Boggs

Cool! Feel free to leave feedback on any of them. I hope you realize that if you click on the cover photo, usually there are more.

Anybody take me up on the invitation and see anything they liked or hated?

Good place to see guitar eye candy and to post your stuff too! http://www.guitarmaker.com/ . It's not a forum... It's just a good place to show off your stuff and maybe be inspired by other luthiers' works... Mine are the RockBeach Guitars... Cheers, and Happy New Year!!! Boggs

Nice builds, for sure. I'm a wood nut so I had to go with the Burl LP...

Thanks for the feedback, Sunday. I understand what you are saying, for sure. I kept the pickguard stock primarily because guitarists are fiercely traditionalist and I wanted to keep that traditional look and "feel" specifically for them. When I bring my guitars out to play at open mics, that model is the first one everyone wants to play for that reason and the RBT(ele) is the next favorite. Gotta keep the traditionalists (95% of the market) happy someway.

Actually, I didn't... If I felt mine was best (like a previous month), I simply put in a null vote. I was just joking because I actually got one this time...

I didn't vote for me... Really I didn't...

RockBeach CamelBack CB-III Claro Walnut on Birdseye Maple body. Tesla pickups (Opus-1 neck and middle and VR Extreme Bridge) with push-push series/parallel switch on bridge humbucker. 25.5" scale Birdseye Maple neck. Hipshot hardware.

LOTS to like this month, but I went with Hitone and Supernatural #1 due to its originality as well as execution. That guitar is just cool as hell!

I'll get the ball rolling with an untraditional RockBeach Mantis. Flamed and Bookmatched Black Walnut on Basswood on Cuban Mahogany Mantis body. Maple-Rosewood neck-fingerboard and MOP Trapezoid inlays. 24.75" scale length. GFS Mini-PAF humbuckers with Fat mini in the bridge. Output jack located inside "leg" so right angle cable jack will not pull out if stepped on. Only 10" wide at lower bout making touring with guitar a breeze as it fits so easily into overhead bins. Shape of bottom of guitar facilitates classical seating/playing position. Dual strap buttons allows "stand and lean" abilit

I would have voted for RAD given that I refuse to vote for myself but I have to say that I am not really a fan of the headstock shape. I personally liked mine best this month (and that is never easy for me to say) but I will not pad my votes by voting for myself so I gave it a null.

RockBeach CBB-4 34" scale 4-string bass Oregon Myrtle on Tulip Poplar body Cuban Mahogany control cover Tesla pickup wired for series/single/parallel Olivewood neck with Pistachio fingerboard and 1/16" layer of Wenge between the two

Electric... Probably a Godin like an A6... If price were no object for an acoustic, definitely a Wingert.

I picked the wrong month to enter again... REALLY tough to choose. I ended up with Curtisa but it was a close call for sure...

Another RockBeach CB-III in Walnut and Tulip Poplar with an olivewood neck and pistachio fingerboard. This is sporting Tesla pickups (Opus 1 neck and middle and VR Extreme bridge) with the bridge pickup switchable between series and parallel with a "slap pot switch". It is not a push-pull. Very convenient to use.
