Here's the neck: and the body core: In both cases, the Flame Maple is much hotter in person. When you sand it, the depth of the figure fades, but once the paint hits it, watch out! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6274 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 4:19 pm:    Brace yourself. I mean, you've already seen this as the slab of lumber, but that doesn't really prepare you for the outrageous bookmatch: Wow! bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 364 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 5:09 pm:    Wow is right!

I love being able to determine the wood grain that's actually making it into the guitar. I'm also excited about the color the wood has turned since it was sliced open. Beautiful! Let's see the top! andbassforall Member Username: andbassforall Post Number: 65 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 - 2:22 pm:    That is some chocolate-like goodness! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6348 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, August 28, 2009 - 7:26 pm:    Pretty pretty pretty! artswork99 Senior Member Username: artswork99 Post Number: 816 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Friday, August 28, 2009 - 8:06 pm:    WOW, what a top! sonicus Advanced Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 283 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, August 28, 2009 - 10:38 pm:    Even better, I see a huge Owl _ The constant companion of every swell Wizard! toma_hawk01 Intermediate Member Username: toma_hawk01 Post Number: 147 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Saturday, August 29, 2009 - 10:48 am:    I have to run to the store, and get a gallon of milk -- because that guitar looks delicious enough to dip and eat.

Will it be getting wood cavity covers?

G cje Junior Username: cje Post Number: 24 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Wednesday, September 02, 2009 - 4:17 am:    Every time Mica "warns" that she's got new pictures to post, I think I'm prepared - but I never am. I just love everything about this guitar. It's amazing to see a dream become reality before your very eyes. Jacko - the electronics, battery, and truss rod plates are all continuous wood. How could I do anything else with this Coco Bolo?!? georgie_boy Senior Member Username: georgie_boy Post Number: 932 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 02, 2009 - 4:59 am:    To me..... All the wood choices are perfect!! Can't wait to see this one finished You are a lucky man!
