CudBucket Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 That's sweet! Looks like a meaty neck! How much neck angle if any? Thanks. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digideus Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I love the colour! nice work. One thing tho? does the bridge and tail look too low on the body? its just the arm rest piece looks a bit high compared to some others. it may just be me... Not to take anything away from your accomplishment tho. Id be proud of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Got any inprogress pics of that thing. I like the color a lot. BLUE any day!!! Nice work, I'm not too fond of the heel, but it looks better than a Gibson, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AlexVDL Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Duff Beer Man, congrats for the great work you did on this guitar. Excellent craftmanship! Love the color too! But there is one thing I absolutely can't ignore... It's the angle of the neck compared to the body. The bridge is set too low to the lower horns. See My pic... I photoshopped your pic a bit. The lower one is yours, and the upper one is how it should have been in my eyes. But hey... thats my taste, and it doesnt have to be an exact copy ofcourse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyldbil Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 (edited) I see what they are pointing out about neck angle & all, BUT, that just makes your guitar UNIQUE! That's a good thing in my book. That is a super clean piece of work. I really dig the color. You should be proud. DAMN proud.

Maiden69 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Keen eyes Alex, I notice something but could figured it, and the color was soooo goood, that I didn't bother looking into it. Still like you mentioned it's a very nice clean job, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feylya Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Nice work but it looks like the neck and bridge should be pivoted at the neck joint. The way it is know makes it look like the neck is sticking up towards the sky, compared to a normal explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Beer Man Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Yeah, i see what your saying about the stuff being too low. lol, i wish i had a guitar to go off of. All i had was pics that i could find. Oh well, the tailpiece fits perfect for a rest for my hand so it worked out good in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
