That's pretty mean teasing us like this. Looking forward to this - especially your thoughts on the bubinga neck!

come on, show us more!
looks really sexy so far! whatever dye that is, it looks great with the spalt maple!

Nice, that spalt looks like it's pretty killer. Interesting to I wouldn't have thought they would attempt a drop top with spalt as it is usually very brittle and unstable. Didn't think it would hold up to the bending for the forearm contour... :dontknow:

That is killer!  :icon_thumright:  :headbang1:

I wish I could have gotten the drop top on my Spalt Soloist.  But, I love it nonetheless. :laughing7:
