tmsfo Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 #0042. One month shy of two years and worth every minute of the wait. It's a bit less red and more orange and the pics don't do the grain of the top justice. I know you've heard this before but the workmanship is flawless. Floored. Thanks Mike and Trish!!

Hamerica Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 That is excellent. i really like the top. OK, I actually like all of Mike's tops! Dayum, Damn or what ever.

DaveL Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 very cool... the flame angled along the rear wing is a cool look, I have it on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Whoah...perfect execution in every aspect. It is SO hard to properly photo a cherryburst, sometimes you get lucky. No matter, the pic is beautiful. Like Dave stated above, the angle of the maple figuring is cool. The guitar looks like it is in motion, even in repose. Any special tweaks on this Ultimate, tmsfo, or stock specs?

Jakeboy Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I love how orange it is. Just a beautiful Ultimate. I don't know about you guys, but I am running out of superlatives to utter concerning this run of guitars. Dont they play nice? As much as I love to look at 0006, I love to play it even more. Congrats on an incredible guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine falls into that kind of category too. I know they're hand-carved, so there's likely some variation, but I wonder how many different types of neck profiles Mike did. I thought someone mentioned a soft V at one point, and a ton of folks seem to have gotten something beefier than a Hamer Vintage Carve, but is your "50s neck" the same as mine? I guess we'll all just have to get together one of these days for a family photo to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
