And yes, there is progress. Take a look at these beauties. To quote our dear Michael: "its looking REALLY NICE" Master Dudnik has really outdone himself on the inlay in my opinion. Holy smoking MOP Inlay Batman!! |

It is a very nice inlay. It is almost "dragon-esque"; I like that. HOWEVER, don't let that distract you from all the beautiful wood this guitar is made of! It is turning out very nice Q, congrats. | |

Q.A.Nguyen
|
My thoughts exactly, I looooove the wood texture and grain. The guitar has exceeded my expectations in every which way as well as the service from Shamray Inc. They really build the guitars of your dreams, checking every detail with the customer. Props to e-ve-ry-body. According to Michael, the guitar should be ready for shipping within the 3rd or 4th week of october (ballpark). | |

I'm glad you are liking the outcome:) It's so special to see something you draw out on paper, discuss with Michael, decide what specs to adapt, turning out to this awesome piece of art. I'm very impressed and the result so far has, as I said before, exceeded my wildest expectations. | |

Q.A.Nguyen
|
Awesome news, Michael has just updated me on the status and told me the guitar is almost finished and ready for playtesting on MONDAY!!! And depending on how fast the laser dudes (for my inscription) are Shamray expects the guitar shipped no later than October 17th, this is awesome news. I'm so excited about hearing what michael has to say about the feel and sound of the guitar. :d |

I'm asking myself the same question, let me post it in the forum Shame there aren't going to be any WIP's displayed there. The Ebony Arrow would look awesome there. I enjoy watching the progress a lot, like a sculpture being hacked out and fine-tuned into a real piece of art!

I'm pretty sure it will be on display. It has to hang for a couple of days anyway (to let the neck settle in under string tension before we do the final setup) so it might as well hang where several thousand people can appreciate it. BTW, the audience for the show is kept back about a meter (behind a rail) so nobody can actually touch any of the guitars on display. We do have a few "player" guitars on hand if someone wants to try one, but all the 'show' guitars are off-limits to the public... If i get a chance to visit the show (tommorrow or Sunday, maybe) then I will take some pics of this year's booth |

Q.A.Nguyen
|
Michael, I was wondering if there are any guidelines concerning care and cleaning of the guitar? I don't know if oil and waxing requires special care of some kind or the usual dust-off and cleaning will do. Since this one is such a beauty I was planning on keeping her that way

Basically, its just dusting off for the most part. Over time, the polish will need renewing, and its best done by rubbing in a little "Warwick wax" (AKA 'Warwick Surface Finisher') every month or two (BTW, its really just pure beeswax!) see http://www.warwickbass.com/misc/wax.html After a few YEARS, you might want to clean and refresh the whole finish by applying a commercial "Oil/Wax" finish. Any brand which is a blend of Tung Oil, boiled Linseed oil, and Beeswax will work fine! This takes about a day to do (sploshing on, wiping, rubbing in) and is quite a messy job By the way, be sure you wash your hands before playing or handling the instrument!! An oil finish is much more subsceptible to getting DIRTY, and if your instrument gets played a lot with grubby hands, in a few years you might find you need to lightly SAND it (with 500 grit paper) to get all the dirt out! (and after that, apply the oil/wax finish again...) |
