Bionic Dave Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 is the binding gonna be thick enough to experience the quilt? what makes this the green march? giant pot leaf inlay? No the binding is just a faux binding on the body. And on the neck and headstock it's not really thick enough so I was thinking of just using curly maple. The customer is a huge pot head. But he doesn't want a pot leaf. He wants it to be green like grass. And sound warm like the sun. Oh and his name is March. So Green March it is.

Bionic Dave Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Your rendering makes the neck profile appear trapezoidal....is that the plan? SR Nope just rushed it to show the customer. Need to add more high lights on the sides of the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those coco necks are gunna look KILLER! I'm working on my first rosewood neck myself right now. But east Indian. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Dave Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I was going to do a Indian rosewood on the wolf but found this slab and instantly changed my mind. The a customer saw it and wanted one too. Good thing is I still have a slab left over for some Fingerboards and pickup rings and knobs as well. I know you told me it was Davids idea. But I never would have known if you hadn't posted it. Cheers David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic Dave Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 You got enough headstock material for a 24 stringer. SR I was just saying that to the wife last night. It's been trimmed down now. The off cut is for the pickup rings and Volume and Tone knobs. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
