DUDE THAT ROCKS!!! I love Umphrey's as well and I'm glad you like "Mother Earth"; she's one of my favorite builds of ours.

do you have any hi-res pics of mother earth?? I would love to see it up close! what kind of wood is the body? and I love how the neck has some of that green/yellow burst-fade too!

 

Certainly! The body is solid curly maple, as are the neck (its neck-thru), fretboard, and pickguard. The only other wood used in the build is purpleheart, which we used for the fretboard inlay/binding and body/neck/pickguard laminations. Thanks a lot!

Nice, different stuff that doesn't look like you tossed cooked spaghetti at the oven and copied the shape for a body, and still doesn't look like a tele, strat, lp... very cool, and hard to do in 2011 I imagine.

 

:lol: Thanks man! I'm going to pass that one along to everyone else at the shop, they'll get a kick out of it.

Awesome vids and thanks for the pics and specs! I was at that show in Boston at the BOA Pavilion when jake and brendan played those for the first time. Awesome guitars. Do you guys have a showroom? I'd love to check it out next time im down in Boston

We do in the front room of our shop, and you are absolutely welcome to come by when you're in town. We're not actually in Boston (we're between Boston and Providence) but we're only 45 minutes or so out of the city. Let me know next time you're in the area!
