Hey all, so I somehow (and very luckily) find myself in the midst of a custom build…well perhaps at the very beginning stages. I head to a luthier friend’s shop next week to pick my tone wood pieces and the big question that is coming up for me is “what aesthetic do I want?”
Love the orangery glow and brown stain backs of a teens Gibson and am aware of Dave Surette’s Girouard pumpkin top. But who else out there have you seen as examples of modern builders with pumpkin top finishes?
Love a burst and all, but I want to have something a little different and stand out. Also constantly drooling over the Honey Amber finish on a lot of Collins’ and Northfield’s Amber finish.
What have you seen out there from contemporary makers in the pumpkin top realm? This would be an A style with F-holes.
