DBraz Posted August 12, 2016 Author Posted August 12, 2016 Shit. I should have thought about that earlier...

Fast Eddie Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 I can see it now, "daddy, how come there's no money in my college fund, what did you spend it on?". Well my love many years ago mummy forced daddy into getting a guitar made from a master American luthier...etc etc etc..
DBraz Posted August 15, 2016 Author Posted August 15, 2016 Another great start to the day. Now this is where it starts to get very exciting. Look at that wenge! It reminds me of that glorious Hamer build thread where each update photo brought a smile to my face. A masterclass in precision from Mike. This time it'll be a guitar I'll own and play. Wonderful!

I'm totally getting this kind of vibe... And if I could play like him, you bet your ass I'd be sportin' those pants too.
DBraz Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 Another great start to the day. This time the shavings are maple.
cmatthes Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I'll be watching this one like a hawk! Any decisions yet on where you're going finish-wise? I can totally see this one in the "L501" finish. Very cool features, and I love the way it's coming together.

I can totally see this one in the "L501" finish. Very cool features, and I love the way it's coming together. Mike and I were talking about EXACTLY this topic this evening. We talked about 501 - my personal favourite Ultimate colour along with the a Tiger Eye - and I am going to take a look at samples before committing. Ironically I committed to vintage copper hardware very early on (months before I saw it on the 501 Ultimate) so I know the combo works. When the carving starts its going to get very exciting indeed.
Bennyboy-UK Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I might have to give Mike a shout... Might have trouble working out a spec... What do I do Mike?

DBraz Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 Oh damn... ANOTHER 'effin awesome picture.
murkat Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 The angle of the single coil / end of fretboard matches! Awesome.

Mike gave me the option, I went with the offset Cali look originally, Mike built it in line with the pickup and showed me how it'd look with the alternative... I changed my mind.

I do feel very humbled by this. It hasn't escaped me how lucky I'll be. And without sounding too sycophantic Mike is such a pleasure to deal with.
DBraz Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 It seemed a shame to chop off more wood. Right choice? Subtle difference.
