Mr Alex Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Alex Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 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.

Drak Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSo_Spencer Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8rofwyo Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 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. Nate Robinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAArthur Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 I know... the bottom part of those F holes are downright back-ass-wards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum1284 Posted September 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Churchyard Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 I don't think they are f-holes so much as f-canyons. ← and they're not f-shaped, but sort of c-shaped. But I think it's good work so far. Keep us updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argali Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 The F-holes aren't too bad, but they are damn big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
