11 piece Universe body?


I remember seeing an 11 piece Universe body on this site recently, but I cannot find the picture. Can anybody post it? IIRC, SIMS was selling one recently as well. Am I correct? If not where can I get one?

SCS still has the body and should be done with the clearcoat soon. Chris Woods is also pretty close to being done with my neck pictured here: (Its the no inlay maple fingerboard with HEAVY flame/quilt. The finished product will have a reverse Ibanez 7 headstock.)

I've recently gotten the bug really bad to do my own guitar. I believe I'm going to do something like this next. ....a reverse headstock 7 string? ...man, oh man, that's going to be tough looking!

Chris is also currently doing a neck for me which will be VERY custom.
It's hard to contain my excitement(for an old guy!)

Re: 11 piece Universe body?


Glad you guys like it. Ill be sure to post photos when it is complete. Any suggestions for pickup and knob colors? Part of me says stay classic with either zebra or creme, but the other part of me says be obnoxious with color. What ya think?
