thedontcarebear Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yes, a new one! As some might have read, I ordered one ages ago, which got damaged in the post, Alan is fixing it, but I decided to get a new one started (basically as I have the deposit now but not the full amount and my needs have changed a bit so I prefer 4 strings). I will post the full spec up in a bit, but, it's very similar to the last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ooooh.... Very nice dude, can't wait to hear the specs! For the record, I thought your last one was gorgeous, although it might have been a bit heavy. Keep us posted. Cheers, Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Okay, off the top of my head: - ACG Finn Singlecut (bet you've not heard of a singlecut finn before!) Body same widths as before giving the same look, but made of Stripy Ebony/Sycamore/Wenge/Sycamore/Stripy Ebony 34" scale 4 string Flamed sycamore board with ebony binding Neck made from sycamore/wenge/sycamore/ebony/sycamore/wenge/sycamore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7string Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Sounds very Oreo cookie Like the idea of the sycamore board with ebony binding, very unusual. I look forward to the progress pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eude[/quote] I have my bad photoshop pic (which is charics smudged a bit!) and then Alan yesterday sent a sketch of a shape, which should be the real thing. I'll send you a pm with them when I am at work, as I don't think I should show my rubbish version on here, or I guess the sketch, as it would be good to show it off with a render eventually.

thedontcarebear Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Just saw the render, so thought I'd post it in this build thread, it kinda makes it look like there is a black accent line there and maple core, but it's a maple accent and wenge core.

My singlecut Shuker (due to be completed soon, I hope!) has a striped ebony top over a walnut body, with a birdseye maple board. So interesting to see these pics!
