Greg,
That is bad ass! When you get it home, I want to come visit! Maybe get some coaching to have one made for me? You're awesome dude. BTW, I like the color, but you know what you want.

edit - later photo update displays the shading is as close to my original request as one could reasonably expect. I prefer darker shadings, especially with white edge, fretboard, and headstock binding, which will reveal itself in time.Last edited by 2bornot2bop; 01-09-2016 at 06:59 PM.

Cool.
Is this going to be a FOTCABNBNGD (Fly Over To China AirBnB NGD)?

Wow. Ive been reading these "Mr Wu" threads with great interest. Must be a lot of fun following a build for a custom-ordered guitar. This one already looks stunning.
-
Love that color! Beautiful guitar!

looks awesome 2b!
There is something really satisfying with having your guitar build to your own specs. I hope it lives up to everything you want from it!
We say "anticipated joy is the pures form of joy" ... so enjoy waiting for it to be finished!

That is a great looking guitar and a fabulous sunburst. Is it 25.5 scale 22 frets? my eyes aren't so good these days. All you need now is a Super 400 tailpiece.
-
Wow that really is very nice !! In some of the later shots there is a blond cutaway guitar in the right upper hand background, at 2am I was wondering if that was mine now in it's first spray stages. Hmmmm
Really nice, a real monster !!
-
Bro, you are going 2b doing cartwheels when that comes home.
It looks incredible. I am seeing a black finger style tailpiece, Kent Armstrong 12 pole, a piezo in the bridge, stereo out and Ebony Gotoh tuners.
oh sorry, I just built my own guitar..
i love it bro.

It's gorgeous. Would love to order a custom build in the future if for no other reason than to enjoy the "process."
Even vicariously it's a fun ride.
-
That is a fabulous sunburst.
-
Really sweet ! The bigger the car the better the ride. If you don't mind me asking the cost of your new Big Bertha ?
I like the reverse S400 neck inlays and the Jimmy f-holes and of course I am a sunburst guy too.

The top at the cutaway center is thicker, so presumably you ordered the top to be first carved and then the cutaway cut, I like that. The re curve is deep. That should improve sonority. 25.5 scale and 3.5 rims, plus an impressive finish, make yours a very classy and classic instrument, though unique.
Plus your ability to get through with your design requirements benefit all:
You get a superb instrument.
The WU family got an incentive to expand their craft venturing to try industry standards that are in demand. They might receive more orders now thanks to your direction and their willingness to learn by doing.
And we consumers can also benefit.
So you deserve not only congratulations but also thanks!!!

Mr.2b is da man !!!
-
That's going 2b an amazing guitar.
Have fun buddy.

Lora has the patience of Confucius, and one seriously good translation program!
I'm not desiring perfection...but honestly, thus far I've been blown away with Mr. Wu's skill set.
