FredZepp Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Whoa... that is incredible. I do remember seeing it in the finishing room... Sheesh, what a guitar.
Kuz Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 WOW, I am getting the special "funny" feeling when I look at that baby!!!!
koula901 Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 That's a beaut, Gitfiddler! And with P90s too! You're gonna love that.
jturbo77 Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Wow, that neck looks amazing. Love the paint job on the body too.
yoslate Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 I'd seen it before, too. It's a heartbreaker! The flame is perfect, front and back, and the Sunset Burst on that lumber is a classic. With P-90's, and that Marv-whittled neck profile, that piece will be as good as a guitar gets! Congrats, Tim! Fabulous concept, executed as only our friends on Parsons Street can!

Fabulous concept, executed as only our friends on Parsons Street can! How cool is it that this could come to be. A guy in Oakland orders a guitar from a factory in Michigan and a guy from Alabama got to, not only see the guitar, but call the customer and then provide photos. Then a guy from North Carolina remembers this guitar from a web gallery of random photos. I am currently having my dream guitar made at 225 Parsons. Marv Lamb is the project leader. It's all magic! What a cool web community we have here. Now a word from our sponsors..... Skydog's Heating and Cooling. "Thank you for your copper."

What a cool web community we have here. Well said, Ron. What a cool web community this is!! There is NO other guitar club or forum like the HOC. And we are very blessed to have the support of such wonderful guitar builders and artists as the gang on Parsons Street. I'm certain that your H357 'Firebird for High Flying Bird' will be one special instrument, second to none. Thanks for taking those pictures of my 525. They have made me crazy with anticipation for this gitfiddle!! One more close-up shot for my friends here, and thank you for all of the kind words.
skydog52 Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 That is a killer finish. Congratulations. Can't wait to see the finished creation.
tulk1 Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 It actually looks like a sunset. How friggin' cool is that? That might just become my favorite finish on a guitar. Wowzers. So, seems we've found a members' guitar every year, haven't we?

FredZepp Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Have her re-routed to OHIO. Myself and FredZep will take turns baby sitting her while you are gone!!!! Oh yeah.. It's good for a new Heritage to resonate ... to open it up , acoustically. We can't have it sitting idly waiting ...... and Ohio is on the way to San Fran , anyhow.

High Flying Bird Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 It looks like you could stick your arms into the finish. Wow!
fxdx99 Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Whoa - what a BEAUTY! Absolutely love the sunsetburst finish and that scratch plate really sets it off. Blocks, bound headstock... Nice specing on that one Tim. Looking forward to more pics and your review.
Jazzpunk Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 That is a killer finish. Congratulations.Can't wait to see the finished creation. That is gorgeous!!! Congrats!

WOW that looks amazing! Everytime i see threads like this it makes me hope that my H157 is almost done!!!!! I ordered it back in the beginning of August, so I'm hoping it won't be too much longer.
