Darkstrike's Roscoe Design

[Gard]

...who me?



Why, I went out to the woodpile, kicked 'round for a moment, and came up with this one (which will be exceptional for green even though it may appear a bit dark - photo on the left is the raw piece, on the left is the piece with a template laid on to give an indication of how it all fits together):

Looks sweet from here, nice and deep quilting.

What do you make of the 4 vs. 5 issue?

I'm fine with 4 or 5, unless Gard strongly recommends against one for balance reasons. Roscoe sells 5's way more than the other string configs, so I tend to go for 5's. But this is a one-of-a-kind thing, so 4 or 5 would be fine.

Thats what I was thinking, if I'm thinking straight, in the past Gard mentioned 5er Roscoes being about 80% of their sales. So, unless there is a significant effect on the balance, I too would go five.

Bird body = totally cool!

Want in, Joe? Maybe a fretless something-something?

Oh yeah! Count me in! Maybe by the time my turn comes I'll have the funds to bring it to Georgia!

Better not let it travel south via 85. It just might get swiped in a slow speed powerchair takedown.




BAM!



MINE!



God Bless, Ray

Glad to hear you approve, I was hoping you would, you have very good taste in Roscoes.

That should be the next challenge - who can come up with the UGLIEST Roscoe design? I don't know that's it's even possible, especially with Gard manning the gate...

I can always send a mugshot of myself to Gard for the 12th fret inlay.

ROFL!! That's not a fair fight, is it?

 

[Darkstrike]

I have some multi colour glitter handy..........

No need for it... there will be plenty in my mugshot.

If that plan sails.

ROFL!! That's not a fair fight, is it?

Can never have too much!


Ooh, and a tort pickguard on top.......

As Ray is a Cowpatties fan, I have faith that he could succeed in doing the ugliest ANYTHING.

Hmm, I thought your parents had already accomplished this feat?
