Based on this news, mine is only 5 away, and coming up quick!

My build is slated to be:

SJ non-cutaway
Torrified Lutz top
Figured Walnut B&S
Ebony Bridge & Fretboard
25" scale
1.750" Nut
Schatten HFN Passive pickup
Gotoh 510's

I had a dream last night that Ed posted pics of a guitar that looked suspiciously like what I ordered. I won't lie, I checked his social media accounts this morning just to see.

Joker, how is your build going?

I'm not sure, I've been trying to stay out of Ed's way. Having said that, what he posted yesterday was the same shape and woods that I ordered so maybe that's mine!

I made the pickguard using amber tigerstripe Tortoloid which I got from StewMac.

The cohesiveness and symmetry of this one is on point.

Hopeful I’ll have something to contribute to this thread soon.

That is a very lovely pickguard...

Thank you

It was a challenge to make and it isn't perfect, but I am proud of it. It's a very lovely guitar, overall.

New to me #119. Easy playing, complex tone, attractive. What more can a guy ask for...

Halcyon/Tinker · #**119** 05-26-2019, 03:31 PM

Well now, still gorgeous after all these years!
