Sully guitars Raven bolt on Prototype

[sully]

Hey all,

Here's some shots of what I did today. If any of you watch my videos, the most recent neck build videos yielded this neck. I've been working on a bolt on prototype of what I'm calling a Raven. Alder body, Maple neck, Ebony board, Stainless Steel frets, blah, blah, Floyd, blah, blah, Plum Crazy paint, blah, blah, one Duncan humbucker. It's very much a prototype, but here's where it is now:











Now it's time for this!

Looks awesome man! The neck looks fantastic.
Can't wait to see it done

Looks great sully

Beautiful!! The frets and binding are a work of art. True craftsmanship my friend.

That looks stunning Sully! The contoured heel looks sleek as fuck and that headstock design is killer. Looks like the binding goes over the fret ends, am i correct?

[sully]

Yep, binding over frets. Thanks for the kind words and support, all!

Looks great Sully. I think Jameson started making his alcoholic drink because of doing binding over frets!!!

Man! Sometimes I check in on your vids and every time I do, I am amazed of your work and your fresh approach to things. Unknown to you, you actually made me accept and now love the Firebird body shape. You rock, sully, and so does that shot of the neck and the fretwork - which I think shows a little too optimistic string height

:rofl: Sorry, had to do it. (Disney show).


Regardless, looks phenomenal, especially with the pickup configuration, and not to mention that badass headstock!

What pickup are you going to put in? For some reason I'm thinking JB?

When sully is involved, I have one guess: Duncan Custom

[Gartron]

Very very nice, that fretboard looks amazing!

When sully is involved, I have one guess: Duncan Custom

Ha! Amen...

Nice job, Sully!

[sully]

Binding over frets definitely requires a drink after it's finished!

Thanks Henrik; it's definitely a shape that can grow on you! I assure you, the action in the picture really is how it's set. No buzzing.

I love the "that's so Raven" pic. Too funny!

Oh and yes, it'll have either a black Custom Alternative 8, zebra Custom 5, or my pal, the mighty custom!
