Vince D Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 This is the frist guitar i have built and I was very pleased with the outcome. Ash body http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l27/Vince_D/CIMG0354.jpg The neck is Tiger maple with a cocobolo stripe in the middle, brazilian cherry on the sides of the headstock,and a blood wood fingerboard. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l27/Vince_D/CIMG0355.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l27/Vince_D/CIMG0356.jpg I think is sounds great although is propally the heavest guitar I have ever picked up. I had to make the body with 7/4 stock because of the floyd rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inisheer Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Not my personal choice for colors, but it looks like a high quality guitar. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Love the colour, not so sure about the headstock. The body could have been smaller to reduce weight, looks slightly wide to me. The first few guitars i built were quite oversized and with some unsuitable wood choices made very heavy guitars. Sounded great, but not overly comfortable!!

erik17 Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I like the colour and how it works with gold hardware. Though the headstock looks mabye a bit too massive due to the rather big cutoutie thingie, it looks good otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yeah, I'm all for the color scheme too. Mad upps, I think is the phrase? Or something? Moving on... Congrats on the build! A bit more adventurous than mine, I think, if only for the hardware. I rate Floyd's higher on the difficulty scale than TOM's \m/ -Xanthus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
