Daniel Sorbera Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I guess I'll make a thread for this guitar, it's pretty cool. The second one we've done with this double cut shape. The body has a wenge back with quilt top and the neck is birdseye/ebony board with an ebony accent line through the scarf and headstock overlay. It will have EMG 81/60 pickups and be finished in gloss blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderekel Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) Sweet, lookin' awesome, you should leave the neck square, hehe. Are you gonna leave the top natural or stain it? damn, I even looked and still didn't see before I posted, hehe Edited May 6, 2008 by anderekel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan D Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Loving that body shape and the woods! That is some excellent work - so clean and precise! Keep us updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I like the accent lines and the headstock details. It's the extra details like that which elevate a piece from average to great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanthus Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I like the way this is coming out, Daniel. It's much more interesting to look at than the other PRS-style double cuts. I'm not really feeling the swoosh on the headstock; I feel like the angles of the headstock and the swoosh conflict. But it ain't mine to say, so hey. I feel the sound of this guitar being bright bright bright! Wenge, maple, ebony, and EMGs? Damn I see some pencil marks around the TOM area. Are you recessing the bridge/tail?

Daniel Sorbera Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 The pencil marks were just the bridge outline used earlier, it's not recessed, it just has a neck angle. The swoosh is what the customer wants, so it stays It's the same guy who got the last single cut with this exact wood combo and the swoosh on the headstock. and yeah the sound of the last one was on the bright side, but not over bright at all, just well defined. Perfect for the kind of music this guy plays. BTW the body is all carved now and I'm fretting the neck (among other things) today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 what kind of music do you play daniel? which is your main guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Me? I play mostly mainstream christian rock on electric, (Anberlin, Switchfoot, Skillet, Kutless and stuff like that) and whatever the heck I feel like on acoustic, mostly rhythm stuff. But this guitar isn't for me, it's for a guy named Paul. Currently I don't even own an electric guitar as I've sold them all. But I'm building myself a swamp ash double cut (same shape as this one) that I'm promising myself I wont sell. (like that will ever happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 same thing happens to me. i make one just for me and end up selling it like a month or two later. as many as ive built, i only have 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yeah it seems people assume that because you built it it's for sale or something. I play one at a gig and people are just randomly like "so how much do you want for it?" as I think to myself, "umm yeah I never said it's for sale". I mean people don't just randomly ask people if they want to sell their PRS's or taylors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 well, i never go out in public with mine or anything, so that cant really happen to me. ive never played live either. so, yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanthus Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Perhaps they also assume you can just build another one. Well, you can, but unless it's a business, that could very well be a long time. I'd hate to be without my favorite guitar for 9 months or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fookgub Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Very, very nice! Great spraying weather we've been having lately, huh? Is this a bolt on or set neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Set neck. I bet your loving the weather in Austin. Here it's a perfect 85F 51% RH but the guitar was sprayed in a booth, not outdoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
