skelf Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 It took several polls to decide on that position. It was my first choice but as it was not up to me I had to wait and see as it was it turned out pretty well. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skelf Posted August 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 A couple more have now hit the spray booth. Both have had a couple of coats useful to seal the wood and show up anything I have missed when sanding them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmrentis Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Dang, thats purdy! What are the woods on that one? Is it something like spalted beech around mahogany? It looks like limba but seems too defined, who knows. Look freakin amazing, love the accent line bewteen the them as well, really adds a lot to the look. Just simply amazing work as per usual! That blue one still blows my mind when I see it, very nice work, I love this thread, lol. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Body core Hondo Mahogany with black contrast veneer. Neck 7 piece Flame Sycamore/Mac Ebony. Sassafras headplate Mac ebony backplate ,heel and control cavity cover. Fingerboard Mac Ebony. Hardware the usual ACG spec in black. ACG filter pre-amp. ACG pickups model TBD. I was just thinkin, your logo looks like a spider when it's upright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thank you! Geez, I'm usually good about not asking question that have been answered, I had even went back looking for that guitar and must have just blanked out for a minute because I just checked again and found it easy. Oh well what can you do, thank you again. That is one amazing guitar!! I would have never guessed Black sassafrass, haven't seen much of it, but I've seen quite a bit of spalted beech that looks similar, though I guess this has more color variation throughout. I'm with ya on this one being super nice. Thanks again. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
