This is one I've just finished up and I've been calling "Kade's Space Scene SS6". Kade being the gent who commissioned the build and he has a bit of an interest in all things space related.

Anyway, here is a breakdown of the specs and I hope you guys like it!



The fingerboard inlay on this one consist of:

Rosewood, Cocobolo, Bocote, Black Limba, Paua shell, Black Mother of Pearl, Gold mother of Pearl, Abalone, White Mother of Pearl, Malachite.

Guitar specs:

SS6
Flat top body: African Walnut top, Flamed Maple center over African Mahogany with Rosewood stringers and a full width USA Ash back.
Maple neck with Cameroon Ebony fingerboard

Oil finish

Floyd Rose Special with Fatblock upgrade, Grover tuners & Straplock system
Bareknuckle Pickups - Aftermath calibrated set

16" radius

Very nice indeed Allan, and even the back looks really cool. Sure plenty of others are going to like this one as well.

This fretboard must have been a lot of work! Beautiful wood with nicely contrasting colours too. Well done, congrats.

I guess your customer is now renaming musical notes to planet names and so. For example, d# would be "Saturn ring's lower right seen in current astronaut's perspective".

Thanks. Yes the board was a lot of work, took a fair bit longer than I first thought it would, but these things happen.

Customer is currently travelling Europe, so he's only seen pics and is keen to get his pretty hands on it!
