Hi All,

Here is another recently finished custom guitar. This guitar features a compound radius fretboard (9.5" nut 12.5" end). The inlays are white and black MoP and the finish is Charcoal. It has an LR Baggs Piezo Bridge and Coil splitting on a push/pull tone knob. The mini switch selects Piezo/blended/Humbuckers(split and non-split.

I may post a video of this guitar in the near future.

thanks, Jason

Sleek & crisp.
Lovely work again jason.

Looks flawless Jason. I would give up my PRS for that one. Hang on - I don't have a PRS. Anyway, you have made me stop thinking about having a PRS. I want that one. OK - just dreaming at the moment, but I might have to talk to you about that one day. Beautiful instrument.

[SuperDave]

Yes very clean and crisp! Amazing finish!

Is the droptop fiddleback blackwood?

How long did it take you to learn to get a finish like that? I'm thinking of building an electric in the near future and the spray finish seems to be difficult.

I've only built one acoustic and used oil as a finish which was just wipe on and buff.

Yes she's a cracker Jason, just dripping with appeal.

Well Done!

Great work Jason. Can't wait to see a vid. I'm really keen to see how the piezo translates on the solidbody. Seems a few manufactures are following Taylor down this path and would love to try my own version one day. Has anyone else had experience with putting a piezo pickup on a solidbody?

[WaddyT]

That's a real beauty! Nice work!

Thanks very much guys...

SuperDave, It is AAAA flamed Maple. The key to getting a finish like this is the cutting back after spraying. Some people use buffing wheels with different grades of cutting compound but I use different grades of wet and dry sandpaper. I finish with 2000 grit and then use a swirl remover to bring it to a high gloss. I then apply polish to finish. I am not saying this is the best way to do it, just the way I do it. cheers, Jason

Poor picture quality but the sound is ok (did have some trouble with distortion on the mic though)
