:D Hi guys glad `ya like it !
Ok Tim i`m going for a cepia [ i think thats how you spell it] burst finish for those of you not sure it`s the colour of Tea i don`t want anything to heavy colour wise & it`ll only be on the face. The back will be left as will the neck natural just a light varnish. When i meet up with Johnathan in the week the guitar was empty. He had put it together so i coud hold & feel it & check over the cavity routes. i can`t tell you the thrill of holding a newly cut guitar ! it`s very organic & gives you an emidiate connection to it. The fret board absolutley blew me away ! the fret job is outstanding ! Johnathan put the thing together after our discussion & then sent on some photos for me. So at this moment i still havn`t heard the Cold Sweats ! but the knobs will be drilled shortley & then Johnathan said i should take the guitar away & play it for a week or 2 [ he suggested doing a gig with it ] he can then make any adjustments i might want before the finish goes on. [ Yes i`ll Post Pics when its finished] As for how much £1850
:D 8)
Thanks for all the nice words of appreciation guys!
We will let JT try it for a few days but will stress that we don't want it to get dirty or too oily as the finish has to stick to it and if it gets contaminated then the paint won't want to stick so much.
But it will let John decide if he likes every last detail of the feel before we get stuck in with the finishing..
As John said to me in the week- it is only costing him the same as an off the peg guitar , but he's getting a custom shop guitar , the way he likes them and ALREADY LOADED with BKPs!!!
