Title: Just finalised order for Custom Guitar with Crimson Guitars :)
Post by: she.cries.wolf on December 14, 2011, 10:23:21 PM

Well I'm a happy chap.

Decided on:

Korina Body
Koa/Maple Top (deciding on this depending upon the pieces of wood we can find and the effect they produce)
Unfinished Pau Ferro Neck
Ebony Fingerboard
Custom Handmade Petrucci Style Piezo Trem

Gonna have a body shape like the Carvin guitars which are really curvy --> http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/highgain510/Carvin%20727/Carvin_727_Dragonburst_3.jpg

Also gonna have a Headstock Similar to Music Man's.

Having all this finished off with a Tiger's Eye Black Burst Finish and Gold Hardware.

All I need now is ideas on pickups for when the guitar's complete :) Still really contemplating this. Setup is HSS, although HH is an option as the guitar isn't actually built yet.

Congrats. I love the look of the Crimson stuff. Their heavily carved Les Paul type guitars have always had me GASing for one.

Well i looked at soooo many luthiers, but Ben at Crimson just did it for me. I'm on waiting list though, so loooooooong wait :( But better to get exactly what you want rather than rush just to get it sooner i guess
