Ed's Coco Bolo Stage Tribute
« on: December 16, 2009, 06:42:48 PM »
Insta-custom! Ok, not quite, but you get to see most of the show in one day since I collected a few images for you, but didn't get your public thread going until today.  In assembly getting the shielding for the inside of the body done:

 The above picture shows the inside of the Coco Bolo only.  Prepped and ready for a coat of spray here:

  Caught before prepping:

  and just about finished with the final curing here:

 

 The back is every bit as pretty as the front. Might be hard to see in the snapshot, but the back of the peghead is Coco Bolo.

I am impressed.  Is the body Koa?

Nice wood patern... reminds me of something, but I can't figure exactly what now...
Congratulations Ed!

Just beautiful.  I usually don't like coco bolo or tributes visually, but this is stunning.  Play it in good health.

I could see the back being mistaken for Koa, but it's Mahogany. Very nice Mahogany!

Ed:
 
WOW!  The cocobolo sure is sweet!  And a second to Mica, that's VERY nice mahogany.  You're going to have a lot of fun playing this one.  Welcome to the club.

That's awesome.  I didn't think the Stage Tribute was a carved top - was that a special request on your part?
 
I really love that back (and the front, actually)!

A great piece of coco bolo, I love coco bolo, it makes any alembic  body shape look fantastic.
