Legra Aurora Build FINISHED

[MDV]

Sweet. Now this is done (with much fussiness from me and weighing up stability/effect of the truss/location of neck pickup route/access/playability/asthetics due to removal of maple between bob and I) the rest is straight ahead. The guitar, as in the wood bit, is basically finished.

I anticipate delivery next saturday, hopefully :D

Dont I know it.

This has taken a lot longer than the last one, and the last weeks looking a lot longer as well.

Funny, I just switched it off while bob was recovering from his broken leg, but since its been back on the excitement shot back up and has been mounting steadily!

Next weeks gonna be a looooooong week.

Heretic.

Glitter finish and internal fuzz boxes, indeed

And why the hell do you need two dishwashers?

For the same reason that Jewish households have two fridges and two sinks
You would wash dishes that have had meat in separately from those that have had dairy products in - to ensure that things are kept Kosher- so meat juices and dairy are never mixed - even in the cleansing of dishes

nah i'm just lazy.

I'm looking forward to seeing the end result with this one. It looks quite very nice already.

how many guitars have you seen lying around the Legra shop since you've been there finishing this one up? Does he have even more on the bench or is it just us two at the moment?

I've never been to bobs workshop, I have no idea. I think he has a couple to start, but I dont know if he has or not.

If bob said that its just yours and mine hes actaully working on at the moment though, then there you go. Most of the wait, the actual time between now and me getting the Aurora is for the oil to cure and layer it up. A lot faster than a paint job, but plenty of time to work on yours. Chill.

There are actually five guitars including yours that are in the queue for final assembly there are two more in the  paint shop and two more to start as soon as I can kill this backlog and two in the detail design stage.

Ten weeks out with a busted femur sure screws up the scheduling. I'm concentrating on the Aurora and the Gliteratti jobs 'cos you two have been waiting the longest.

my apologies if what I said came across the wrong way, I was curious what other sorts of crazy guitars MDV might have seen lying around your shop since I'm a fan of your work  :D

That's ok; I wasn't offended in any way I just thought I clear up the speculation. There would be a lot more in the pipe but I've stopped taking orders for full-on, ground up designs because I'm tired of working for fourpence ha'penny and hour. Once the current commitments are completed my plan is to build three of my new PG600 design, three more of the Aurora design (one with a Malaysian ebony top) and three MG602 "Elites". I have some stunning flame tops and some forty-odd year old quarter sawn Brazilian mahogany to make the MG's with. The plan is to then market them directly from the website.

Cheers,

Using that ebony in an aurora, huh? Its a beautifull peice of ebony. I'll be really interested to see what fb you pair it with and the final guitar.
