Thanks for all of the input everyone. I'm a DR kind of guy. I've been using Black Beauties on my Thumb for years (Hi-beams before that, but they're basically the same) and love them. Tom put hi-beams on 190 and I love the sound - so nice. I think, at the end of the day, I just prefer the...

I've also heard that, if played correctly, the rounds don't really eat into the fingerboard that much - basically, not bending the string in a perpendicular motion, but instead sliding and tremelo techniques that parallel the string. This is what I'm used to anyway from my last fretless, but I...

Haha...one of the first things I noticed as well, being a rider myself.

Here's a couple of pics of some neck and fingerboard glueing. This is such a cool process - first custom I've purchased and really excited. I keep checking my email first thing in the morning every day hoping to find new progress pics from Tom!

The bastogne walnut body cut out...gonna be awesome!

I posted a while back when I first began the ordering process, though I am happy to put 'em up again: Body Style: Joan Body: Swamp ash, Walnut top with black veneer underneath Neck: 5 piece - 3 maple, 2 mahogany Fingerboard: *Bloodwood * Knobs: walnut Pups: matched pair of...

#190...the construction begins. Totally psyched!

The recent sound clips have been great! Thanks everyone for the efforts - the chambered bass sounds awesome.
