Next Benavente SCD6 progress thread

That's a beauty!! Don't change it!!

Just ditch it for a P bass (kidding......)

I dig it, although I'd personally like some sort of mac ebony or maybe cocobolo or pao fero to go with that top, maybe even brazilian rosewood if ya can get it. Perhaps some matchin' pickup covers would be nice....if you're into that sort of thing.

yeah, I'm sticking with that.

thanks for sharing that with us...

Since I have a fretless with a cocobolo FB, I was cool with going without it on this one. As for the Matching Macc p/up covers and Macc fb, yeah that was what my original SCD had, but this one is way stripped-down in comparison. I just wanted to go back to having a more simplified/versatile version of what I had before... in a 6-string format.

Hey Jai, any updates?

Hey Jai, any updates?

None that I know of... I've been checking Brian's 'under construction' link:
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

But nothing new to report at this time. Maybe Chris or Brian will post here or notify me if there is any progress.

Did they already plant the tree?

Actually I think that Chris went ahead and picked out some Koa and might have started gluing the body up, but I could be wrong.

A few days ago I had some finish and neck questions for Chris regarding my Fender Jazz (he's very helpful BTW), but we really didn't talk much about the SCD6, just that he has some killer Koa for it.

So do we get our names on the back???
j/k!

 

[j-raj]

hmm... not sure, let me think about it.

I bet I could fit all of the names on the back of the headstock if that is cool.

Just kidding man!!

Maybe in the control cavity??

no seriously, the back of the head stock would be cool... Especially with Chris and Brian's sigs too...

 

[Eric Perry]

Could you really fit all of our names??? That would be a TIGHT fit, man!

 

[GrooveWarrior]

Any updates?

 

[j-raj]

haven't heard much about this one from Brian or Chris. They are gearing up for NAMM and since my bass will not be there, they have other instruments to complete in time for the convention.

 

[j-raj]

just heard that my SCD was finished... can't wait to see how it came out.

At 4 in the morning? Does Chris ever sleep? You did tell him that it's OK to sleep at night, didn't you?

Sounds like it's getting close to time to schedule a trip to Hotlanta!

no Eric, that was just me that being up at that hour... Brian just told me yesterday during the day and it took a little while for the excitement to set in.


Here are some pix of it:

what do y'all think?

 

[82Daion]

Wow, that came out beautifully!

Congrats, man-play it in good health!

[jasonbraatz]

Oh man! I'd say that's a worthy replacement, eh?

 

[Cliff Bordwell]

Very nice.
