Private Stock Friday

[Glide-bpm]

I'm baaaaaaaaack, with another round of Private Stock Friday!

Let's start with a video, shall we? Here's Walter applying Fire Red stain on a killer top, although not a Private Stock guitar.

Guess that's what they'll be doing with my Special 22 Limited Edition Semi-Hollow Artist Package in Fire Red Burst... Due Q1 sometime... aCk!!!

Can you put me in contact with the dealer getting that thing?

The lurking, the upside down claw hand, the grimace. It doesn't get more metal than that.

Without having to tape up the binding/sides of the guitar?

Nope, that's real time

I’ll be happy to take the F from those f holes!

I dig that bridge -- looks comfy, like the one on the Holcomb. Hipshot?

 

[vchizzle]

Awesome stuff Shawn!

It looks like a Hipshot to me.

As always, great axes...thanks, Shawn, and Hunter. So, what about taking those PS wood outlines and making frames and put pictures of the guitars in them...hmmmm?

At first I thought Vampire had PAUL tattooed on his fingers, “man, I thought that’s committing to the brand!”.

Rich doesn’t have a thumb on his right hand, was this from a bizarre carving incident and is he trying to put some sort of Jedi mind voodoo onto Vampire?!

That’s called PRS style cajones!

This isn't the scrap, this is the part we use to bind an f hole. We cut an oversized f hole, inlay the complimentary piece of wood and then cut the f hole to the proper size. This leaves the f hole bound with wood.
Take a closer look at the guitar Vampire is carving, it has an ebony plug. That plug will be carved down leaving the f hole with ebony binding.

So in this instance, does the ebony f hole insert start off the same thickness as the maple billet?

I should have known that -- there would be drill holes and whatnot if it was the actual piece being removed from the f-hole.

What I'm hearing is that there's still an f-hole shaped cutout (say...for use as a keychain or the like...)...
