DetroitBlues Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 My guitar is not being scrapped is it? Maybe scraped. Actually Marv said that's the next step. Of many steps I'm sure. Downloaded Explorer 9 the other day and spell check isn't working now... But yes, I meant scraped.
dbetts41 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 skydog52, That is a nice looking top for sure... I never trust the resolution on my comp screen.... I think you are going for a Duane / hot lanta look?
kbp810 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Downloaded Explorer 9 the other day and spell check isn't working now... But yes, I meant scraped. Oops! Lol, too early in the morning for self-spell checking (same here, no auto spell check on my work computer) - I saw how you had typed it and followed suit, lol.

Steiner Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Man, you guys are Lucky to live so close to the factory! I wish I were that close... Nice box SkyDog52!
skydog52 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 Man, you guys are Lucky to live so close to the factory! I wish I were that close... Nice box SkyDog52! If you weren't so dedicated to your job you could have went!
Hfan Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Man, you guys are Lucky to live so close to the factory! I wish I were that close... Nice box SkyDog52! +1 on lucky to be close, but for me it might bankrupt me. Beautiful finish, good choice. Cool to see it being done. Is this basically how they finish all their guitars?

NoNameBand Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Nothing like freestyling it. I guess when you've done as many as Marv, you can just wing it. It looks great. Very cool. I'm sure it is tortuous to wait but worth it in the end. Congratulations on your upcoming masterpiece.
Steiner Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Exactly Dbetts. It was like Marv shot it before! He probably did! You've landed on a goldmine! Congrats! Let's not mention the work thing...
Gitfiddler Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Marv's approach to artistic perfection seems so blase from the photos. 50 years of bringing so much joy to the owners of his handywork. Amazing! I understand the excitement of waiting for a custom order (as many others do here on the HOC), and will always think of Marv. Check out the look on his face after spraying my 525. It cracks me up he is so (Ho Hum) calm...and I was going NUTS with anticipation!! (Photo credits to Ron Warren)
SouthpawGuy Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 skydog52 and kbp810 I would like to thank you both for making an Irish man GREEN !!!! with envy
FredZepp Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Beautiful finish, good choice. Cool to see it being done. Is this basically how they finish all their guitars? Here is a pic of Patrick finishing a 535... looks like the same booth.
