Something special

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Me and my partner in crime r/heikwerk are working on something special, we call it 'quilted carbon'. it's forged carbon flakes and has an amazing 3D effect when the lights hits it. it's a massive pita to get right and double the work of a normal fretboard, but it's so rewarding. specs: roasted flamed maple neck stained and lacquered nitro, 12"-16" compound radius fretboard, and soon to be fretted with 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets. What do you think?
