Just got a new whip from Gus Caicedo at purewhips.com . It's an 8 foot, 12 plait cowhide Indy style. Nice work and tightly plaited. Cracks beautifuly. I'm very pleased. Just got it today and already is breaking in nicely. Gus made this whip fast. Very nice guy to deal with. Here are some pics.

Nice looking whip you received. It should darken to a very Indy color in time too.

good lookin' whip... Also nice tele... is it vintage?

What a nice whip

Thanks. It's a '67 Fender Telecaster.

it looks like the wrist loop is more finely braided these days. I'm seriously considering getting a whip from purewhips. I've never owned a whip before and think that $160 for a cowhide indy is a good start. I can't justify buying a Morgan when I have yet to learn the art.

What do you guys think?

That was exactly my logic in going with Gus' whip. I went from pictures on his website and low and behold...a real nice whip came in the mail.

I would like to get a nice kangaroo whip eventually though. When my addiction has reached critical mass I'm sure I'll pony up for a high end whip.

Nice creamy color too!

Beautiful whip! More pics of you using it and with some other gear or something!

GC,

I think getting a whip from Gus is a good option. I got a whip from him last year. It is a wood handled 5 footer in roohide. I think it is one of his first roo whips. It isn't Indy style, but it is a nice whip. It's great for target work. You need to get yourself a whip and start cracking. Once you start, it is addictive.

Cheers.

Hey guys thanks for all the great comments, they are all really appreciated.
