andyt Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 looking good as usual Amdy - curious tho' - is that another LP I see in the back-shot? was this the "template"? Ha, no had some templates & half way thru building remembered I had that LP copy in a cupboard somewhere. It was a £80 kit guitar and my 1st ever 'build' Drilled the control holes, its time for some colour dyed with a golden oak colour, then sanded this back Then covered the whole thing in amber stain and tried to burst in the golden oak again couldn't resist a mockup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I would go as far as to saying that this is near as damnit my "dream" burst. A little more of the marginally green-gold "faded honeyburst" tone and the fine dark edge and it's cracked. This is good as any of the MyLesPaul forum's "repro" threads. Talking of which....are you going for the sensible modern components in the cavity or going all-in with the OCD mojo junk? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 cheers all, No OCD mojo, just bought a cheap wiring harness from axerus, because it came with all the bits, knobs, jack, switch etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwcarl Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The stain and finish looks amazing. Very clean work all around. If I'm being really picky I'd say that the top join is a bit too obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 It's beautiful Andy. You said you were going to compare the sound of this chambered guitar to the solid PRSish one. How did that come out? SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I bet if you posted this build on the MLP forums you would get all kinds of love. Then you could drop the bomb about the cheapy harness and watch faces turn green. If you GOTM this one, you have my vote. After I receive it by courier of course.
