pan_kara Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'd love to hear your opinion on these Opus4 pickups once you're done - I've used some Teslas in the past and they're not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osorio Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Now it's finished, just sand and paint. The great question is which translucent color? Natural? Tobaco? Red? Black? I'm open to sugestions!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestorationAD Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Black! What my friend psikoT was trying to say "Awesome!" Do you know the exact strain of Cedar you are using? Like the scientific name so I can try and find some here in the states. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 This is looking sweet Alesander. I've always be partial to a well done transparent black, and tobacco is good too. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osorio Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Tks Guys!! I realy don't know what color use, a kind a meat red it's what I kept in mind, but don't know yet. The ceddar i'ts the Cedrelinga Cataeniformis, it's a tropical species. (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedrelinga_cateniformis) I don't know if you'll find easily in USA, it's like maples species are for us here. Expensive!!! Just to you compare Swietenia macrophylla (Mahogany) have 0,63g/cm3, and Cedrelinga Cataeniformis (Arana Ceddar) 0,64g/cm3. The cut of frequences it's almost the same of Mahogany but depends of how was cut, good to work too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pan_kara Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I was thinking red too. I think people typically leave spalted tops natural, all the better reason to color it. Looks fantastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterOffShred Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hey cool, I like the headstock design a lot! I've never been a big fan of playing Explorer style bodies, but the guitar looks pretty classy. The shotgun shell brass knobs are a pretty great touch too. Very nice work -Brett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
