What is that back, swamp ash?

If so that is beautiful the way PRS stains them. Can anyone comment on the tonal characteristics of this with a maple top? I would love to do this if and when I ever spec out a PS, I want to. My favorite tone is like an SC245/ Les Paul.

Can mahogany be stained like this? I know it doesn’t have the same grain but, it may still have a nice affect.

ASH. Mahogany takes grain filler, but I've never seen mahogany to have annular ring grain like ash does. So you could use the aqua filler and black stain to get this color in a "doghair" vibe, but not quite like the body in your quote. That back is incredible, I think it came out quite nicely.

The ash/maple combo is more in the quack-spanky telecaster zone. The LP 2HB tone is all about the mahogany body and neck. Whatever you spec as a neck and board wood would likely have more impact, however.

Good to see your sense of humour is intact! How is the digit?

It's coming along. Still pretty swollen, but pretty much zero pain. The flexibility comes and goes - I'm supposed to keep flexing it every day. I see the doc Friday to see what comes next.

That’s good to know. Take care

In love with this thread!

A little snow on the ground today in Stevensville, perhaps the last of the season? We'll see! Happy Friday!

[alantig]

That last one - wow!

And is that line on the top of the 7-string done like the faux binding? Taped off, not inlaid?

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Burl backplates, yum!

 

[11top]

Last one is a private stock.

 

[ViperDoc]

That burl is MENTAL.

 

[11top]

Anyone else see spirits rising in the night in that burl top?

And no, I'm not high.

 

[Mike Duncan]

Total "Raiders of the Lost Ark" action....yes.

It looks like a depiction of hell from a 16th century Flemish painting. (That's a pop culture reference everyone can relate to, right?)

That last one is easily my favorite out of any guitar in this thread. Wow!

Well yeah...when I saw that...I immediately thought “That looks just like the right triptych panel, ‘Hell’, from The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch.”
