I don't care for this patchwork looking spot on the spalted...I'd pass and try to get a big discount on the Walnut...

Good observation, but the spalting in the main body is rather exquisite IMO. The crack on the solid walnut body would always bother me. The rest of this guitar is made from the same slab of walnut, and the back does it justice.

See...that's the thing, different things bother each of us and that patch is a huge turn off to me.

I know you'll turn it into a fantastic guitar!

I love you Sp8ctre, I want to have your baby!

If you paint the whole thing flat black the patchwork won't show.

Now there is an idea!

 

[Tony M.]

I just had another idea.
I put it on one of the other threads.

I'm a sucker for spalting, so I really like this! However the patchwork would bother me if it was mine.

Like the newer Gibson's....the entire back of the guitar is rattle can black.

I was thinking camouflage rattle can

Is it my eyes? The thru holes for the strings look to be in an odd arc instead of straight.

I have also asked myself that. However, this guy is precise in the measurements he has asked me for and his other guitars are well reviewed.

 

[ChasFred]

On other makes of thru guitars I have seen straight and angled, none like this. hhmmm

Here is another on of his guitars

That is a BEAUTIFUL axe indeed, maybe I am picking at nothing, I would think the string holes would follow the saddle bridge pieces. I admit I do not know all the science behind string and scale length. If the impact of lenght stops at the bridge then it would not matter I guess. Damn that's a gorgeous finish on that guitar.

Yes, he has a lot of nice stuff!!

Myself I like the Walnut , but I wouldn't take it with the crack. I liked the style better as well, but whatever you choose I'm sure it will be a winner.

Looks like Mr. Dolmage tries to salvage the body builds that have imperfections. Nothing is wrong with this as long as the imperfections are disclosed.

Whoa, that almost went in the wrong direction........

 

[RVA]

I did something bad. Make that 2 projects. I just dealt for the all walnut one too. They will be shipped together in a couple of weeks.

Gather around ladies and gents. Assuage the guilt and shame I feel please!
