That is wonderful! very earthy...that ziricote looks really nice, almost like a cross between black walnut and rosewood, but not as open grained as RW. How was it to work? And did you wind your own pickups there, or have those custom? And of course...the tone - hows it sound? Top notch work.
Inquiring minds....

The balance is good due to the weight of the body. Ziricote is similar in density to ebony so this guitar is actually in the mid to heavy category.
I managed to kill a 3/4" CMT tungten tipped router bit, a few drill bits and over 5 metres of 120 grit sandpaper on this stuff. It's very nice to work in some ways because of the even consistency but also very fussy with tool speed and feed rate, and has a tendency to blunten things.
The pickups are wound by Bare Knuckle in Devon, UK.

That looks one serious peice of wood, can't wait to see some of your more complicated instruments in future!

Fucking phenomenal work man!!!!
Holy shit! I'm completely floored.

Akrin · 03-29-2006, 06:34 AM

Looks phenomenal.

What are the scale lengths? I would assume the high A side is rather short (24"-ish?)

Apophis · 03-29-2006, 06:36 AM

Incredible work, and the wood.... just amazing.

I LOVE IT

I think I speak for everyone when I say:

Wow.

darren · 03-29-2006, 07:03 AM

Is that whole instrument made from a single piece of wood? I can't see any join marks anywhere! Gorgeous guitar, man... that is really really beautiful. And congratulations!

It's also great to see a luthier taking the time (or paying a photographer) to get proper professional-looking shots of the guitar. It makes such a difference in projecting a professional image and instilling confidence in the product and the company. On a big-ticket item like a custom guitar, it's reassuring to at least have the perception that you're not some fly-by-night operation that will be out of business next week.

I have to say, it looks great, but the body just looks odd. If I was ordering one, I'd have to have it mammoth in proportions!

Leon · 03-29-2006, 08:20 AM

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams.
