koula901 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Well you're about 3000 miles closer to "gently" twist his arm ; )
H Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Brian (bsck1) sent me these pix of my H357 @ PSP. Thanks Brian they came out great. That's going to be stunning! I could actually imagine that with a maple fretboard.
guitarplayntaylor Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 What's the build time/cost on these guys lately? I feel like I should get one before they stop making em... even though Ive never been the biggest firebird fan ever these 357s are just so gorgeous and what a piece of history
Billgelder Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 That's going to be stunning! I could actually imagine that with a maple fretboard. Brazilian rosewood fretboard
58super Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Brazilian rosewood fretboard Brazilian rosewood board and a transparent cherry finish, what a lovely combination!
SouthpawGuy Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Brazilian rosewood fretboard Does the finish have a particular name ? Trans cherry maybe ?
Billgelder Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Does the finish have a particular name ? Trans cherry maybe ? I asked Marv for a Dark cherry finish and a Finished, unpainted, headstock front and back. He said anything you want, But no orange.
SouthpawGuy Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I asked Marv for a Dark cherry finish and a Finished, unpainted, headstock front and back. He said anything you want, But no orange. It almost looks like a cranberry red.
SouthpawGuy Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Brazilian rosewood fretboard Something like this
Billgelder Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 It almost looks like a cranberry red. I like cranberry red, so that's what we will call it. We will have to see what it's like after buffing
VJonathan Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 That looks beautiful Bill! We should name these the three amigos!
Billgelder Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I can't wait to see the three amigos all together.
DavesNotHere Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I asked Marv for a Dark cherry finish and a Finished, unpainted, headstock front and back. He said anything you want, But no orange. I wonder why he said that?
big bob Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Have you guys considered any fancy pick guards?
Billgelder Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Have you guys considered any fancy pick guards? Marv also said "No Checker board pick guards". Who do think you are Rick Nielsen?
SouthpawGuy Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Marv also said "No Checker board pick guards". Who do think you are Rick Nielsen? How about hillbilly crowbars ?
eljay Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 even though Ive never been the biggest firebird fan my 357 made a firebird fan outta me real quick! congrats to the OP!

Billgelder Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Greetings all. Thought I would share a few images of my 357 that is in final assembly in Kzoo. I am patiently waiting for what is going to be another great fiddle from the hands of Marv Lamb. I should have it soon. It will be outfitted with Duncan'59s. VJ's 357 made it to Jay Wolfe Guitars
Billgelder Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Still with Marv. But I should have it soon!
DetroitBlues Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Still with Marv. But I should have it soon! That's great news!
SouthpawGuy Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 VJ's 357 made it to Jay Wolfe Guitars Very cool !
