More updates, really taking shape now. The neck isn't shaped yet, I want a similar profile to my favourite neck profile (Warmoth Boat Neck).

I’m not sure to be honest. I said told Anthony to just use all Aussie timber. I’ll ask him tho

He’s somehow managed to unintentionally match one of my other guitars… which is fine with me!

I think it’s pretty close to finished, I can’t wait to see it all together.

Cool stuff.

I've got two Harvesters. I have a Reverse Firebird build with a Mastery vibrato and bridge, and a behind the bridge pickup; and one of the Antonio Series (http://www.harvesterguitars.com/complet ... io-series/). He has a good eye for design, and does some very interesting stuff.

I think maybe he took pics down of this Reverse Firebird style one he did for me, not sure if it's limiting exposure to Gibson, or well, something else. Anyway, good honest guy to deal with. I hope he's doing well.

I like what you're doing here. I miss Harvester, he was a cool dude when he posted on here. Some amazing guitars
I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

Dude, did you make that guard or just buy it??
I’d probably keep my NRFB guard if I could find something like that!!

It's part of the whole build so it's a custom piece. It's a baritone so it likely wouldn't work with a standard NR Firebird.
I like the way it's turned out, looking forward to seeing it with the pickups.
