John's Buckeye Burl Triple O Guitar

[jzstephan]

Mica, Did it get squirted?
 
Any pics?
 
 
don't make me beg...

[mica]

You know it did!  

 

  Looks pretty cool. Remember, there is a looong wait in spray. It will look pretty much like this until it's all done.

[artswork99]

Wow, that is really beautiful!

[jzstephan]

please, sir, may I another?
 
{headstock?}
 
(I think I pulled a facial muscle; smile may be permanent!)

[mica]

That will have to wait until next week. Everything is wet right now.

[mica]

Oh... and glad you like it!

[sonicus]

Wow , if one lets the imagination run wild there are so many things to see in this wood.

I've dreamed of seeing such a guitar come to fruition for quite some time.... The only thing I pictured different was a reverse headstock, and stinger omega....  
 
Congrats John, this is shaping up to be quite the guitar!!!!

[eastcoastepic]

A future COTM, for sure. Just when I thought my axe was the bomb, your choice of wood from the bank comes along, and all I can do is drool!
Possibly the finest Buckeye I've ever seen, regardless of builder.....

Thanks Chris, very kind words indeed from someone with such a fine instrument like yours! Nobody does Buckeye like Alembic; they are simply the best in the world.
 
I thought about a reverse headstock, but I thought it would aggravate my aixelsyd.

[deburgh]

Jeez, that is a GORGEOUS piece of Buckeye!  I hope you like answering questions, becuase any time you take this beast out in public you're going to get a TON of them  
 
Enjoy the process, it may seem long now but trust me it's worth it in the end!
 
Cheers,
 
Todd

Any more pics? headstock? custom logo? please?
 
 

[Bradley Young]

That picture should be standard for all FTC threads.

[mica]

Just darling!  Anyway, with everyone feeling MUCH better now, I can finally start catching up on some FTC pictures.   The backplates and humx pickup are getting along in spray:

  and the Ebony box pickups are ready for their oil finish:

  And an in-process shot of making the shells, with a few extry just in case:

The shells look cool!
