marksound Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I bought 2, before the news hit the headlines. Quote Link to comment
WezV Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 i got 3 of them as well- one for me, one for my dear old pa and one for my cousin/sprayer since he did the finish on the august guitar Quote Link to comment
Jehle Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Wow, I never saw this post before. I ordered 5. 1 for me, 1 for mom (can't forget mom now, can I), and the other 3 will be some propaganda to sell guitars with. Quote Link to comment
Jon Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I just have to figure out what picture I'm going to tape over that ugly guitar in the April section, yuck! Hah! Your build is one of the most creative takes on solid body building I've seen this year. Quote Link to comment

Your build is one of the most creative takes on solid body building I've seen this year. That really means a lot, jon. Thank you! I don't know how much I'll get done this year, but maybe I can take that award home again. I've been dreaming up my next build for the last few months, not having enough ideas to get myself motivated to build, but I'm starting to piece the details together and I'm really getting antsy now. Right now I'm leaning towards an ash body and maple carved top, with black grainfiller and transparent white finish. White perloid binding on the body with one stripe of thin black purfling on the top and side of the pearloid. Rosewood neck with ebony fretboard and binding, with an inlay similar to the one on the guitar in the calendar, except using only thin white purfling, no inlaid hunks of wood. 6 strings (do I build anything else? oh yeah, a 12 once upon a time!) with a trem (not sure which yet, but it will be a strat variation) that I'm going to modify so that you can dive and pull up with it, but never worry about it going out of tune. My design is quite a bit simpler than that trem king thing; I was sort of dissappointed at their approach to that. Anyhow, sustainer, p90, and humbucker, with piezos in the bridge. The two pickups wound by mua. The p90 having standard 10k winds of wire with an AlNiCo 5, and the humbucker slightly overwould with a ceramic magnet. Simple controls on the top of the guitar, probably just vol and pickup selector, with a kill button by the neck and the rest of the controls recessed on the side of the guitar. Those will probably include magnetic and piezo pickup tones, a blend knob that controls the mix of the p90 and humbucker when the 3-way switch is in the middle, a piezo/magnetic blend knob, and the sustainer controls. I'll be using my tank top body style, like usual. nickel hardware, w/ white pickups Anyhow, I ramble; you can tell I'm excited about it though. peace, russ Edited December 14, 2007 by thegarehanman Quote Link to comment
