verhoevenc Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 #2!? Dang man, congrats. That looks amazing for a #2. Your #2 truly isn't a pile of #2 Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 some really nice detail work - but i am less sure about some of the design choices, like that headstock with a massive butterfly inlay. Both elements on there own are great. the colour is superb edit: actually the more i look the more i like the juxtaposition of those two features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireFly Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I like this one. The soundholes with the color really do it for me I could see myself playing and owning this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm a little surprised at the lack of comments. This is a beautiful build for any number or experience level. I'm not a fan of the headstock, but am a big fan of the neck join. The detail work is first rate as well. Great job. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwcarl Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Looks fantastic. The finish looks really nice, and I like the design (although the butterfly seems a tad out of place for me). Great looking inlay, I love the soundholes and the somewhat understated one piece top. I wish my second was anywhere as nice as that, maybe at number 6 or so...

westhemann Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm a little surprised at the lack of comments. I think it's really nice,it's just that everything looks so professional that I just don't have much to comment on.The butterfly inlay is a personal choice and is well executed,and I try never to say anything about a personal choice on a guitar,because he isn't making it for me. I know how tough it is to get a good looking sculpted heel on a SC,so kudos. You tends to get more comments around here when something sucks..so a lack of comments can be a good thing.Everyone is a wannabe critic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalx Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Second build? If i was guitar shopping, i would ask you if it's for sale (is it actually?) Congrats man, that's some seriously mean monster that i'd love to get my dirty hands on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdom727 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Excellent work. As Wes said, the heel looks amazing. I like your binding job and the headstock shape. I'm not sure I associate the word 'brutal' with a butterfly, but your inlays look great. What is the thing between the bridge and the tailpiece? I've never seen a piezo in person. Also, Please tell us more about your finishing schedule. The gloss front with matte back is very tasteful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntinDoug Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Very nice! I really like the back cutaway. I'd love to see Gibson start doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maikkeli Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Classy! I love the minimalistic approach on the soundholes. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbrown Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Great work. Nice clean lines all round. Very tidy indeed. 1+'on the heel design. Any plans for the third? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osorio Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I love it!!! Awesome there are no words!!! GOTM alredy have a winner!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutal-lv Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thanx to all of You, guys! I'm really pleased to read so nice comments immortalx, I don't want to sell this guitar for some reasons, but I can build a copy or make it with features suitable to You wisdom727, it's a piezo wire and I put it into a string ferrule. finishing is standard and simple on top (stain, nitro sealer, 2 or 3 coats of tinted laquer and nitro top coats), but back is oiled. peterbrown, something in Tele style Osorio, maybe I should try ))) p.s. sorry, english is not my best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer7440 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Gorgeous! I love the heel design and the sound holes on the front are great. Your binding and purfling are so well done. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
