Jehle Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Before we get to the pictures, here's the link to the page that details the build. Every little mistake along the way is on there too. Beware, tons of pictures if you're on dialup. Jehle's Jellycaster #3 Webpage Soak all that in and I can give more details later. BTW, she plays like a dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullmuzzler Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Looks very nice. Is that your custom shape? mullmuzzler | OSSMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Fantastic. The colour scheme is very tasteful, the body shape is unique, without being clunky, and the whole thing hangs together beautifully. One of the nicest I've seen on here for quite a while. I'm using that same bridge on my current guitar, so I'm also very impressed by how straight you got the ferrules! Again... fantastic.

tsl602000 Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 very very nice..... However, there's one thing I have to get off my chest..... I don't like the shape of the treble side horn... it looks so out of harmony with the rest of the guitar. But she's really really pretty.. congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Thanks everyone. Hearing all that makes it all worth it. i like the all black pickup, and the switching idea Thanks. The bridge is a Dimarzio X2N and the neck is a DiMarzio PAF Pro. I intentionally went for a simple color scheme on the guitar. I admit, I had my doubts about the all black pickups at first. Now, I can't imagine it any other way. nice work. where can i get a: some wood like that or b: that finish (the poly stuff you were talking about)? The Nigerian Satinwood veneer was from an ebay auction. The seller was Old World Veneers, and have since disappeared. At least last time I looked. The finish is just Minwax Polyurethane from Home Depot. No stain was used on the wood. The Polyurethane is an oil based product, and is known to have an amber tint to it. To me it looks like a vintage tint. At 2 to 3 bucks a can, it a poor boys vintage. very very nice..... However, there's one thing I have to get off my chest..... I don't like the shape of the treble side horn... it looks so out of harmony with the rest of the guitar. ---------------- The colour scheme is very tasteful, the body shape is unique, without being clunky, and the whole thing hangs together beautifully. One of the nicest I've seen on here for quite a while.

The body shape is copied from the Telecaster project, with the addition of the strat like upper horn. I actually traced around 2 or 3 guitars to refine the shape to get it to where I thought it worked. It's a refinement of a shape that I like, so yeah it's a step towards my custom shape. I can understand the fact that the two horns aren't really all that alike. Even I looked at it a few times and had sencond thoughts. But, in it's defence, it's very comfortable to play. The upper horn lets it hang nicely from the strap, and the lower horn is cut back to a minimum to allow for maximum fret access but allow me to still sit and play with it. It's also humorous to note that the lower horn is traced from an Ibanez bass guitar! I have a recording project in mind for it next. I'll try to get all the sounds from it that I can. There's about 18 different pickup combinations on it (including off). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehle Posted October 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Looks awesome Jehle. I actually really like the body shape. Looks like a whole bunch of traditional designs blended together. Thanks! I was aiming for that Strat/Tele/LesPaul/Axis shape. A little bit of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
