DBraz Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Incredible. One of my favourites. The top looks like ribs and that if I ran my hand across it I’d feel the every one of them.
Funky Chicken Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 This one and #99 couldn’t have more different tops, but the thing that kills me is the way the mineral streaking follows the carve on both of them. I’ve never seen anything like that before.

BubbaVO Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Reminds me of the underbelly of a snake. Snakeskin print on the back after you route it for a Kahler?
bubs_42 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 @The Shark well brother that is absolute perfection!
The Shark Posted April 14, 2018 Author Posted April 14, 2018 I am blessed. Mike and Trish are just fantastic. My Ultimate is one of the finest guitars I've ever owned. I think #0075 is, possibly, the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen or owned. I have seven gigs scheduled from May to December. I promise I'll post clips.
The Shark Posted April 22, 2018 Author Posted April 22, 2018 I think of one of my favorite Led Zep songs, "In my time of drying"...

The Shark Posted May 19, 2018 Author Posted May 19, 2018 Less than twelve hours now. Gig at 7pm tomorrow, if it doesn't rain. Sleeping light tonight.
The Shark Posted May 20, 2018 Author Posted May 20, 2018 No time for more pics tonight... It's just perfect. And the weight is amazing! More to come...

It's beautiful, now that you pointed it out, but I honestly didn't notice it had a neck except for the crown inlays. If Mike had given that top a green tint, I would have believed it was alligator skin.
DBraz Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 What amazes me is how that top meets. It is utterly mesmerising.

ArnieZ Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 They just keep getting better and better! Beautiful guitar, ENJOY!! arniez
Northfield Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Some quilts are harder to carve than others, and this was one of them. As I was carving it, Trish kept saying it still looks wavy - that's when I grabbed a beer and locked the door. 😆
cmatthes Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 It almost looks like it's one piece. That is truly Mother Nature's finest work!
