DavesNotHere Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I thought I'd start a build thread for my new H-15x. It's not quite a 150 and it's not quite a 157. I'm not sure what Marv will put on the label. I'm also not sure what the official color will be named. Marv and I went back and forth on the finish just like we did on my 357 It wasn't until the 357 was finished that he christened it Korina Orange. (aka Dave's PIA Korina Orange) This one may just wind up being "Dave's PIA Brockburst but a Little Lighter and Just a Bit More Orange Than Brown" Anyway, I took the shots of the raw blanks, and thanks to the crew at Heritage and Skydog52 for getting me the in process shots.
Steiner Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 1 piece top AND back??? You Dog. I've always wondered about that; you beat me to it. Now I see why you go to Green Oak Guitars. What fun to see it go together. Congrats!
Billgelder Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 That's coming along very nicely. I like the finish. .
FredZepp Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Yeah man...!! Nice features on that custom spec. .... some of them small details that add up to a sweet custom. Those are some great build shots...
bsck1 Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Wow, is that ever maturing into a fine looking gal. I especially like her backside. Her neck is beautiful. Apologize for assuming the gender.
HANGAR18 Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Very interesting! I see a cross between a H150 and a Millie predominantly with a lot of bling added!
fxdx99 Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Nice build thread - that's a beauty. The stars in the inlays is a very unique touch. Like the whole guitar aesthetic. Very well spec'd.
Spectrum13 Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Very sweet H150 custom. Ebony board? Looks buffed out and ready for the hardware. Not too long a wait now.
Keith7940236 Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Very nice, can't wait to see the final product.
Yooper Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Wow. So what color straws/plastic sleeves did you order for the truss rod? Better bring towels when you show it off. Drool happens.
volhoo Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Wow - that is awesome. Can't wait to see it complete. -
rockabilly69 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Beautiful wood and color, and I also like the tummy cut, which should help drop some weight! If that thing sounds half as good as it's looking, it should be a winner!
hinesarchtop Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Nice! Marv's really enjoying himself in those pics I have a pic of me with Joe Pass that looks the same way. Cool guitar. Nice one piece top!
DavesNotHere Posted November 13, 2013 Author Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks for the nice words guys. I'm hoping it will be finished in time to be under my Christmas tree I'm not sayin' what color the straws are, but I will say that I had them custom hand blown (is that even a thing?) by the Trappist monks of The Abbaye Notre Dame De Scourmont. They are famously known for their skill in brewing beer and fine custom plastics.
