My Soulmate in progress

nice spault!

 

That looks great!!
Congrats r9

 

I`m not usually keen on fancy wood tops but that is beautifull.

wow that awesome..flamed Spalt and black limba

i'm very interested to see how this one turns out

Very nice, Pai...

Please post pics when it's done... Looks very cool...:AOK

 

I'm also not usually a fan a fancy wood, but that is indeed a very sharp looking body. Nice!

Nice fingerboard inlays too. *Great* choice of pickups. Covers or uncovered? Dbl creams might look nice in that top, I think.

Should be awesome when done. Looks like this guy does some really nice work, from his site.

(...no idea what limba's tonal quality is, can you say why you chose it?)

Consider putting Pigtail studs/tailpiece on it - they're awesome. Sometimes a bit of a wait but well worth it. (If you call Steve directly I've found he can usually cut the wait down.)

What kind of electronics (pots, caps) are going in?

 

r9player...

PM me,

want to chat and ask you a couple of thing regarding your guitar

 

Hey Pai,

It's looking great so far man, can't wait to see the finished product, I like the inlays too.

i was just thinking of posting this morning to ask if any progress had been made on it..but didn't want to come off as a pest
i come back from lunch and here it is...funny...

man that is going to be so sweet when it's done..

i'm patiently awaiting an overdue bonus ($$$) that could be headed Doug's way, if he'd be interested in doing a type of set neck super Strat/Soloist for me... want to wait till i get the coin though before i contact him..

 

Nice guitars guys! When I was looking for a luthier I emailed Doug twice, but was never replied to, Oh well. I have a Schroeder in the works & am delighted with the process. Jason is great to work with, as I'm sure Doug is! It just goes to show you that it DOES all work out in the end. I have to admit that I AM curious as to why I never got a reply though. Have fun!

 

Spalted maple is always hit or miss to me.That is a major hit.

 

"As far as I can tell Doug is over his head in work right now, and he doesn't do a lot by email usually. Likes to talk to the person at least once before starting"

Understood, but a response saying, "Call me" would be in order, doncha think? I wouldn't put up an email address if I didn't want to be contacted that way. Like I said, I'm not pissed, just curious, that's all. I'm MORE than happy where I'm at, with Schroeder. Color This camper happy!
