HSB0531 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 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.

silentman Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 If I recall, that cali was in for a refin. Not a new build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadroller Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 awesome pictures! I love the in progress ones.

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.

veatch Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
