Prostheta Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Wow - bad luck Pete. That's pretty harsh to hear you know? I can't help this....didya clock da clatty bastirts? Seriously though - it's a real shame you're not making it into a 12. I do love that cherry burst however! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteBuchan Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Cheers for the kind words. I'd like to keep it as a 12 string, and infact it will probably always be known as 'the 12 string' but I'm afraid it has to be converted. I've just routed out one of my old 'test rig' guitars for some seymour duncan p90s i bought but didn't have anything to test them on. They sound awesome and i think would be perfect for a 12 string which is why I think I'll convert my plans to make a p90 hollow tele into a p90 hollow tele 12 string.... We'll see... At my building rate, I'll probably never get this thing finished but I've got my router at work so should be able to get some progress made soon!

Blackdog Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Somehow I had missed this thread... Lovely work with the laminates !! And the hell-body transition is fantastic, do you mind if I get some inspiration out of it for my next one ?? Get it finished, it's going to be beautiful !!

EKO Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Really sad to hear that I can't wait to see it revived. Personally I think the natural is beautiful and works really well. Stupid question- might the neck be a bit wide if you make it a six string? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteBuchan Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Blackdog, take as much insperation from it as you want. Afterall, I took my insperation for it from various other guitars I've seen including some I've seen on here On to the width issue, it won't be too wide for 6 string as the 12 string nut I was going to use is cut into a standard sized blank so it was going to be a narrow necked 12 string.

Denis Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Pete. I missed this thread too - only just caught up with it. I can't imagine seeing it wrecked like that. It would have broken my heart. I just adored it as a natural finish. I have just started a mahogany body/flame maple tele and was dithering about whether to stain the maple or not. You have made up my mind for me - natural wins. Thanks Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPboco Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I would go with the natural with black burst The Cherry is beautiful but i still find the black edges and transition of colours overrules it... Great work Connor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
