    BLUE VELVET This is one that I have just completed and has been collected today. It was commissioned by a very nice German man currently living in Co. Cork, Ireland. I was really sad to part with this one. We've all been through it, it's like giving away one of your kids!! Here's the breakdown: Top: AAA grade flame maple with a sapele back Neck and fingerboard: Mastergrade bird-eye maple. Pick-ups: Seymour Duncan Vintage P90 in the neck and a Pearly Gates in the bridge (with coil tapping) Hipshot tuners and a Wilkinson rolling bridge 22 fret 12 radius 24 3/4 scale length Construction is bolt-on (customer is always right ) Bone nut Abalone inlays with a hand-cut Kingfisher on the headstock (custom designed by the customers' girlfriend) and custom inlay on the 12th fret.

    All right Rob! Great build so far bud, here's a finish I like to uses on ash might work for you or maybe not your cup of tea. Use a dark stain to get into the grain sand it down and hit it with your finish colour and then lacquer or oil no filler and no shellac. Marty...
