gpuma Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 GIO, I was their on this past Wednesday, and it was in the finish rack waiting for the electronics. Beautiful guitar,Marv said he had a helluva time with your color. ... And he did a great job. Thank you
bolero Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 hot damn.....that is one sexy gtr!!! congrats Gio!!
DavesNotHere Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 She's a beauty Gio! You'll soon be in the club and then we can teach you the secret handshake I didn't have any trouble waiting for the finish date, but once Marv told me it was finished that was when I lost all my patience. How thin did you wind up getting Marv to make the neck? .
gpuma Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 How thin did you wind up getting Marv to make the neck? Good Heavens! who knows. Just adds to the pain
peterbright Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Think 6 weeks and it will beat your expectations!
gpuma Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 I'll post full details of the story and of the custom features in the Ngd thread whenever I'll get her, but in the meantime here she is. What custom features do you see?
Redsand Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I'm excited for you Gio!!!! Are you picking it up in person?
gpuma Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Are you picking it up in person? Given the level of obsession that these pics have generated in me, I don't think I would be able to go through the suffering and torturing that shipping entails;so yes, I'll definitely pick it up. Besides I want to personally thank Marv.

What custom features do you see? Only two control pots for one thing. One volume one tone? Two volumes no tone? Two tones????? I really like the blocks
gpuma Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 One tone and one input jack maybe? No, one volume and one tone. No input jack on the top. It is where it is supposed to be: on the rim.
kidsmoke Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Are you picking it up in person? He'll be chauffeured, actually. I fear for his well being - what with the distraction of the guitar on board.

gpuma Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 You are wrong Gpuma. Go back and look at the original Firebird!!!!! I did not mean Right as in authentic. I mean right as in "I don't want any weenie sticking out of my guitar"
gpuma Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 Ebony board ? Yes. the blocks are supposed to give continuity to the flow of the maple stripe
Guest HRB853370 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I did not mean Right as in authentic. I mean right as in "I don't want any weenie sticking out of my guitar" LMAO! I get it now!! Firebirds and SG's are the only ones I like with the jack on the face. I don't care for Gibby's 335 and 355 having the jack on the face, it makes me worry about the top cracking from all the in and out pressure. Heritage got it right putting it on the rim.
gpuma Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 He'll be chauffeured, actually. I fear for his well being - what with the distraction of the guitar on board. Yes, I heard that playing guitar while driving is worst than texting
