Wow! Having custom built gitters made to your own specs has got to be a real treat. There's not much of a chance that I'll be able to enjoy that opportunity unless I make 'em myself. I'm embroiled in creating my next monstrosity even now. It has a wengee face, a very dark wood, like a cross between ebony and rosewood, and brass back and sides, mostly because of the cost and ease of availability of brass. The neck is an old beauty I found years ago made of mahogany with an ebony fingerboard, a rosewood overlay on the headstock and nickel silver frets. It has twelve frets to the body and a slotted head, like all of my favorite guitars of the past. I'm getting the body finished in an electric blue color so that the etching planned for the back will stand out as brass colored. I think my older brother will like it when it's finished. I think my next one will be another just like it but for me.
