmen/women who are creating it.

The internet has made that very easy to do.

Love's B-minor, and turns every finish into glass!

Yes, sir. When i got it. the finish was a frickin' mirror (especially the headstock). I talked with Greg and had a pretty cool CO in mind because of it.

Then, my economy went to jack...

I think Tom is heavier set and did a lot of the inlay work and neck carves.
