    Primer Grey Primer / Base Coat; Body Cuts Dipped
  2. Breandan
    Been working on a strat kit this year. Technically two, as my FIL is doing one also. Typical S/S/S with tremolo. Plan is to bypass the tone knob and a couple tweaks with the wiring and pup cavities. It came with the tummy cut. I added a knee cut on the lower bout and widened the upper to match. Rattle can grey primer/base coat. Dipped in PacNorWest colors of Pacific Blue, Lime Green and Silver enamel. Blue did not take well on the front: 90% of it sank. Will dry for probably a week and then sand and coat. ... I've tried several time but URL, links, and click-and-drag won't work to attach the pics.

    Elec - Turner Model1 LB-P featherweight or PRS Custom 22 Acou - Breedlove C25/CRe-H or Ibanez Talman

    Thanks David. The electronics and hardware are plug and play but I was happy I actually get to do some soldering because the job done on the jack was junk. Will see how the pups last after I plug 'er in.

    Wife surprised me with a strat-style kit from Rockler. Thanks to my FIL engraving and printing biz I hope it won't be recognizable when I'm done. It may be cheating but gotta start somewhere!

    Looks nice, Wes. Really like the birds eye top

    Shad based on great look & innovation

    That would be one of the overall problems diluting society: do it wrong enough for long enough and no one will care anymore.

    Some nice purpleheart

    PSW- that very much along the lines of what I had in my head. Vid sounded great.

    I think the most overlooked would be Takamine. A large portion of country artists use them and they have good looks and are versatile plugged in.

    Thanks a ton David. I wasn't thinking thinking of an onboard simulator- just wiring it up with a standard 5 position selector and alternate between electric acoustic and electric. I merely mentioned the simulator for comparison: my apologies for any confusion.

    Turner is a lot of the "inspiration" for this... Why not free up instruments and pedals? Guitar with one (or two) parallel wired humbuckers or pafs and a Fishmann style acoustic pup.

    Looks great so far. Keep it coming!

    Digitech makes an acoustic emulator pedal for use with an electric... why not bring it onboard? Any thoughts on if a electric/acoustic (acoustic and electric pups) is feasible?

    Very nice! Red and black is a nice mod; prefer cedar over mahogany?

    Marty Schwartz has dozens of vids in several genres on youtube.

    redhead = Everly Electric Rockers 10-46 Hard to Find

    I would say Breedlove b/c they look great and are made in the Pac. Northwest-- Although I have an Ibanez AE that's great.

    EB regular or power slinky and Redhead Rocker 10s

    Mark Tremonti is crazy good at sweeps and has an instructional DVD out. Probably find the lessons on youtube.

    I've seen that some makers use a figured veneer to cap their guitars: Other than price is there a significant advantage to doing so rather than, say, a AAA flame maple top?

    Very interesting conversation. I think Tim37 has the easiest answer. Change a head stock, horn, hardware... something to make it distinguishable, and don't use anyone else's name. I've seen Gibson sue several independent luthiers right into early retirement, and I've also seen large scale makers (Ed Roman) get off for making an admitted knock off when Turner stopped sending him product.

    Great info. Thanks everyone. Will definitely look into all those. Hope to stay true to the Model 1 with a neck only PU
