ziricote eh? lemme know how it feels/sounds

Ziricote feels like a tight-grained rosewood (almost as smooth as ebony) but sounds like rosewood. It has subtle stripes that remind me of Maccassar ebony. We don't ever get much ziricote in, but we had a small piece left over from building Luke Price's "Creation" strat, and it was just long enough for this little short scale guitar...

Congratulations Michael, it seems really interesting!
Aren't the Korina's supposed to have black headstocks instead of matching ones? A personal preference I suppose...
I have an Epiphone replica of the 1958 Flying V korina, that's a really nice guitar for the price and one of my (small) collection's favourite. Don't know if they're really made of korina though

Ziricote is very nice to play, and sounds great too. Also looks nice. Very smooth feeling, and a nice grain to it. Overall, a fantastic wood. I'll have to keep an eye on this, its quite similar to an idea i had a while back for a shamray...

честно говоря, не знаю, зачем так измываться над эксплором... би-си-ричеквский куда ни шло, но это.. хотя о вкусах не спорят...

У Майкла в руках побывало гитар 200 или 300. Ему нравится экспериментировать, тем более есть такая возможность И вообще речь идет о маленькой "походной" гитаре.

The cool thing about this guitar is that it is based on a blue print. Adds a lot of style - like building a star wars x-wing that was never released or something ... hmm I think I should add a phrase like: don't take this too serious ... michael walker rocks!

Интерес проснулся. Я знаю, что голова грифа в среднем как правило прогнута на 15 градусов. Как это делается я тоже ознакомился .. мне важно знатб, как уже конкретно из прямоугольной загнутой части гитары делается форма головы грифа?
Шамраю и всем окружающим, кто ответит, заранее спасибо.
PS - я тока недавно снова вернулся и еще не смог зайти в мастерскую по оводу SH-13. У меня осталась квитанция о предоплате в 20$.

In keeping with the "Orange" theme of this guitar, the fretboard inlays are Baltic Amber, and the side dot markers are (faceted) Mexican Fire Opal

Nice colour and if I know Michael right it´s not completely opaque so the Korina shines through.

Тема: Re: CS 0061 - Shamray Custom Shop "Korina-Futura" for Michael Walker (Moscow, Russia)
Not this time! (Maybe i will order a 'natural' Korina guitar later...)
This guitar is going to be metallic "Hot Rod Orange" when its done - its all about the SPARKLE
The only concessions i made to mother nature were the Ziricote fretboard, the Baltic Amber dot inlays, and the Mexican Fire Opal side dots...
