eh, ive been eyeing em too and the price is just setting me away. i dnot need multiple tops as i'm only making one guitar....so it'd kinda go to waste The Maobi looks nice too but i think i like the Camphor more. its got this trippy warped look to it i think would go nice under the trans-black i intend on doing. the price is right too! lol always helps i'm also eyeing these Camphors: http://www.gilmerwood.com/images_after09-0...-13-05W7399.jpg http://www.gilmerwood.com/images_after09-0...-13-05W7398.jpg *goes back to looking for the perfect top* *edit*: almost certain ill be using this as the top on the guitar god, thats a load off my back. i can finally sleep at night. anyone think this is a bad idea?
-
how about this piece of camphor burl for the top? http://www.gilmerwood.com/images_after09-0...-15-05W7461.jpg

i dont think my fingers are thin enough to fit on anything past the 24th fret i have trouble enough with frets 18-24, lol, and i have pretty nimble hands i guess its just a matter of getting used to using that area
-
guys, i was thinking ...and drinking but yeah i was thinking that since there will be no neck pup on this thing, would it be a cool idea to make the fretboard longer into the body (it being a neck-thru anyway) and maybe up it from 24frets to...well more? or am i just talking out of my ass, lol

Man that's you!! ←

my name on the dean forum is Steven Seagal just so you guys know but dont tell the mods....ive been banned a few times already :-x
-
a little too crazy for me
-
im leaning towards Sapele right now..(if i can get a good looking piece) runners up are quilted big leaf maple and maybe bubinga anyone have any info on White Whirly burl?
-
I agree, all those shafts and holes are definately gettin a little too biz-ay
-
Prepare to drop some serious cash then.... ← ready and willing. hmm... well do i need to worry about denting a top of a guitar? edit: honestly, now that i thnk about it im scared if i use redwood that it'll dent and ruin my lovely guitar. whats a good quilt figured top-wood that WONT dent if i look at it the wrong way??
-
well if i can get bubinga that looks like this then ill definately consider! http://www.ritter-basses.com/phpBB2/files/...bubinga_190.jpg
-
decided on the larger one, should send the plans over to doug soon. probly wont start on it till mid-november for the woods now... okay so its gonna have a G-Alves neck-thru i cant decide on the body and top woods though my considerations for the wings (body): black limba swamp ash other? (suggest) top (trans black): figured redwood quilt maple other? (some kinda quilt though..)
-
damnit, now i needa rename my guitar AGAIN
-
theres two sentinels? link plz!
-
@GuitarMaestro: The Sentinel is my guitar :-p
-
rusty cooley is a semi guitar god i love him
-
trans black on redwood it is then!
-
NICE
-
but i dont want to use ash....i wanted a white quilted maple top.....i guess my dreams have been shattered </3
-
so is it 100% impossible to do a good looking trans-white finish? even if its on 5A quilt maple with a lot of shimmer? or will it end up turning out like a white wash and i shoud just scrap this whole crazy idea?
-
...that was my point
-
sapele: leopardwood: lacewood: snakewood: how...are these light woods??
-
i dunno, this one looks a lot better
