Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Wow tough month. All are quite worthy IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Aagh! I thought I'd dodged a bullet by not going up against Lex's beautiful bass, but I totally forgot about Drak's cursed Coco-V... Grrr! Nice piece Doug, you got my vote. I'll try and up some more images with finish on, hopefully this afternoon. I should also admit that the electrics are still unfinished, so I don't know whether I can still really run legitimately this month... *** Edit: Here's the latest pics.

MKGBass Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 I WANTED to vote for Setch's entry because I love his choice of woods for that guitar. But Drak's was finished and he did an awesome finish job, so he got my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Well, if you dont win setch, I will vote for ya next month...well, I was the first entry, so....nevermind. But the pics are much better than the first set you posted. So....I would have voted for you had I waited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Thanks all for the nice words I don't think any of this months contenders should be dissapointed at loosing to Drak's V - it's a great piece, from conception to flawless exectution, I think we were all destined to be also rans. I will be finishing my project up and resubmitting next month, see y'all then ....aaaaw crap, then I'll be up against Lex's bass.... I'm doomed...

Curtis P Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 i will have mine up for next month for sure!! if everytihng goes right.... but, since i have a soft spot for V's, i had to vote for draks, specially same kind i am building... Good luck to everyone Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 So...setch... How bout them specs... PS: Did you borrow my construction design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanKirk Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 If you enter that one next month setch it will be tough for anyone to beat it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Luthier Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 WOW Setch! That thing is SWEEEEEEET! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 So...setch... How bout them specs... Neck: Laminated mahogany/padauk/mahogany set neck, w. scarfed jointed headstock, and EI Rosewood fretboard and headstock overlay. Abalone dot inlays and Martin style U-channel trussrod. Body: Two piece chambered mahogany body, capped front and back with flame maple and mahogany/padauk/mahogany respectively. Mahogany back is 1/4 inch thick and maple top is a little under 1/2 inch. Double bound with tortoiseshell/cream celluloid binding. Hardware: Stew Mac golden age humbuckers, w. overwound bridge. Volume w.pull pot to cut to singlecoil mode. Pan pot to fade between bridge and neck, no tone control or toggle switch, handturned padauk knobs w.black detailing top and bottom. Chunky chrome stringthrough bridge w.chrome ferrules at rear. PS: Did you borrow my construction design? Nope - mine is actually setneck, not neckthrough. The padauk stripe is just a cosmetic detail, the back cap was added after a cockup patching a routing tear out. Originally it had a plain mahogany body, with only top binding, and a halfinch roundover on the back. I wasn't happy with the patch I used to hide the tearout, so I ended up sawing off the entire mahogany section of the treble side horn, patching in a new horn from the blank offcut, and then gluing on a new back to hide the joint. The back binding concealed the added back. It set me back about 2 months, but I wasn't happy with previous patch, so it was worth it! I think Drak's prefectionism might be catching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Setch... I really like your guitar.... I love set necks and carved tops... very nice work, I love the bindings too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Why I asked. Not that it matters to me. I came up with it, but anyone can use it. The purpleheart stripe is all the way thru. The mahogany is set in ala 59 LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Nice. Great minds think alike I guess, though I'm sure neither of us is the first to do it. I'm slowly learning that almost every idea I get has been done somewhere by someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Who cares tho? The sustain is the best. If I unconsciously "borrowed" the design....it still rockd! Great minds thiunk alike for sure. Are you a cat person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Drak got my vote. All guitars entered look like great craftmanship, but they don't look as special as Drak's Coco Bolo V. How does the Coco Bolo sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 wow drak,you are unbeatable!you deserve it ... setch,do enter when you finish because i really love carved tops such as yours...by the way i see no similarities between yours and litchfield's....other than the same basic number of laminates...

Spider-Skot Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 I had to give my vote to Steve's purple/red PRS style. That's one beautiful guitar. The V looks very nice too, but I've always preferred painted guitars over natural woodgrain. Oh, and thanks for the vote, Rob I'll be back.
