I, too, was too impatient at first for a custom but now I savor the process ... The longer the more enjoyment! And you will enjoy a guitar from The Tree!

Next on my list is a Petros. The man didn't threaten to retire so I figured he could wait another year or two... ;) |
I can’t wait to see some pictures! I love the Mahogany/Cedar combo and using The Tree will make it even better!
Congrats! |
Sounds like Applegate to me

I've finally communicated my final specs to Jim Olson and supplemented my initial deposit.

SJ non cutaway "The Tree" mahogany back and sides Cedar top Abalone top edging Abalone back center strip Abalone end wedge borders Headstock paua perimeter Peghead back mahogany veneer with WBW Paua in-filled "O" on headstock Fingerboard paua perimeter 42 style fingerboard extension Full vine inlay on fingerboard Wide paua/BRW rosette Thicker neck Satin gold tuners with ebony buttons No strap button No pick up No pick guard Calton deluxe case |
Can't wait to watch this one.

Ah! Didn't realize you had already established this thread earlier in the year. Just found it. Wow, that's some amazing figure on that mahogany, as was expected. Looking forward to watching this develop.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Beautiful Olsons all decked out with bling These are a few of my favorite things I think that's how the song goes :guitar: ;) |
