Really enjoyed working with Tom Bartlett in the past and look forward to the next replica I will be getting a little less than a year from now... Not interested in getting into the replica 'discussion' but this one will be stamped in the control cavity noting its a replica....
So here is my current replica, I specifically wanted big wide flame and a deeper burst, picked out the wood with Tom and absolutely love this guitar... have my real PAFs, tailpiece, centralabs, bees, pots, knobs and switchtip on it... weighs a hair over 8.5lbs and I look forward to playing it every day...
My next replica will be very different, lightly flamed with a faded honeyburst... the wood I picked out I wanted interesting vertical grain but not too strong and some mineral flecks but again not too strong... here is the maple (lightweight and rings beautifully)
.... so being that I cant wait to see what this next one is gonna look like and being that Im pretty good with photoshop, I took this piece of wood and put it together in photoshop.... the guitar doesnt exist yet but it will look a lot like this... two slightly different colorings... I'm psyched!
