Marina's Quilted Singlecut #0056

[Elizabeth]

Welcome Marina!!
Marina is Schroeder Guitars first female client and we are thrilled to have her. She also happens to be in Redding, so after her guitar gets underway, I think we will see her often.

Marina has spec'd a guitar that will feature this quilt top:

This top will really pops after it gets finish- a quick wipe with water brings out the figure so much, I can't wait to see it with stain and finish!

Sweet! That looks like a killer top.
What are the rest of the specs?

[Elizabeth]

Here are a few of the specs:

Quilted top
Honduran Mahogany body
Ebony fingerboard
Custom inlay on fingerboard (Celtic cross)


I will let Marina share the rest!

Nice! Looks like it's going to be a killer... No colour decided yet?

[BerkleeGuitarist]

I decided on lime green for color...as for the rest of the guitar, it will have a chambered body, and slimmer neck due to my hands haha. As for the inlay I have this awesome cross necklace that I might have Schroeder use as a idea for the cross around the twelfth fret.file:///Users/marinagerig/Desktop/cross.jpg

You need to upload the picture onto the web before you can display it online. Something like flickr photobucket etc.

This is the cross I had in mind.

Welcome aboard Marina! Lime green sounds cool.
I sure do look forward to having more input from the female brain on these here boards. Enjoy your build.

PS - Since you live in Redding, if you ever you go by the shop would you take some pics and post 'em? We all would be most indebted to you. I did a shop visit in Jan and the guys all loved the pics I got from a visitors perspective

[BerkleeGuitarist]

I will definitely take pics when I go into the shop....I probably will be in there some time soon to go over my inlay.

Awesome top & cross idea:)

Hey Marina, Came up with any ideas/thoughts for materials to use in creating your inlay? A computer rendering would be interesting.

[BerkleeGuitarist]

Well I'm not quite sure on the material...I definitely want it to stand out. They haven't really started the building process yet as far as I know, but when it comes time to discussing options with Elizabeth I'll let you guys know what I decide on.
