GAS Alert!!!!

[Glimmer]

Here's one that's currently got me wishin' and hopin'...

:

Another gorgeous example of that most lovely of woods:

I was eyeballing that a few pages back.  Too bad it's a front rout.  I still haven't bitten on anything...

 

[AutoBat]

I've been contemplating two possibilities vs ordering one up from the custom builder. I'm undecided at this point and need more time to consider.

 

[ghotiphry]

These tempt me every time I look at them.

Those are both attractive parts, but they're quite different from each other in appearance and probable sonic character. I would think the body and your anticipated use would dictate which would work better.

These tempt me every time I look at them.

3 tempting bodies in the Showcase? That's weird. I usually have a tough time narrowing it down to 100 :laughing7:

Thankfully, I just ordered a custom tele.  But if I ever need a second one...

 

[Cagey]

That's a pretty wild piece, considering it's Rosewood and it's one-piece. Rosewood doesn't often have that much character. If it didn't have a Tele headstock, I'd be sorely tempted. Who cares about the house payment?

Speaking of wild, has this part been posted yet?

Ziricote over Wenge... somebody needs to save me from that one.

 

[bagman67]

Yeah, a half-dozen or so necks with no-inlay ziricote boards on wenge shafts went up last week.  Such a shame to be cash-poor...

Yep, that's the one I posted alongside the candy tangerine Regal.

Still speaking of wild, how about this psychedelic bocote/wenge piece?




Just starting up a baritone project right now too - somebody help me!

 

[Cagey]

I still don't have a Bocote neck. Gonna have to do something about that one of these days.

 

[swarfrat]

I just can't warm up to bocote. To me it looks like someone tried to burn poplar and pass it of as an exotic.

 

[bagman67]

Have you seen it in person?  Because in person it's anything but that.  The variegation is pretty somethin'-else-entirely.  That said, de gustibus non est disputandum, etc., etc.

 

[swarfrat]

No, I admit that I haven't. I guess when I make my pilgrimmage up to The Hardwood store for poplar I'll take a look - they usually have lots of exotics.

 

[swarfrat]

ooowwwieeeeeee

 

[bagman67]

Yep, that seems to be the universal reaction to that piece.

 

[swarfrat]

Don't look Ethel!

 

[bagman67]

Five days dormant, this thread?


Fine, sez I - here's a little something to rekindle your GAS:

 

[Logrinn]

Now if that was a custom 24" scale neck with an angled headstock, I would buy it immediately.
