There are many, many options. I bet they can do pretty much any combo you like and is available to them. I had mine built from the ground up in a configuration that hadn't been done before... |

Location: Angoulême - France | Jeff is right : you can give them your pantone color choice and they'll make it even with a burst with two specified colors (and they'll send you samples). If you look the specs of this guitar many details (end not only Bell's palsy eppauletes !)are not indicated on the custom shop website : just ask and they'll reply. For example I had like to have the VIP with an acoustic bridge ans under saddle thin line piezo but they couldn't do that with VIP, but everyhting else they could... and now they are able to make a 1 7/8 original slothead neck... 6 monthes ago they couldn't (for example an 1 7/8 OFC guitar : they can !).

I heard that about the original slothead as well. But when I tried to order my "OFC" with a 1 7/8 neck about six weeks ago they said they could not do it.
And, by the way, congrats to a beautiful guitar!

Location: Angoulême - France | Really sorry for you Kurt, I thought they could do it since they opened their custom shop to Japon some weeks ago... but in fact not so... probably in the future ? However the wide neck they made on that UT is really great !
Jeff I took a bracing picture but I don't find where and how to post it...??? !

Or just have Jerome post them. You can also email them to me through the OFC and I will post them. |

Jeff : what do you think about bracing compared to your UT with usual treble epaulet ? |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Definitely different Rémy. The bracing on your guitar is tapered more toward the neck on the treble bout.
I'm very interested to hear the sound of this guitar. The soundhole location and different bracing must give a different tone than the traditional designs... |

Location: south east Michigan | I think we got sidetracked on the placement of the eppelett. What is really raises the eyebrows is the color. And why? Because it's very "natural"... almost spruce-like. Do you think it would be a good idea if Darren & the boys came up with something that made a textured top look even more like spruce? Or that that be to fake looking? |

Location: closely held secret | I think those guys could meet just about any expectation you had. I don't know about trying for a spruce-looking top... seems like it would look fake, but you never know till you try it and see - might look spectacular! |

Location: Angoulême - France | Brad is right ! My idea was to find a color that looks like a natural spruce colored graphit table ! At the beginning the factory tried to convince me to choose a standard burst color but I didn't want, so they asked to give them a Pantone code color, I didn't know what it was but I looked for it and found this 134C... in my mind looking like a natural vintage spruce color ! Then they sent me samples and it was OK. For the end of the story : if they could have make a spruce-looking top with wood veins I'd do it ! |
