Hey guys, here are the first shots of the 10 string that Mike Sherman is building for me.

Stats:
Figured maple and walnut neck
Figured maple core body
Figured rosewood top and back
Massacar ebony fretboard
Rosewood pickup cover
Figured rosewood headstock cap

Planned tuning: C# - F# - B - E - A - D - G - B - E - A, single course, low 0.140 to a high 0.006
ETS individual bridges with piezos
Custom Villex pickup

I came up with the design about 4 years ago, but at the time it was for an 8.

Please check out Mike's new myspace page here and his website will be up and running soon at http://www.sherman-guitars.com. The guy is a total master guitar builder and has been building them since 1978. He's also cool as hell to work with and really cares about the outcome of a project. I have never been happier working with anyone on an instrument.
