Stewey Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Looks very nice well done. I like the carve, not too keen on all the switches though. Edited October 10, 2007 by Stewey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1234 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 You can switch every PU seriell,parallel or SC.When both PU are on you can get out of phase and seriell/parallel with the two ON/ON switches.That makes 42 Sounds.

bancika Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Shouldn't bass side of the bridge be offset a little, can you do the intonation correctly on low E string? Other than that, very nice, keep rocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, very nice, keep rocking Very impressed for a first build. Wow. Did you do everything yourself or did you buy some of the parts ready made? I have the same question as 'bancika' regarding the bridge angle and intonation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Nice Work! I 3rd the opinion that the bass side of the TOM bridge should be about 1/8" farther back. I can see that the 6th string saddle had to be backed all the way, you barely made it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1234 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) I do everything myself.The intonation is perfect no problems a guitarbuilder made the intonation and the guitar sounds great. best regards.

ihocky2 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Very nice work. What is the scale length of that guitar. It might be because the body is so large, but the neck looks rather short to me. Might be just because of the angle or something. You can get 42 sounds from the guitar with all of those switches, but can you esaily and quickly remember what sound you are using and how to get to the next one? Very cool though, once again nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1234 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 the scale is Gibson scale.The body isn´t bigger than my 70ties strat from Ibanez. It isn´t a problem to remember the sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
