Boggs Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Some magnificent instruments already posted here... I promised I'd get mine in this month, so here it is. It's a RockBeach CB-II solid body... the prototype. I incorporated more traditional features such as belly cut and relief cuts to attempt to please a traditional eye. They are functional as well. This body is VERY light making it overall the most comfortable and well balanced horned guitar I have ever built. I used a 6-position / 2-pole rotary switch for pickup selection which is shallower for this shallow body and also gives you the usual Strat pickup combinations with the additional neck+bridge setting which I have found extremely useful! Pickups are GFS NeoVin Fat Vintage noiseless singles and they are just sparkly clean with the perfect overdrive punch... I am really impressed with these pickups. The main body is Kelela and the pickup and control mounting panels are Dalmatian wood. Beautiful marbling. Having separate control and pickup plates makes for easier servicing for either the pickups or the controls. Far fewer screws to remove to service either. I left the main body stressed looking with the clear lacquer finish. It just seemed to have a unique driftwood look but with mineral marbled throughout. The neck is a 25.5" scale with Kingwood fingerboard and stainless steel frets. The tone palate of this guitar is spectacular and coupled with its comfort, it is now my personal player. I have enough wood to make another just like it. I will for future shorten the upper horn by 3/4" and the lower horn 3/8 inch as well as move the neck/pickup/bridge complex to the left by 3/4" mainly so it will fit a standard case. Here are the pics. Here's a sound clip... Intonation had yet to be set as my tuner was at church. I just set it to a guestimate pre-set... As it turned out, only the G and B strings were a little off as it was a pretty good guess. I was still playing with pickup spacing. The bridge pickup was much higher in output by itself, so I normalized the track for near equal levels. It was plugged into my V-Amp2 set on "tube preamp custom clean" with gain at about 9:00, flat setting, a bit of reverb. Pickups you hear are in the following order: Bridge only; Bridge + Middle; Middle only; Middle + Neck; Neck only; Neck + Bridge. Strings are DR Strings Tite-fit 10-46. With the pickup height reset, output levels became nicely matched. This is before though as I said... http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Cam..._Sound_Clip.mp3 Edited June 5, 2009 by Boggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
