Hey All!
I just finished up this 3 legged console. This is the third one I've done in black, but the first with the Dalmatian celluloid. I thought it turned out pretty wild so i thought id share. Theres a couple threads already with all the info on it. Ill put links at the bottom.
Have a great Friday!

We can reasonably assume the guitar's body is NOT....
Bakelite, eh?
Tell us more..............
As a personal issue, I'd prefer to see the bar holder located somewhere along the inside/left side of the neck where it would be readily accessible to my left hand and less likely to be dropped onto the guitar surface. I'd prefer to have the pick holder closer to my physical person than on the far side of the guitar body.
These comments should NOT be construed as criticism of your fine design or workmanship. Just a couple of personal preferences.

One of the classiest I've ever seen, modern or vintage - and very tasteful. Some modern boutique steels are "artistic," but they don't resonate with my personal tastes - this one sure does. I'd seriously be interested in a 10-string. Is that something you would consider to make and sell?

This is a great time for those who want a custom-made steel as there are some wonderful luthiers out there who are making fabulous steels at a variety of price-points.
In addition, these luthiers have access to some quality pick-up winders to make those good-looking steels sound GREAT.
Thank you! Definitely inspired by the bakelite guitars, this one is hard rock Maple.
I have basically designed this guitar around Lollars pickup. The bridge was a huge undertaking and allot of R and D into it. But I get asked allot about an 8 string version. So i would like to work on something that is more adaptable to the different string configurations. But as a 6 string player, I had to tackle this one first.
I saw one of Scott's steels at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival back in August, and as good as this looks in the picture I have no doubt it looks even better in person. Stunning guitar, as was everything else he had at the show.
Beautiful design. The pickguard material looks great with the black body. Elegant bridge. Carbon fiber reinforced neck. Lollar pickup. I'll bet it sounds as good as it looks.
