I’d buy this as a core model… in a heart beat (but without divots)

Very elegant instrument by @IshGuitars
Already been shown in PrivateStockFriday thread...

I have no need for another guitar, and especially wasn't looking for something like this, but this is so elegant and sleek, I wish Paul would start a core model like this. Or at least do a limited run.

Simpler or no binding, core outline birds, no headstock binding would make it a regular core neck.
No need for flame top, but yes scraped/faux binding please.
Body-wise it's just routed hollow under the maple.
Skip the pickup routs, tweek the CNC to skip divots, so this could easily be a limited run.

@IshGuitars? Limited Run? Yes? You could sign me up for one right away (in the 3-4K range).

I still dig this one and the white one

This is the kinda guitar that should be seen and not heard.

I’d totally rock one as a couch guitar if I were a thousandaire.

guitars without pickups sound terrible.

I like both this and the first one (white), but I wish the divots were used in a different pattern! I can imagine several ways were both large and small divots could create a really cool looking top!! In both of these situations, it simply looks to me like the job is not finished (ran out of pots maybe)!!!

It would be awesome if the divots were touch sensitive and by fingering them you could change the volume and tone of the sounds it makes.






sounds bad but it’s a cool idea.

No divots for me, please.

I prefer the white one, it was more elegant looking.

yea, but with or without divots

 

[Ruffone]

With this matte black one, definitely no divots. With the white one… If it’s a player, definitely no divots. But if it’s an art piece to hang on a wall, the divots add to the artsy look to it.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

The divots are the best part, they force you to wonder why they’re there. It’s art.

 

[jxe]

volume and tone are implied, it was in last quarter’s artforum.

 

[MichaelS]

In case you were wondering what no divots looks like...

@sergiodeblanc almost had me going with divots, but a quick'n'dirty photo shop later, I remain without divots

 

[DISTORT6]

My take -
1 divot
1 volume pot
1 \m/ pickup
1 happy mf’r

 

[RJK Tech]

it’s cool but can’t understand the asking price. I’m down for 3-4k special run suggestion though.

but you could route and put the pickup anywhere, custom custom.

 

[ViperDoc]

I could see a white model with hundreds of divots. Sell it with a Private Stock putter.

“Four Month Layaway”?

 

[Gtrbldr]

I dont get it. It looks to me like a guitar hero "guitar" or wall candy. For that amount of money and the purpose I'd buy an acoustic with all ki ds of bells and whistles.

However I am with Distort6 on this one
