Ash Stuff - 2010

[ash]

That Works in Progress thread is getting a bit big, so I'll throw interesting new gats into this thread for 2010.

Let's just start with a bit of catch-up from the old thread so that this one is complete from the beginning:

Sexy red Safon:

And some fresh meat! RuBear's new Heilo:
(More/bigger pics here)



Ash GT bridge, Suhr DSV/DSV+ pickups into two volumes and a tone with a 5-way switch giving Neck-series/Neck-parallel/Both-HBs/Both-SCs/Bridge-series.



Cedrella body, maple neck with padauk stripes, rosewood fretboard and cedrella headstock face.



Open-grain satin lacquer all over for minimal dampening of resonance. Gotoh tuners, Schaller straplocks

RuBear is in the dictionary under "lucky sonofabitch".

[Zaulkin]

I like the heilo very much. It's awesome.

Ooh ooh .... What about Korina action! Any in the pipeline?

[Zaulkin]

So what does the Cedrella sound like?

[Basket Case]

Damn Adrian! Your gats just keep getting sexier!

[ash]

So what does the Cedrella sound like?

There are two common descriptions: "like mahogany but a bit brighter and airier" and "very much like the real old real mahogany that Gibson used in the '50s, but a lighter colour". Both seem to be pretty much true.

Ooh ooh .... What about Korina action! Any in the pipeline?

Yes indeed, but it might not see daylight for a while. I have a couple of strat and tele bodies to experiment with. There's one badass explorer underway and plans to start one of everything from the Gibson camp.

Korina LP would be nice.

I'd love to see what one of your Les Pauls might be like.

Thats because he doesnt want to ruin the guitar

Gorgeous work Adrian, that Safon is sex!!

Has it got heat bent sides or a hollowed out body?

[RuBear]

Awesomeness!!!

It's looking better than I dreamed, especially like the photo from behind.

Hands off Hamo. Ez al Mynz

Less than a week now, thanks Adrian

[Fler]

Wow man that red Safon is gorgeous...
