Okay, I wanted to be "in" with something a little different. This is my first Sadowsky, a NYC V4 (since sold after getting my last NYC, but you can hear it in the link in my sig). Anyway, my band was playing at a place in the French Quarter and "Uncle" Lionel Baptiste walked in. He watched for a few, gave us a nod of approval and headed on. To get the nod from Uncle Lionel was cool! As a guy that grew up playing metal and only ventured into the world of New Orleans music a few years ago, this was a nice little moment of knowing we had the groove down right!
If you aren't familiar with "Uncle" Lionel, here's a link:
Anyway, I love these pics that my wife snapped with the cell phone camera at the last minute. You see the look on my face as I look over at our guitarist in the second one. He'd just given us "the nod" before he left.

Hi Guys, put down the deposit yesterday on my first NYC custom build! It's a WL5 with a few twists. Here's the planned specs and a photoshop mock-up based on the picture of the raw wood from the master grade tops section of the website. Now, I must pop off down to the hardware store to pick up a long weight wait...
TOP | Koa "9"
FRONT BODY FINISH*|* Natural/ Gloss
REAR BODY FINISH*|* Natural/Vintage Tint/ Gloss
BODY*|* Koa top with Accent Line on Swamp Ash body – Chambered
NECK*|* Maple with Thin Matte Nitro Finish / Vintage Tint
HEADSTOCK | Medium Vintage Tint
FINGERBOARD*|* Amazon (or Madagascar) Rosewood, 22 Frets, 12" Radius, 1 3/4" Nut Width, Vintage Tint

And, my latest build..a Standard 4 in Trans Purple:
Here is a little instrumental I have been working on. All instruments were performed and recorded by me.

Yes Candy Apple Orange, although it seems this is more into Red than some CAOs I saw recently. I wonder if this is just a trick of light. I hope not as I prefer the "redder" color.
Was hesitating between black or white blocks but I believe with the new black pearl blocks are great with tha color too...

Gorgeous piece of koa! You sure you want to cover that up with a pickguard?
