The Natural Wonder is Finished!

I finished making "The Natural Wonder" this week, the guitar featured in some of my previous articles.
I'm very proud of it, and its owner Eric Weingrad of the Pittsburg band TheCause will be picking it up this week.

Here's how I describe it on my website:

This guitar glows with the natural beauty of the wood. Figured maple and mahogany join together to create an organic yet striking form. The figured grain cascades like a waterfall over the thick maple's curved edge.
Its warm, full background tone is tipped with clear bright highs. Custom made Lindy Fralin high-output humbuckers and locking Sperzel tuning machines. Volume and blend pots, 3-way switch and mini phase switch complete the electronics. Dial up the blend pot in phase mode to create a richer, thicker phase tone than traditionally possible. The figured maple pickup mounting rings add a sophisticated sculptural touch.

Absolutely beautiful work.

Hey Scott - this truly is a beautiful piece of kit. I could only ever dream of owning my own hand made guitar! I also enjoyed looking through your website.

You'll all be pleased to know that this guitar sounds more luscious every time I play it! Scott MacDonald is simply THE MAN. This guitar screams and is so full of tone (and so MANY of them!). Every show, people come up and comment on its beauty and its sound.

Thanks again (for the hundredth time - and it won't be the last!)

Eric

Wow, that is purty, purty, purty. Love the wood.
