back:http://i1.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/dd/02/27_3.JPG

im thinking of using a maple bolt in neck with an ebony fretboard. schaller locking tuners

prs mccarty pickups, and tailpiece and bridge like one would find on an archtop.

what do u think any suggestions are welcomed.

[Mr Alex]

First Save some money and get some duncan pickups(if prs pickups still cost as much as I think they do)

And also, those "f holes" are rude.

i love the mccarty pickups and i got a good deal on them. whats wrong with the fholes

[Mr Alex]

If YOU like em thats all that matters, and that you got a good deal is good too. But the f holes are just rude, you should have gone with a traditional f shape, especially if you're gonna use a bridge and tailpiece. It would just look nicer IMHO.

whats wrong with the fholes

They're not shaped like a traditional f-hole and they look, ...well, I won't use any adjectives, let's just say I don't care for them.

But if you do, everything's good. Everything else looks A-OK.

[ZoSo_Spencer]

Hmmmm...... those f-holes i dont mind them keeping things different..

instead of bolt on you should go with a set neck, bolt on is just so ugly and completing a good set-neck would probobally be more statisfying

Inlays - split parralellograms - they look soooo good on just about any guitar even the old archtops

tuners - grover imperials - just so high class looking and they are pretty presise

pickups - Jon moore - read the harmony central reviews he hasnt had anything less than a 10 and they are cheap (his set prolly costs as much as one prs mccartny pickup) and he handwinds them to you're specs

he can only be contacted by email - rhonjon@sympatico.ca - i think thats it

anyways thats my opinion

good luck with the guitar

I don't think they are f-holes so much as f-canyons. When you get the hardware on there and start covering up wood, they are going to look REALLY big. I don't think they are an eyesore so much as they are just dispaportional to the rest of the body. Just my thoughts though.

I know... the bottom part of those F holes are downright back-ass-wards.

[possum1284]

they guy who made the body did the fholes backwards on purpose doesnt really bother me. i didnt notice they were that large the fholes as some of you pointed out. Will that have a negetavive effect on how the guitar sounds?

thanks

and they're not f-shaped, but sort of c-shaped. But I think it's good work so far. Keep us updated!

The F-holes aren't too bad, but they are damn big.
