Both nice - but I prefer the wine coloured one.
-
He lists the brand as Gibson, but they're obviously not Gibsons. I don't know if that's carelessness, ignorance, or something else.
-
Well, I guess I'll find out about the red one. On a whim, I sniped the auction at a lowball level, never thinking I'd win it, but I did. If this is a real Wu, I think I got a good deal. But so far I've only seen pictures.
-
Excellent for you - Congrats!!!
-
Now I have to figure out the best way to splain this to the CFO.
-
That's less than half of what it would cost to order that guitar.
It was local to me, I could have checked it out if only I'd known you were interested

Nothing else going on, so I looked again, and saw the bids were still very low. So I decided to snipe it, but with a bid I didn't expect to win. It sold for a lot less than I thought it would, less than the max bid I had placed. I don't need an 18" archtop, especially one that may need work, but I'm stuck with it for now. I may resell it later, but I plan to give it a try first. Now I need to sell my Bambino. I've been slowly selling some stuff, but I don't have room for everything. Having too much stuff is such a terrible problem.

C'mon... it's what we do - it looks lovely.

Actually the ad says Gibson Super 400 STYLE... which it is patterned after. Congrats, Mr Wu does lovely work, I should know. LOL...
Slap a Bartolini 5J on the neck and new Schatten controls under the guard and some good flat wounds and while they're putting the electronics in do a thorough setup. You will be quite pleased.

-
Here we are with the body bound, headstock bound and drilled for machines and the neck "roughed-in" - should be attached next week some time.
-
Mr Wu is getting into the final stages. So, here's the last photo I'll post until it arrives here. I'll follow with plenty of pics then. I'm ecstatic with the project - it's been fun.
And an added note - working w/Ms Lora and the celebrated Mr Wu has been great.
-
Looks great! Excited for you.
-
Sweet
I've been thinking about one of those for a while now
Keep us informed of how it works out
-
In addition to his superb skills with wood, Mr. Wu certainly shoots a nice sunburst, does he not?
-
exactly! I'm champing at the bit to see it once its roughed down, clear-coated (or whatever they do) and buffed. Looking forwarded to that.
-
Yeah his bursts really are wonderful. But let us not forget the amazing inlay work Mrs. Wu does... Please !!
Coming along very nicely.
