Shawn....Based on the model I recently spec'ed out....we are in the process of creating a new stain/color for PS.....when you get to the point where they are developing the test samples for my new "Pomegranite Glow" that will complement the "Jade Glow" we created 2 years ago.....try to get some photos of the process in which they develop new colors and test how the burst will look.

Please.

I think we need a closeup of the brush stroke birds on Paul's guitar being built above.

Great stuff Shawn!

Hi Bennett,

When I started this thread I agreed not to seek out specific guitars, I would simply post photos of guitars that happened to cross my path. It would be a full time job for someone to actively follow and photographically document PS guitars as they are being built. Sorry.

Well played sir, well played

I'm a little punch-drunk after that salvo of fretboard smack down!:box:The figuring is just :o

Hooray for Teaser Thursday!!!

Every Paul's Guitar I've seen has floored me. No joke.

I love those brush stroke birds

Yeah me too. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the change, but I really like them now.

I think they are going to have to grow on me. Is that Ivory, or Banded Melon? MOP or Paua would look sick.

Teaser Thursday is getting to be just as bangin' as PS Friday! Thanks Shawn!!!!

To hell with Friday! Those shop pics have me wishing it was September. They instantly triggered the smell of the wood for me :biggrin:
If I get sequestered, I'm coming to sand guitars.

Awesome stuff Shawn!
