Members Radar-Love Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 I'd be inclined to call it brootaful or brootiful. And, with just one pickup, simply brootaful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! And a video or two for good measure: [video=youtube;RYs_OBzOECI] [video=youtube;3QvsXFu4hnU] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notjonahbutnoah Posted October 19, 2011 Members Share Posted October 19, 2011 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.

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!
