PaulThePlug Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Wow... almost looks like some sort of heavy skin leather... I do hope its gonna be rear routed and you are not gonna need to cover a third of that with a scratch plate. Matching Headstock?

Yes, rear routed and no scratchplates on these beauties; matching headstock. You’re right, it does look like some hefty leather. There wasn’t enough to do the back as well so that will be ‘plain old’ redwood 😉 with matching backplate. Expecting some pictures of the back from Alan.

PaulThePlug Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) A most pleasant change from the more usual darker woods seen. Inlays or nice and plain? Edited December 30, 2020 by PaulThePlug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Nice... although the latest pics look a little washed out in colour compared to earlier December body n fretboard pics.

TheGreek Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I imagine that the wood will burst into life with a coat of finish. Don't know about you but I can't wait... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
