Nice finish------this one doesn't do anything for me though.
Maybe if it had white guards...?

Me likey. However, me got no bread.......at least not enough of those c-notes that this one's-a-gonna ultimately cost. Overall appearance does remind me of my former Gibson SG '61 Reissue from yesteryear. Props to whoever scores this puppy. Late.......Goofyfoot.

The fretboard was filled using a new clear UV pore filler as opposed to the oil based filler that leaves the bubinga with white streaks in the grains. There was some discussion about this over at the company forum a few weeks back.

Ben, I'm interested in seeing one in-hand as I had always noticed the whiter filler, especially on my 2004 fretboard. Not that it was ever a distraction - two coats of Xymol and the bubinga has a most beautiful 3D golden highlight glow.
Love your sig too - must be a comfy feeling in these tougher times.
And that Burgundy ain't bad either!

It's been done -- 40 years ago, back in the day when the CP inlays were standard (on the deluxe models, for you anoraks):Mateybob wrote:This burgundy colour on a 360WB with white binding and pickguards etc. Yummy.
