Here's a preview, still deciding on the neck... My original plan was Ebony with either neon-blue vine inlay or chrome vine inlay, depending on how the body came out. Seeing the body now, I think blue's definitely the way to go, only trouble is, debating on whether Ebony or Maple... hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Thanks again Ernie!

Orb,
That looks amazing! I like the H/H better too.

Maple (IMO) would make it flow nicely, if you get what I am saying.

What color pickups are you thinking of?

that is super sexy! the fretboards gotta be maple or some crazy white wood. thad be sick

DaniJem · #**214** 01-28-2010, 08:18 PM

that swirl is awesome!!!

... NO maple fretboard in this case.

The body is already too light in color, smooth, near white, pale.. uhmmm... How do you say in english??
so you should choose a black ebony fretboard with neon-blue vine inlays, emphasizing (highlighting) the neck respect to the body.
and the guitar will be veeeeeeery cool!!!

Thanks guys! I'm still on the fence. Part of me wants to go maple too, but at the same time, the other half of me is hooked on Ebony and how the contrast will look. I'm going to ask Ernie for his opinion and maybe some more pics if he can spare them. In the pics it does look really light... I'm thinking Maple might take it just a bit too *far* *that* way... not sure though... then again if it's just the pics and it's not really that light, then the Maple would work.

Decisions, decisions!

Hell, worst case scenario, and granted it'd be more $$$, just get one neck one way (Maple) and the other Ebony later on if the Maple's not working, or vice versa...

orb451 · #**216** 01-28-2010, 11:41 PM

Oh and to answer the question, still unsure of pickup colors, probably something safe though... I'm thinking blue or blue/white or maybe blue/grey. Hardware will be chrome/silver.

i'm really curious to order somthin! ('cause i hate the canceling situation!)

The Scumbuckler · #**220** 01-30-2010, 04:59 AM

That is a beautiful thing that is. Me, I'd be going with the ebony FB, but thats just me. High-light the vine better.

I too recieved word from the Ernster bout my neck. Due for completion by the end of Feb !

Y E SSSSSsssss ! WOOOOO HOOOOO. Super freaken awesomness.

Orb - that swirl is AWESOME!!!! Great color, no dead spots in the swirl. I love it!

I have an old Kramer Sustainer body with ET right now. I sent it to him in October to get swirled. I hope to have it turn out as nice as yours. Again, that is sweet!!!!

ET Guitars · #**222** 02-18-2010, 11:52 PM

scoobyjr, we are using the same blue color as Orb's, in your swirl, hope thats ok. Have done some experiments and getting the color balance like how you requested, and have not done the dip yet. Soon as I'm happy with the color balance we'll swirl and send you the pics.

Got my custom guitar from ET Guitars today and I must say it is absolutely beautiful! Ernie is a man of his word and came through for me big time!

Took a little longer than originally planned, but trust me gentlemen, ET makes one hell of a nice product.

I will get some pics up soon.
