God I love that rosette- What is the green?? I have searched high and low for some resin or something that has that pale color. I have something close but not quite the same.
I think a lot about how a guitar will age. That one looks amazing, even with the wear. I think the appointments, and the way they were constructed, make a big difference in it looking classic as it gets older rather than just old, or maybe more appropriately, not new anymore. I am started, in some way. I've been getting the shape perfected before making the molds. Redesigning my CL at the same time- Hope to have the first one of those done for Woodstock 2017. (and hope to show this one with it!) |

I'm sure the mold is a pain in the neck. Until then I'll just continue posting drooly inspirational photos! :) |
It's leprechaun blood. Hard to get these days.

Ummmm. Sweet! That wood is perfect.

Very beautiful Koa!

My guess about the green elements of that Martin rosette is it is some sort of pearl/shell material.

Wow! Long time no post. Burton is working on the very complex compound curve and neck block now.

Fancy pants!

Burton's fixtures are every bit as cool as his guitars...:up:

Some other fun shots of the compound neck joint
I don't know how he does it, but here goes the custom neck block mold and wood being fitted:

This, my dear Partrick, is going to be awesome.
