It wasn't my best work.
Not to mention: I'm allergic to purpleheart......I already scratch my a$$ enough!!!!
I think you should make me something sweet, maybe a stringed instrument of some sort.
I'll be damned........That's EXACTLY what I was thinking.I think you should make me something sweet, maybe a stringed instrument of some sort.

:lol: Well, I'll tell you what, it'll be mine, but it can stay at your house so I have something to play when I visit.
So, a solid-purpleheart body, UCEW-esque RG with a flamey maple neck? Do a laminated neck with strips of purpleheart between the laminates. Maybe purpleheart inlays (dots or a vine or sharkteeth) on a maple board? Oh, and a purpleheart laminate on the headstock.
Just make sure you seal everything so you don't break out in a rash every time you pick it up.

I still have a solid 3-1/2"x3-1/2"x 46" piece of CLEAN tight flamed maple waiting to become a neck (or neck-thru??)So, a solid-purpleheart body, UCEW-esque RG with a flamey maple neck?

I don' know what direction to go in yet, but whatever I do, Stephen is gonna love it!!! LOL
I can sympathize with the allergy, I finished a beautiful warmoth strat in tung oil satin just to realize that tung oil is an asian tree nut that gave me a strong allergic response. I had to sell it.
I think you should make a sweet carved top too. perhaps chamber the body to get a nice reduced wight also
