Brian Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 There is a new guitar in the gallery :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 That looks very nice, and although I'm not a fan of the shape that much, I must give full points to the builder for using purple heart!!!!! I used some for the backstrip in my acoustic I built for Chrissy, and that was the crappiest wood I've ever used!!!!!!!! I have NEVER used a harder wood, so my hat is off you to sir, very nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 That's what I've heard about Purple Heart, that it's tougher than most saw blades. I've often wondered about using it for bridge or nut material because of that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKG Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 I think it looks great! But, I have heard that PurpleHeart loses it's color.....How about under a finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 Over time purple heart, even under a finish goes almost black. The purple heart strip I put in Chrissy's acoustic last Christmas isn't the bright purple it used to be anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Nickelson Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Nice! However, I think the pickguard covers too much of the beauty... Try a clear pickguard or none at all. Gabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerealk Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Looks great, and Gabe is right-it doesnt need the pickguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
