Just received my Indian Rosewood on Indian Rosewood neck. Warmoth Angled with Pearloid Trap inlays and Pearloid binding. I couldn't be happier! It is absolutely amazing! Sorry for the photo quality...i had to take them with my cell phone. I can' t wait to get this on one of my guitars! :guitarplayer2:

I've seen shots of the Loch Ness monster that were clearer <grin>
Little more light might help that cellphone camera. Sensors on a lot of those things aren't much more than an afterthought.
But, enough bitching. Nice neck! I've been agonizing over a similar one for several weeks now. Can't decide if it'll look right on my cranberry VIP.

It's a darker color, so you might want to consider a lighter body. Since Rosewood is almost an auburn shade (reddish-brown), you might want to consider something complementary, such as amber, which has a small red component to it as well. Amber over quilted Maple is always nice, and allows the wood's figuring to be shown off to good effect. Maybe burst it out to a light coffee brown or blood red (again with the red component), with a dark but transparent coffee brown blood red back.

I like how in the pic the sun isn't even out, and there's a shadow on the water. And not a watery shimmering shadow like it should be, but a dark shadow...Cagey said:

Hehe! Yeah.
But, it's not the lack of sun that gives it away, since that could be an exposure problem. It's the lack of diffraction in the shadow. It's too defined. Should be all broken up due to the irregular reflecting surface. Cheater should have used a computer. Of course, back when that scam was running, computers that could do ray tracing weren't exactly commonplace, if they existed at all. Nowadays, even games do better water effects than that.

You bet your ass it will look right, Cagey! It'll look as good as bourbon on that Cranberry VIP. Alternatively, I wouldn't mind that body as a christmas gift....

Oh, you wouldn't want it right now. It looks a lot worse than it did in the last pictures you saw. It needs some serious attention and that ain't happening until spring. Then, who knows? I may put it up for sale. I have an old PRS-style VIP body that's gonna need some real love and I only have so much room around here to stack up guitars.

Cagey, I'm the
ESPECIALLY if the paint is liable to go away when I EDIT: Think about it Cagey. You get money, I get into debt. I also get an excuse to use Lindy Fralin P92s. Win/win.
