Here are pictures of prototypes
which Pat Bubian has built for me.

3pc. Birdseye Maple Necks, Satine Headstock overlays.

Ebony Fingerboards, Mother of Pearl Dots, Maple Binding.

A chambered Mahogony body, with Satine Vaneer on the edge.

Fishman Transducer Bridges & Pre-amps.
Wrap it up with a stain sheen bees wax finish.

I joyfully anticipate this project's completion sometime Late May 2002.

-----------------------------------

It was completed shortly after May, It was shipped to me in November,

FINALLY here is a picture of me, in heaven, playing it at a party on New Years Eve 2002-2003

Happy as a Pig in Shit.

This is a six string which we put together in 1992.
The headstock was snapped off (by a rough roommate)
shortly after I arrived at Berklee College in Boston.
The new neck was set in 98, and I now use it daily.
I've put it through hell, paint has been chipped off,
its been left in cold bars and basements all winter,
and in muggy summer night air every year;
and it has remained very stable throughout all my abuse.
The body is Flamed Birch, the Neck is Birdseye Maple
the Fingerboard is also Birdseye Maple,
the Binding and Dots are both Coco Bolo.
the Floating Trem is a Kahler Spyder with Auto-Latch.
the finish is more emerald then the olive it seems here.

-------------------------------------------------------

This one is a solid body electric 12 string.
These images don't do it justice, the finish is
Burgundy over Black. It also has been mistreated
since it first arrived here in 1990.
The neck is extremely thin because I was
an Ibanez fanatic at the time it was Built.
Neck and Body are both Mahogony, and the
Fingerboard is triple bound Coco Bolo.
It has been really useful for everything
from Led Zepplin Cover Gigs, to this
