veatch Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 That there is some killer quilt... Nice work, sir.
The Shark Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I've been kicking around the idea of having Mike build mine as a "plain-top". I just think it would be so cool.
DBraz Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Ow wow. Sensational!The tension is building until we see the first completed Ultimate. Can't be too long now!
HSB0531 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Forgot to post the shiny ones.... This reminds me of my Standard 12. I requested that the 2 halves of the quilted maple top line up instead of being staggered. This top has that perfect match. Hey Mike: Other than the headstock are the necks one piece?
DBraz Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I can't get enough of these photos. Absolutely outstanding workmanship Mike.As many have already said before me - FLAWLESS!
Jakeboy Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Mike has already posted that the necks are the Hamer-style 3-piece stressed necks that he's been doing "forever."I agree, they look incredible. cannot wait to see the first completely finished one....and then to hear it.....
devrock Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Was that grain filler or stain in the first of the pics?
aknapp Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Was that grain filler or stain in the first of the pics? Neither - it's Mike's "special mojo sauce".
JimiH Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Was that grain filler or stain in the first of the pics? Neither - it's Mike's "special mojo sauce". Eeeeeeuuuuwww I hope not

Boomerang~Junkie Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 The quilted, trans black made me audibly gasp when I first saw it - woh.That could easily become my new first choice right there - just stunning.
Toadroller Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 The quilted, trans black made me audibly gasp when I first saw it - woh.That could easily become my new first choice right there - just stunning.Same here. "Gawhhh!"
sixesandsevens Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 The quilted, trans black made me audibly gasp when I first saw it - woh.That could easily become my new first choice right there - just stunning.I agree. I've never been much for trans black, but whoa.
cmatthes Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Excellent! To quote Mac from "it's Always Sunny"..."shit just got REAL!"
DBraz Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I knew it was worth checking in this morning. Outstanding!That is a beautiful colour choice by the way. Really suits the top.
velorush Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Remember when I said this (during all the wrangling over color and finding specific examples of 'just right' etc.)? ^^^ Thanks for that. I know now I had lost sight of the original intent (your paragraph two). Fact is, as it stands I am currently signed up for Mike's interpretation of "Darkburst (tobacco)." I will be curious (when the time eventually comes) to see what he envisions as "Darkburst (tobacco)." If our interpretations agree, fine. If not, I'm sure another of the stock options will be great. This is actually quite freeing, if you think about it! Well THIS: ... is a MAGNIFICENT 'envisioning' of Darkburst (tobacco), I'm assuming! Wow! Just wow! It's not tired old two-tone brown as I've seen over and over again! This has depth and warmth and caramelly goodness! It will be very interesting now to see cherry sunburst for comparison - whenever the opportunity arises, that is. Once again, thanks so much Mike for sharing this with us!
sixesandsevens Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Not to be dumb, but is that purple or trans black?
Tres Aardvarks Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Back to work...... WHOA!!!!!!! That is sexy!!!!!!!
HSB0531 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Not to be dumb, but is that purple or trans black? Black.
