Thought I'd like to share my newly arrived custom 00 Skye with you guys (if my attempt to upload the photos works).
I appreciate it won't be to everyone's taste but, based on an afternoon playing a standard 00 Skye 3 or 4 years ago I finally placed an order last August. It was completed in December but delays over the CITIES documentation meant it has only just arrived to me here in the UK.
Based on the standard 00 Skye I upgraded the following:
An absolutely stunningly figured Master Grade Cocobolo back and sides
Flawless Master Grade Italian Alpine spruce top
Cutaway (sacrilege you may say but I do occasionally venture up there)
Flamed Koa binding
Violin purling
Ebony headstock overlay with torch
Ebony tuner buttons
Abalone rosette and SCGC logo
I think it looks (and sounds) great - or at least it would in the hands of a 'real' player!
Hopefully here are a few photos:
