«Guitar Hunters is a 10 episode docuseries that follows Jay and Greg, two passionate collectors and rebels on their quest to uncover rare vintage guitars and the stories behind the strings. In the style of ‘American Pickers’ and ‘Parts Unknown’, Guitar Hunters pays homage to these iconic instruments. In each episode, our Guitar Hunters visit new cities, meet with interesting collectors, historians and musicians while discovering the legacies behind these vintage guitars. ... This show is dedicated to the creation of these instruments, the devotion of the luthiers, and the passion of the collectors.» Congrats! Chris send me a few pictures of their first OM a while ago, great take on an iconic model. I want one too! Last edited by Ernesto; 08-15-2019 at 06:33 AM. |

Just a little update. The guitar should come back from finish in four weeks or so. In the meantime, the VS tuners arrived. Chris insisted in that they are very worth a little upcharge. We opted for ebony buttons to match the fingerboard and bridge:

Chris and Jeremy just got some photos from the finisher after the first clear coat was applied. Here they come. I absolutely love these colours:

My dear friends, the guitar is strung up, complete, and ready. I am VERY happy with how it turned out. Chris and Jeremy really hit the sweet spot with this design in my opinion. Elegant, understated, but still with this Lame Horse crazyness which makes their guitars so special.
So here we go: guitarfrtweb.jpg fullbackweb.jpg fullfrtweb.jpg bodybackweb.jpg rosettefbweb.jpg sideportweb.jpg backbuttshotweb.jpg accesspanelweb.jpg headstockbackweb.jpg bodyfrtw-armrest.jpg insideweb.jpg A sound sample will follow soon! P.S. I am not really good at this, somehow the photos loose quality when I upload them here, sorry... Last edited by Ernesto; 10-24-2019 at 07:09 PM. |
