    Really grateful to get this lovely flamed Maple guitar, it's a Beatle Baritone.

    Here are the first pictures...

    Hey Gav,
    This is going to be a build I will watch with interest.
    Not many baritone guitars around at the best of times but to see one emerge will be fantastic.
    Love the headstock shape and the grain is sweet.

    Pest, I have some mini bass tuners and some mini guitar tuners to choose from. I have also obtained some ferrules/bushes to ensure a tight fit!
    Wokka, DB was completely out of Conch Girl. Something about limo's finding out about the colour being popular amongst the ladies. Have had to opt for saffron......

    Ok, so the beatle baritone is starting to take shape.....given it the second coat of paint, a mix of red and red mahogany(my own blend). The top is saffron from Wudtone.
