EBS_freak Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Very nice... although the rear headstock laminates and pickup covers aren't to my taste, it'll do I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peted Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 That's an amazing piece of work. Though I wouldn't know whether it should be played or hung on the wall as decoration. It's a crying shame that the control cavity cover is plastic when he's done all that work on the wooden bridge, rear facing, and pickup cover.

mcgraham Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Looking sharp! It's very brown! But also very exotic. Reminds me of a Carl Thompson crossed with a Benavente. I'm not so keen on the relative narrowness of the body where it joins the neck though. I realise it's a 9 string and you need to make it manageable, I'm just commenting on the aesthetics. Have you had a chance to try it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul, the Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It reminds me of medieval instruments. I don't think JF is great at the aesthetic, but I bet it sounds quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
