The end grain was fairly good, just the faces didnt match.
Just got home from meeting Dragonforce. Took this guitar, and six others down to show them. Herman Li was a bit standoffish until he actually saw one of the Multiscales, and his tech starting telling him how great they were, and then we couldn't get the guitars back off him! Not sure what will come of it, but contact details were exchanged. Their tech ended up coming back with me to the factory, to hang out and see some other works in progress. Dropped him off out the back of the venue, and came straight home. They should be on stage within a half hour or so
That would be cool to have guitars popping up all over the place. Especially with guitarists endorsed by major brands.
Now watch for the Ibenez multiscale.....
