Jaden

finished this lot today, off to Germany on Monday

Jaden

got pics of the first purple quilt JHM drop top

Elwood

Excellent! I guess it was the same guy that ordered 3 purple ones - is the one on the right thicker than usual?

How many more floyds have you got to setup now?

yes it was, to go with a purple 7 string he already had..

I have one more OFR to setup and a nice blue swamp ash build with hardtail - plain sailing

Jaden

bit of spraying today, 2 satin finishes.

Jaden

after a little more work and a couple more coats... they are done.

TTony

Those is some stunning looking bodies.

Be wow'd.

Okay, I'll ask.

That blue ask one - do you mind if I ask how you manage to get the grain one colour and the main body another?

I had a thought with oil based wudtone - using one colour, then applying a second colour into the grain and sanding back until the previous colour shows. But I think it would be messy and tricky!

im not 100% with you but ill answer what I think you are asking..
when you hit swamp ash with a dye, the deeper grain always goes darker.. plus I lighten the top of the body after its been dyed to enhance that effect. 
if you were wanted a different colour in the deep grain, most people use a grain filler for that I believe followed by dying the top wood.. a similar thing to what I did with that swap ash tele I made a while ago.

BTW - I dont use Wudtone, I mix my own dyes from powder and the blue body has been satin lacquered instead of oiled.

I'm a very big fan of that modern T, you have nailed the aesthetics just right

Jaden

Those two look great Jaden - it's also cool to see the guitars during the build.

Jaden

aaaaaaaand... she is done, leaving for new owner next week !

Jaden

while this is certainly a new model, the closest old model it compares to would be a "custom Series 2" but seeing as that's no longer available... I have no idea what to call it !

Jaden

got this one finished today !

Custom Series 3?

Jaden

shredding in the workshop... painful cos ive not really played for 4 years now..

Jaden

with every guitar I make, there is also an almost imperceptible improvement in quality or detail somewhere, its a process that I love and one used in industry (continuous improvement).
every so often, something bigger happens and while it may be more presentation related than quality, it feels like a quality improvement.
This time, its a satin finish over figured and coloured maple, I love it.

Jaden

The specs !
