Title: Bob's Custom Tribulark Guitar
Post by: mica on May 07, 2010, 07:04:23 PM

What's a Tribulark you ask? Well, it's a Tribute-shaped Skylark guitar.  Flame Maple top laminate:

 Sorry - the color in this image is a little strange. But, I think it's looking like a great guitar.

With the beautiful symmetry of the grain on this, it's a shame to rout it out! Lovely!

I thought I had an image of your guitar in carving, but here's a few in spray. I must warn you... I don't think the color is right in any of these snapshots. This color is extremely difficult to capture.

  Even though the true color will be a little bit of a surprise when you open the case, I'm sure it will be a pleasant one. It's absolutely stunning!

finally got time to take some pics. more in the showcase thread, which is under custom. the last pic here is for mica, who was worried about the straplock behind the neck. the focus is off, but you can see there is plenty of room.
