This is such a cool neck:

  Up close, you can really appreciate the layout proportions:

 Maple Vermilion Maple Ebony Maple Vermilion Maple

Nice combination Mica. What tonal characteristics will this give?

Super-cool! Thanks for the pictures.
This looks amazing...

[bassjigga]

Nice combination indeed. My bass is going to have the same combo in the neck, except where you have maple pinstripes mine will be full laminates (being a 5 string neck). Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Sweet!
 
Is this for a Darling? Im curious if anyone is ordering pinstripes w/ any other model?!?  
 
Good choice in woods, Ez..... cant wait to see what the body lams will be!

[eardolin]

It's actually for a hybrid/custom project, sampling from a Skylark, Darling, and Further as well as previous Alembic custom instruments:  Skylarkish body shape(Vermilion core Flame Maple top with Vermilion/Maple accent lam), body and peghead omega, neck volute, custom electronics, nickel plated hardware, Bird of Prey tailpiece on Ebony, continuous wood backplates and t-rod cover, etc...

Sounds like a great project!!

Hey Mica- Lot's of great pictures showing up lately- Just wondering if there is any news on the progress of my instrument...

So this may be the first neck-thru Skylark-ish guitar!  
 
Cant wait to see it all come together!

Any news?

[mica]

I post updates as soon as something interesting happens. This instrument has a custom body shape, and that means there's a pretty good delay while fixtures and templates are made, and checking and rechecking to make sure all the details are just right.   Today, I saw the body in the glue press:

  Yesterday, I saw this chunk of Vermilion. Everyone else was gone, but I'm pretty sure it was for your guitar:

[eardolin]

Thanks so much for the pictures- The vermilion is awesome! I love the color and vibrancy...

[mica]

Ebony framing veneers getting on the body now:

Ooh, that's gonna look so sharp, with the red of the Vermillion and the black of the Ebony!
 
Sorta seems like you've got... Pirate colors!!!
 
Arrrh, me matey!  Arrh.

[eardolin]

Wow! Thanks again for the pictures- very very cool! Can't wait to see the top and pinstripes. I assume they're facing away from the camera in this shot..?
