Show your Ric Inspired Builds

[Gilmourisgod]

Thought I'd wander across the Pond and see what the Brit Builders are up to. Haven't posted here in a long time. Here's a couple of Ric inspired builds, the Black one finished a couple years ago, the Walnut one just recently. The black one took 4 years on again/off again, the walnut one two years. The full build diaries posted on Talkbass USA here:

Beautiful looking instruments and real quality workmanship judging by the pics. The walnut one is a stunner. Sorry I can't contribute with a Ric inspired build of my own, but I'm sure there are plenty around here who can.

These were builds I was addicted too over on TalkBass, stunning work

Hope you're keeping well old friend

Those are lovely, and I love the walnut one.

Just wait until @SpondonBassed sees that volute....

I probably saw it before you.  I do like a good volute you know.

Hi GIG, good to see you on this side of the pond.  Ahh, the walnut Ric.  One of my favourites, really a top job.  And the headstock binding rocks.  Which has now got me thinking about my current build.  I hadn't thought about binding the headstock, but maybe, just maybe it could work......Thanks!
