just about to be shipped

*tears of joy*

These pics needed to be on the next page.
Fuck.

I'm super stoked that you are going to own this amazing guitar.
It's so gorgeous.

I will definitely be posting a long-ass review here when i get it and have a little while to get accustomed. Don't have a video camera unless an iPhone counts but i'll like record some decent audio demos and put them on soundcloud going through the different sounds and how it plays with pedals etc

I just randomly thought up the specs for this in the space of about 5 minutes and 10 months later everything is still perfect, i can not think of a single change i would make to it as it is, i get to play a show in 2 weeks just before i go overseas so i can't wait to put it to the test.

Dude, is that show going to be in Sydney? Let me know where and when and I'll come and stare at that guitar all night. I'll also listen to the set

yeah man, 8pm saturday November 1st @ Goodgod small club if you wanna come hang out, same goes for you Tom!

That is an absolutely gorgeous guitar! I've been planning that my next guitar would probably be a Bilt, but I'm thinking maybe a Harvester instead! Not that it's going to happen anytime soon.

Yes, please! More! More! I definitely see a Serie Antonio in my future. It'd be un-Australian not to support a local builder.
I was in a giant shed full of vintage Italian guitars in Lavagna (near Genoa) earlier this year and didn't know where to look or what to pick up first:

Like a lot of Italian collectors, Alberto (who runs the store from his home) preferred American guitars - he said Italian guitars were beautiful to look at and hang on walls, but not so good to play. But what you're doing seems like it's beautiful to look at AND play. Really inspirational stuff

Hell yeah! No promises, but I'll try and head down dig the new ep by the way! Can't wait to hear what you come up with with this under your fingers

Bilt makes some sexy stuff, esp the Zaftig. That said, if I were in the market for another guitar today Harvester would be my choice hands down. So many possibilities with custom options/styles plus the aluminum neck options he offers. Geez, I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I'll try to get there, too. Really like Goodgod as a venue

Yeah, so I just couldn't stand it anymore and put a deposit on Harvester #42. I blame Anthony, backwardsvoyager, this thread and anybody who's ever really loved a guitar the way that only a guitar can be loved.
Three or four weeks away, but here she is:



Neck will be aluminium/paduak hybrid, 25" scale, 12" radius, 42mm at the nut to about 54mm at the end - pretty much Anthony's 'standard' hybrid neck. Bridge will be a Mastery M1 as opposed to the M5 (Ricky) to get 52mm spacing instead of 50mm.
There are a few options on the pickups (including Novak 'Narrow Range' P90s and mini-hums) but I've decided to go with the pups you see in the picture, which are Sentell MH03s, basically single coil pups in a mini-humbucker slot, Alnico 5 at the bridge and Alnico 2 at the neck. They're kind of Jazzmaster/P90-ish (Anthony's description). More details here: http://www.sentellpickups.net/mini-humbucker.html
I'll post pics and updates when I can.

Sentell pickups rule. That guitar's gonna rule. Really stoked for you dude.

Happy to hear that about Sentell pups. I didn't know much about them but I think they're the ones Anthony had in mind all along and he seems to know what he's doing, so…

[Chankgeez]

I think that's an understatement.

[greyscales]

Thank you for pointing out Sentell Pickups. They are doing some shit that I am very into.

And that Harvester is gorgeous already. Those fretboard dots are huge and awesome.

I think that's an understatement.

Yes. Yes, it is. The thumbs-up was the closest I could get to an understatement emoticon.
