ADFinlayson Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Another stunner. Where are you selling these? They're obviously extremely desirable. Do you make them to order, sell them in shops? What's your setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels a little soft, but held up just fine for the 7 string. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killemall8 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Been doing mostly finish work lately. Cant wait to get back to the woodworking side of things ! Made this guitar 7 years ago. It was initially green. The buyer sent it back to me last week to be repainted purple. Great to see this one held up amazing and is in excellent condition! I cleaned it up and sprayed it with house of kolor purple mixed with voodoo violet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizman62 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I had to look twice! At first I thought you have put lights inside it and wondered what kind of a bug that is between the two lights - to me it looked like a water strider, the lamps being where its feet make a gap in the water! And it even looked like viewing the bug from underwater. Talking about shiny there... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buyer is going to install hardware himself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizman62 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Holy Green Lantern! How did you get that jungle lagoon illuminated from the inside? No, wrong question, that's a mile deep so depth is no issue. Thus: Are you a TARDIS engineer who can make things bigger on the inside? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Ho hum, just another amazing beauty here, nothing new. Honestly, when I remember the finish issues you were going through a few years back, it's a pure pleasure to see how high you set the bar these days. What is that fretboard wood....pale moon ebony?

Popular Post killemall8 Posted March 21, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 trying to work through this craziness thats been happening! This red one is really hard to photograph. This thing literally glows in person! It has 3 different tints of red and orange on it. I also did my first stainless steel fretting in about 10 years. Not as much of a pain as i remember, but still a pain. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some better pics of the red one, before wet sanding and buffing. Also a walnut EXP, same thing, pre buffing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth to be said, I've rarely seen as tempting wood porn as in your pictures. Not only the wood, it's even more about your skills of enhancing the properties of the wood you're using. Photography has nothing to do with it, other than cropping to the essentials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
