Guys,
I seems like i will be leaving the support group, just temporarilly though (I'm gonna have a fretted model just like my fretless made within the the next couple of weeks) Waiting to take some new pics. I'll post them asap.
See you back here real soon.

by contrast I think I'm gonna be here for quite a while. my Huff goes into production pretty soon but I'm talking to Bill Conklin, Fred Bolton and the Ryans of Sage Guitars... this could be a crazy year for me!
Yep - Pete is the only person Ive ever seen with White Wenge, but he hasnt seen it available since he bought the first batch. It has the exact same grain and density in general as the dark stuff though, it just looks buttery white/yellowish.
....and that's crazy in a great way !!
Must be great to liaise with these great builders and see how each luthier creates what you need !!

I feel the overwhelming urge to talk to 'the Ryans' (I like that
) at Sage Guitars. Man, they are making some killer basses! Oh, and I definitely need to talk to George Furlanetto, as well!

He had two of them, as I recall (one had redwood burl block inlays, I believe), and yes, those were the ones that hooked me!
