Mica:
 
I know you are busy and I have used up a lot of your time lately;  yet, I think I have a good idea for a custom.  I emailed you the other day with an initial thought , but after some consternation, I have a better idea.
 
I am having a Baritone Acoustic guitar built out of Macassar Ebony and Adirondack Spruce.  I believe I would like to have an electric baritone, as well.  Using your Spectrum body and book matched Macassar Ebony.  Could we speak about other appointments?

Sorry, I don't know how to move it.  Perhaps, a moderator will move it.

So Mica:
 
Fretboard:  Ebony
 
Body:  Book-matched Macassar Ebony front and back with wood inserts/access panels.  How would the body laminations consisting of Ebony/ Alder/Myrtle/Alder/ Ebony work and look?
 
Neck:  7 piece-Myrtle/Ebony/Alder/Ebony/Alder/Ebony/Myrtle
 
Pups:  (3) STR with individual switches instead of a 5 way switch
 
LEDs:  Amber
 
Considering wood sample #3132 or #3128.
 
Awaiting feedback.
 
Scott

Scott, you don't have to move it, you can simply copy text and paste it in a new thread at Dreaming... for now. Better than get upset in your hurry, doesn't it?

Oh, and I need a 1.75 nut width.

Well, I was told that They would begin building the neck this week.  I have placed the deposit.
 
So the wait begins for my Spectrum baritone in Macassar Ebony with a Myrtle core and using  1/8 Birch laminations in the Hippie sandwich.  The neck will be a 7 piece using Mahogony, Ebony, Birch, and Walnut.  It will have a 1.75 nut and will measure 2.25 at the 24th fret.
