Thanks, Hunter! Will you all be Periscoping at all? Just curious, not a request.

I hope to use Facebook Live but cell service & wi-fi is notoriously weak at NAMM so I'll have to see how it goes!

Thanks Hunter for this heavy charged installment

I hope you don't make it a habit going away for a couple of weeks at a time

I think I need to see the other side of this...

Another Great PSF!

That rosewood Tree of Life neck is baller!

Spalt is from a fungus in decaying wood. Spalted maple tends to be very light, soft and porous. I think they actually dip it in glue, or a stabilizer to have a finish that will last. I am guessing you can't stain wood that has been dipped in glue, it won't absorb stain properly.

I've used West Marine Epoxy to stabilize large spalted pieces. For years, gun stock makers have strengthened spalted maple by impregnating it with epoxy. It does add weight however.

DARK HORSE???

Yes, this is killer, I would love to see more. Looks like Black Limba sandwiched with a Maple Top and a Swamp Ash Back. That would be awesome, I am not a big fan of how Swamp Ash sounds, but the look, wow! I say Black Limba or Korina,... look at the Trem cavity. Or they faked us out and its really Swamp Ash all the way through, and they did the black with red grain filler just on the back, to make it look like a cap?

 

[Dusty Chalk]

I don't know, I'm pretty happy seeing the back side...

...'cause that's how I roll.

The eyeball in the neck-heel is pretty interesting...

...the stain on the neck looks like a Zombie finish; Brian G - wanna come clean?? ;-)

With Hunter at NAMM, maybe we can replay some older Private Stock. This one is from before the forum existed.
