hypothetical question here michael: If i wanted my 'guitar' inlay logo redone, what kind of costs and time would i be looking at. The A in guitar is far too big, it breaks the 'line' along the logo set by the 'u' 'i' & 'r' in Guitar. I think i can live with the logo being as it is, but i would like to atleast ask to see what i could do about it before i recieve it. :) thanks alot man..

Pics of the painted version to come, soon!

@ phil

perhaps a stupid question, but why did you want the horn to be
shaved away? or at least be scarved.

how do you call that stuff...well, you know what i mean ( i hope)

"scraping part" is referring to "scraping the binding"... VERY CAREFULLY cleaning the binding with a scraper after the color coats.


No extra charge for changing the headstock logo... if you really dont like it, i will send it back for re-work. (will only add an extra week or so)

Its done by hand you know- our artist is not a machine, she is an actual human being who really does all of our headstock logos by hand, and although she can certainly copy anything 'letter-perfect', sometimes she does take 'liberties'  if her muse moves her.

Apparently it happens that she favours a larger "a" instead of the design that you submitted (for what reason, i really dont know - i certainly didnt suggest it, i just gave her your original sketch...)

well the inlay itself before the guitar went to the paint shop, i liked it, i was happy with it and then when it went to the paint shop, the 'A' (and some other letters) became thinner and therefore i noticed the tallness of the 'A' moreso. How does this happen, do they hand paint the spaces between the logo?

If you notice lucians (cs-0074) inlay, the 'A' and the rest of the lower case letters are all the same height etc. Being an artistic person myself, i know what i want and i respect this lady to do wonderful inlays etc, but i just cant help wanting it as exact as possible.

It would be lovely if i could have it done again, im sorry to put her through it once more, everything else on the logo is fine basically, bar that 'A', so if she can replicate the 'A' as done here - http://www.musicforums.ru/sh_int/getfile.php/shamraymusicforumsru_shamraygallery/5797/CS-0074_0576.jpg
(*with height, shape and thickness*)

I would be very appriciative! Infact the closer she gets to that whole logo there, the better :)

Also, whilst we are gonna redo the logo anyhow... the bottom of the 'T' (the little connecting peice) goes down a little bit past the 'line' the rest of the bottoms of the lowercase letters create. If that could be inline with the others i would greatly appriciate the time she takes and thank her endlessly.

Thanks alot michael, sorry for the delay but its very important to me. ;)

Nimrod, i wanted the cut away to be larger because i saw a picture of a BC Rich Warlock with a heavy cut away on the horn at the back and i have big hands, so the least wood in that area the better i guess.

Plus ive never seen another les paul-esque on earth with this type of extra carving. So i like the unique-ness of it.

okayy, i see.

i know what you mean, when you say that your hand hits the
horn when you play (at least, thats what I can make out of your
story) I have that, with es335 guitars. or similar guitars.

if i want a semi-hollow electrical guitar, i'd have shamray build
me a semihollow les paul (like the Florentine). nevertheless; I
agree with you on the headstock-logo-size part.

a " smaller" A would be more beautiful, and more in line with the
guitar...i think....

this guitar really rocks dude. its great-looking. and indeed; VERY
unique. dont know any les paul quite like it.

Here is the latest from the shop, sanded for last layers. Michael, in this picture, are the inside of the pickup routes not painted fully? If not, may i have them just blacked out please, as with no pickup bezels i imagine you will be able to see bits and peices of unpainted wood in there.

here it is, 3rd and very probably final revision of the headstock logo! Excellent. Plus the black is bubbly but will be smoothed out with the laquoring. :) So everything will be nice and smooth.

Phil what a black beauty this girl will be.  I saw PETER FRAMPTON in 1977 play both a cutom LP and a three pickup version custom.  With this not being a sanwich body it will sustain for days.  CAN'T wait to see finale:):)

hey michael, i noticed in the POOK-BURST thread that the information on back of the headstock was wrong and its being re-done. Seeming that my shamray logo too was the wrong, i was WONDERING if its possible to get the white old style shamray logo. Let us know what you think.

Also the way my CS-0071 is on my headstock, is that like scratched in? Whats the go with that? :)

Take it easy mate.

hi Phil! according to my current shipping schedule, your guitar is estimated to ship exactly on its DUE DATE (Dec 9th).

(Its currently 20th in line, so that date is subject to change.)

If we received your balance tommorrow, it would be bumped up to 7th place on the shipping list... but it could be bumped down by any "more overdue" guitars that sent their balance in.

Our shipping priority is determined as follows:

1) is the guitar actually ready to ship?

2) Primary criteria for establishing shipping order is the estimated delivery date we gave at the start of the project (check your workorder)

3) is the guitar already paid in full? (guitars paid in full get 'bumped up', since we arent waiting on funds to pay for shipping)

So, the 'top of the list' consists of all the guitars that are already paid in full, ordered in priority sequence correlating to their original due dates ("most overdue" ships first!). After that, all guitars are listed in sequence according to the original workorder completion estimate.
