Harvester Baritone NR Firebird has arrived... but it's awful

[F15hface]

If it’s a baritone N/R Firebird that’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

yes

Harvester?

also yes

Oh now that will be very nice... It feels like I haven't seen a harvester in ages, but I remember seeing them when I joined here and thinking they were some of the coolest guitars I'd ever seen. Looking forward to watching this become a whole guitar.

I also remember his early builds, including his first ever customer order. I've been a fan ever since and I was very excited when he liked the idea of the guitar I wanted him to build.
I have more pics, but that can wait for tomorrow.

Im a big fan of Harvester. Congratulations on your new guitar

Since we've guessed the brand, might as well reveal the headstock.

[garyptaszek]

not the final pickguard design but the just is there. Sawn-off 3 saddle tele bridge incase you're wondering what the bridge is gonna be.

Sweet. Also a big fan of Harvester. I remember when he was just starting out and how he would always post here.

Good times!
That LP Junior with the gym flooring top was one of his first build threads here, was it? That was already so cool!

Just looked this up, wow that was an awesome build. I thought about doing something like that for a desk I'm building

I was going to post that exact same thing! Thats still one of my favourite guitars I've ever seen, it was so cool

[garyptaszek]

yeah I've been a big fan of his work since then, and it made making decisions very difficult with this guitar. We still haven't really decided on a colour etc yet

Candle smoke finish! Candle smoke finish!!

Candle smoke finish! Candle smoke finish!!

I have no idea what that is

[countertext]

You’ve seen his guitars with candled finishes and just didn’t know what they were called.

oh cool, yeah I wondered what that finish was. We're currently undecided between pastel or metallic paint. But I kinda like the idea of off white... or maybe sparkle. Clearly I don't have a clue.

Pickguard layout update.
Thoughts?
There won't be a middle pickup, that was a leftover from the original spec (3x P90s), but we've since decided to go with a pair of Thunderbird shaped WRHB pickups from Lance Amplification. I told him not to bother with the tone control as I never use it, so it's been removed in the last pic.
The bridge is just for show, it's gonna be a cut-off tele bridge with Gotoh "In-tune" saddles.




Now just need to decide on a colour...
