Boggs Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 This design is based on a customer request. It is the first one. I am doing it somewhat like I did the last Cicada with an edge-laminated bubinga, spruce, wenge and mahogany top and back on a tulip poplar chambered skeleton. Custom wind (not off-the-shelf) DiMarzio mini 'buckers will liven it. Custom mahogany bezels will hold them. Here are some pics of progress and there will be a video of the neck pocket being routed at the end. The pocket is still being routed in its extened length in the video. It will be trimmed at the end. http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish5s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish6s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish7s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish8s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish9s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish10s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish11s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish12s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish13s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish14s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish15s.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/The_Catfish/Catfish16s.jpg [video:youtube] Check out my Rock Beach Guitars page showing guitars I have built and repaired... http://www.rockbeachguitars.com
Winston Psmith Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Brother, that is beautiful work. Thinking back to your Xerox post, how can we (your forum buddies) get your guitars in front of some people with serious money? "Monsters are real, and Ghosts are real too.

Thinking back to your Xerox post, how can we (your forum buddies) get your guitars in front of some people with serious money? Very cool, as always. Would you be into trading links (linking to each others pages)?

Boggs Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 One of the things I am going to do is get to The New York Amp Show which really targets the boutique amp and guitar customer. The market I am after simply requires more $ invested in targeted promotion that I do not have at this time. I am working on it though in spite of my employment situation. I would be interested in sharing links... Sure! Thank you both for the kind words and the vote of confidence!
