Boggs Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I picked up some nice 1/4" thick strips of spruce, mahogany, and cherry from Dan's Crafts to build up the top widths of that bubinga/wenge top and back and came up with some gorgeous combinations for the 2009 NAMM build! I made up a mask from a black matte material which will also show off various combinations of the cocobolo for a customer 12-string AE to pick and choose from... I have two upcoming builds to do... One is that complex customer 12-string AE that I intend to make using a cocobolo top and back and the other is for Hipshot which will be a very complex waterfall bubinga/spruce/wenge/mahogany top and back if they like the concept for NAMM... Both will be the new CamelBack-H (the Horned CamelBack based on the bass design). I have made a black mask of the new shape and took some shots for them of various bookmatch configurations. Here's a little preview for you... Of course, all will darken up and pop once a finish is applied. Just click on the links (or copy them to the address bar if necessary) to see them. I direct linked one pic of each to wet the appetite...

Supernova9 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Just a quick suggestion - what about flipping the bubinga so that the red is towards the outside? How does that look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggs Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 You lose some of the contrast with the spruce bars and some of the waterfall swirls... Just not as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 That first picture is awesome. Looks like an old witch woman in the shower or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
