Members slushpup96 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 Thanks tweak'd! Ash + black grainfill has been a recurring design theme throughout the years here. The black filler really makes the wavy ash grain pop. A few other examples, older projects: The blue one is extremely tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stringbender11 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 Wow, in a world of copying and not much new those guitars are really originals. Beautiful work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Becker Guitars Posted September 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 So you have like 6 grand saved up? Very nice work as usual. While I don't want to get into pricing (not trying to spam), I just wanted to clarify that that number is not accurate. We build at a wide range of prices. Again, this is not a sales pitch I just didn't want anyone to be misinformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tweedledee Posted September 25, 2011 Members Share Posted September 25, 2011 So many 'boutique' guitars look so gaudy and the details seem like the builder is trying too hard and has forgotten about simple aesthetics, but not these. Exotic without being cheesy and unique without being obnoxious. Love 'em! Very well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Becker Guitars Posted September 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2011 Nice. I bet those pickguards aren't going to come off anytime soon, either. But yeah, our pickguards require more screws than regular plastic ones. Reason being they are made of wood and would warp over time otherwise. Personally I think it's a worthy tradeoff, but I really like wood pickguards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really nice to hear from someone who "gets" it. I'm definitely going to pass that quote along to the others at the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear! Guitarists are a very traditional bunch (generally speaking) but it's so much more fun to draw and build your own designs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
