Northfield Posted September 7, 2017 Author Posted September 7, 2017 The quilt on this top is so 3D that it gives the illusion of a mountain range. It's going to look killer when it's done.
The Shark Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Tonight's a great night to be #75. Number #70 is in process and I don't care a bit about some being out of order. Every pic from Mike gets me a little closer.
bubs_42 Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 No maple in my future builds, but that top is insane!

Steve Haynie Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Well, Bob Taylor proved he could make a decent guitar out of a wooden pallet. Mike probably could wow everyone with an OSB top on a guitar. Order one and find out.

Sounded like a Danelectro.

Jakeboy Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 The earliest teles were made from pallet wood. Pine.

DBraz Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 The best update in a long time. Wow! What an absolutely awesome guitar thats going to be!!
Jakeboy Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 OMG!!! I was watching the first video with my wife and told her, "Wow, one slip of the hand with that sander and it could ruin that guitar body." She said "That's what HE'S Mike Shishkov!" Word.
