Northfield Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Just a quick update on what has been going on over the last few days. My brother, his wife Natasha and my two beautiful nieces came to visit from California. He has been an inspiration to me throughout my life. Spent a good deal of time working on the necks for the first of the special run Ultimates. The neck wood is absolutely fantastic.
polara Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 My goodness, that wood has lovely grain. And you keep a neat shop there!
mathman Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Was that a b12 photobombing one picture? Can't link on the ipad.
Bobby Marshall Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I would like to say "all those pics gave me wood" but one of the pictures was not like the others! Fantastic news. I missed the thread on how many former FMIC artisans are with this new outfit. Gonna raise hell indeed.
Jakeboy Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Love getting all these updates as our Ultimate run takes shape....
cmatthes Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again...this is all just amazingly cool!
FGJ Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 It's great to see an independent craftsman of great skill moving forward despite the large, bean-counting manufacturer who didn't value all the talent they had at their disposal.
DBraz Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Looking forward to seeing some proper progress shots. And by that I mean recognisable guitar shapes in the cut.
RichRS6 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Wow, great to see it all coming together.Keep these updates coming we love them, I'm already working on specs for a custom order.
burningyen Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 This picture really brings it home. How awesome is it that 2 brothers are both masters at this one craft? One of the guitar mags should do a joint interview with you two.

soli'd Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 starting to question my decision to go opaque after seeing the maple thread pics...
velorush Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 My son saw the hog photos yesterday and asked, "by the way, what color are you going with?" I nearly cried, "I STILL DON'T KNOW!" Definitely transparent, however!
RichRS6 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 starting to question my decision to go opaque after seeing the maple thread pics... Me too. Looks like I might have a change of heart about White, on the other hand a custom order may be on the cards next.
