Daniel Sorbera Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Not only did I change the color to blue, but I also changed the neck profile and reliced it. This is the first guitar we reliced, and it's very minor, not the chunks taken out rusting hardware that you see all the time. link to rest of album.

Mr_Buttman Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 awesome guitar and very nice, deep color! But i think you miss one thing - the company logo on the headstock or any other logo, cause without it guitar looks like 'handmade' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 ummm it is handmade Yeah I know, from this point all out all guitars will have Sorbera on the headstock inlayed with MOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Buttman Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah I know, from this point all out all guitars will have Sorbera on the headstock inlayed with MOP. I was talking about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 That is very nice. I like it a lot. It looks just as good in blue as it did in red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I like it better in red, but hey I'll survive. But i think you miss one thing - the company logo on the headstock or any other logo, cause without it guitar looks like 'handmade' That's funny, because every time I bring my guitars into GC the guy looks at the headstock first and then gives me crap about it not having a logo or serial number :D What was the desire behind relicing this build, Daniel? It's such a nice guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a nice guitar! I don't know... I've never done one before, and since it's going to be my player I like my guitars to look a little worn in. Of course they always get that way naturally after a few years, but I wanted this one to look played right from the get go. Plus now I'm not worried about scratching my brand new perfect guitar when I play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan316 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 This guitar looks so good. My personal request would be a slightly lighter shade of blue. I'd want it to look just like the blue on my brother's '70 Mustang, so it would reveal a bit more of the wood grain beneath it. With this deep blue, it's kinda hard to see the grain. I'd want it to pop a bit more. BUT... having said that, I also would really need to see your blue under some stage lighting and see how it reacts! That would really be the decision maker. Excellent guitar, my man. If it was at a store, it'd be bought. And I'm a bass player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. pierce Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Lovely! I'm not sure if I like the red or the blue better, but I do know I like it a lot more with the matching neck. Saw the headstock first and was like, "yeah, that's what it needed", but the whole neck matching really works on this instrument somehow. Nice job.

gavztheouch Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Looks awsome, especially the ebony veener in the scarf joint. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 looks nice - i really like that blue. not too sure about the relicing - i think i would have liked to see a little bit more or none at all. doest have to be more wear or rust - maybe just a slightly less shiny finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 lookin good! I like that blue much better than the red i think. Although the thing I don't really like is the volume and tone controls and the switch position. I don't know why. But on guitars like the Ibanez RG and stuff, i hate the 2 controls and that switch there. but anyway thats my opinion. Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Great swamp ash and I have not seen a blue stain better than that, outstanding work, just beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
