How do you expect me to pick a finish?I let Mike listen to what the wood was asking for.ETA: Well done, sir! Now the waiting. I hear it's the hardest part.
cmatthes Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 You SAY that, but in all honesty, it was tough picking the first one out of the gate!!
Jakeboy Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 You SAY that, but in all honesty, it was tough picking the first one out of the gate!!You chose well!

How do you expect me to pick a finish?I let Mike listen to what the wood was asking for.I think it depends all on the customer and the wood selection. I know several folks who changed color ideas several times. There are no disappointments and each one has come out fantastic. Let the "wood whisperer' assist you with your order.Hamerica
BubbaVO Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Maybe tell Mike to exclude what you know you don't like and then talk to Mike about what you do like. With all his experience, I think there's zero chance he'll steer you wrong. I went from jazzburst, to tobacco burst, to a honeyburst and back to a jazzburst. I sent him a couple of pics of guitars I liked. It was the specific slab of wood that sealed the deal. This Ultimate series makes a compelling case for Mike's focus on his customers.Congratulations.
Funky Chicken Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 I'm open minded and will wait on the top to decide for sure.I have pored over a lot of pics and I have the "Ultimate" book in my Amazon cart. Could be naturalCould be a burstCould be orangeCould be Aztec Gold (haven't seen one yet)
Funky Chicken Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 I want orange for the next one!!!My first email to Mike included a reference to "molten lava"-kind of a yellow orange. Then I saw the honeyburst and the parade of naturals. Plenty of time to obsess...
Boomerang~Junkie Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 You can take comfort in knowing there really is no "wrong" move on this (if you listen to Mike).

cmatthes Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Ditto here - Mike is likely getting away from the Ultimates for a while.

fractal Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I'm in for a single cut...A small price to pay for some excitement waiting and a lifetime of value!
Keoghpjk Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I just signed off on the spec sheet for a double cut.
Jakeboy Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I like and want both. A single cut set up for tele-tone in the bridge would simply rock....
