    Scotty! Thank you! I think we are each others biggest fans. That purple one is something else. It is basically chameleon. In low light its straight purple/ violet. In the sun, it pops to the color in the pics. I appreciate that. I do have a confirmed project for you though, if you have time That first neck is roasted maple. Its just how it looks, i didnt do anything to it! Ive perfected the transition line between the top and the side. Makes it look so crisp!

    Scotty! That is pure insanity! I cant believe you get such a crazy good finish on the curves and in the tight spots. Immaculate!

    Thanks Carl. That green one came out exactly like i hoped. For some reason everybody always roasts me about using green. That dime headstock build was a disaster in communication. Speaking of which, i do owe you some money for the time you put into it at the time

    Here is an entirely new batch of guitars. I sure pick the dang hardest builds to make.

    I believe you mean a good "caul"

    Thanks guys. I may be in a strange state where i am consumed by this. Been working 10 hour days on these non stop for over 2 months. Here are a few updated pics. The green one got to its new owner and he loves it. Waiting to ship out the blue one this next week.

    Set a goal today to work on only one guitar. got it mostly done! Worked around 9 hours on it today. Radiused the fretboard, fretted, carved the neck, sealed the spalt, routed all cavities, drilled side dots, glued in the neck.

    Hope everybody is doing well during all this craziness. Here is a cool thing that happened in the past couple days. Normally my green guitars get a lot of roasting. But somehow this one had the most reach and views ive ever had on my business page. over 14,000!

    That is such a great piece of burl. How thick was it to start with? Crazy how every application of dye, that piece looks completely different!

    Good ole Mr Ebay!

    Seems like everybody loves the blue one... I hated it at first haha. But thats what the buyer wanted! I also took the plunge and bought a new resaw sized bandsaw. Went with a grizzly 17". Got it set up today. Works great! Here is the first top i resawed with it.

    Lizardburst SS! This one really popped.
  15. killemall8
    Awesome. thats the main reason i use it. The wipe back leaves it so clean on the grain you would sand back anyway.

    The walnut one was one of a kind for sure. I didnt get final pics of it before i sent it out.
  17. killemall8
    I have no doubt you will find a way to top it!
  18. killemall8
    Your carving blows my mind, Scottie! That is a great looking piece of burl and limba. What do you think of acetone method so far?

    How has everybody been? Not much has changed for me, even with all that is going on with the world. Been working a lot, every day. Seems like i never catch up! Here are a few. Quilted maple EXP in "bloodbath" 7 String EXP And the Claro walnut EXP

    love that clean access !

    The "X" is "by" not a times. Like on a deer. A 3x3 is 3 points on each side. 3 by 3

    Walnut SS teaser
  23. killemall8
    Thanks! Ive spent so much time dialing in the perfect burst. I do use a mini detail spray gun for the bursts. Much more controllable and i get really consistent results! The blue one i really dialed it back to minimum settings and used it to just do a very fine edge.

    I wish it was koa. It is indeed claro I finished up the Warrior extreme and a couple others as well.
  25. killemall8
    Thanks scotty! Ive been really trying to create a new level, especially on finish types. Every build i feel like im still dialing in the perfect methods. Here are some better pics of the red one, before wet sanding and buffing. Also a walnut EXP, same thing, pre buffing
