CURRENT CATALDO

[Highlander]

Yet again a gorgeous black fin... what's the fin for the Explorer scheduled to be...?

[dadagoboi]

Thanks, Kenny.

The Ebird will be a Tobacco Sunburst.  Up until last night with gold hardware...that may be changed to nickel.

[dadagoboi]

Yep, going to be sunburst with nickel.  I'll save these pups for something else.

This body will be black so I decided to use it for a sunburst test for the ExplorerBird.  I didn't do ANY sanding at all.  Shot Yellow toner, then red, then black, then clear, all in about 15 minutes.  I just wanted to see how even I could get it.  Black needs to be thinned more, too difficult to control.  But overall I think it's pretty close.  I'll probably do one more test before the actual EBird.



I'm  bringing back the Max with a more trad TBird emphasis, sort of a Studio.  No raised center but great upper fret access and will fit in a standard gig bag or case.  Paper 'pickguard' needs a slight trim.

The Max looks nice! One well placed pickup...good.

my 2 pickup max looks fine to me.   I just like the look of any birds with only one pup....

[dadagoboi]

Thanks, Guys!

Unleashing the inner beast, er, burst.

[Nocturnal]

[godofthunder]

  I like the Max a lot! Upper register access always gets my attention 

[Pilgrim]

That burst is very tasty.  Pure class.

[drbassman]

Still my favorite finish and you really did it up nice Carlo!  I'm looking forward to spring and using my new spray rig.  No more cans for me!
