Just ordered X20 Woody
Well, it is all you CF freaks faults: I came here to moderate a thread that was getting a little unruly and saw the Woody's...let's just leave that sentence alone, I am a moderator after all!
I have been in contact with Sean who has answered everyone of my emails and despite the time difference, we seem to have got along fine because my Woody is on order. I am happy to say I will have the first Pau Ferro veneer X20. Love being a trend setter. Here is the veneer I selected. It will darken with the resin, but it looks pretty darned cool right now I believe...I am not going with the Crystal Ice finish although I am on the fence regarding that. Otherwise everything is standard...

HA! Sucker!! Welcome to the 'now-the-painful-wait' club. I, too, have picked out my veneer but I'm going to wait until the finish product is in my grubby hands before I reveal what I went with. Congrats on your pending X20 Woody. Did you do any customizations? That was one of the best things about working with Sean was their ability to really make my X20 a guitar that has everything I want it to be. It's going to be a LONG five months!!

That's a wonderful looking veneer. Being the first, it'll be nice to see the finished comparison. I'm intrigued. Enjoy the wait!

I'm chuckling as I read this...
"Alright, what's all the fussin' about here? Ohhhhh, that is pretty! ..." Hooked! That's how it happens for some of us. Congratulations on your custom woody order - that veneer looks gorgeous! And, as pretty as it will be, I have no doubt you will be equally impressed with the sound and feel. |

Didn't take long to get hooked, did it?
That's really beautiful, Tom. That's gonna be sweet. Can't wait to see the finished product. I've got one (an X-7) that should be here within a week or two, so I'm excited. Welcome to the club... |

Thank everyone, it is fun for sure. I was told it was just about a 5 month wait at this point....that's fine, need time to come up with the rest of the payment anyway!

I think it is hilarious that you came here to get us in order and you end up ordering a woodie.....
Congrats on your selection, it will be stunning I'm sure. I've been thru the wait 2x and it goes pretty fast, best thing to do is to try and forget about it for a few months. Can't wait to see it.

My experience was the same as Tom's: I saw those cocobolo models and fell in love with that dark color with the sapwood center. Sean sent me several photos like the one Tom posted and one jumped out at me and I asked him to take another couple of shots moving the template around a bit and they nailed what I was looking for. There were a few of that Pau Ferro like Tom's that has some incredible figuring.

Another great veneer choice!
Each of these veneers these past months have been stunning--and yet they can also be so different. Decades ago, I waited a year and half for a guitar from a famous maker. It was more than worth it. This summer will pass quickly, as they always do--and a box will suddenly be at your door. I'd love to see side by side photos of the final guitar compared to the raw veneer to see what changes the top coat brings. |
