killemall8 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 it isnt perfectly quartered, but it is close. it does look great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bygde Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 It's looking great! The carve on the body gives it a unique and interesting look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 thanks bydge. here are some pics of it put together. all i have to do is make a control cover. one thing i do regret is putting 2 pickups on this. with my picking technique(if you could call it that) calls for a big space inbetween pickups, because i pick really deep twards the body. but it still sounds and plays amazing.

Bygde Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Which pickups are you using? Obviously a Seymour Duncan in bridge, but which model is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngaa Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Looks great killemall! I still wanna see that red crackle finish one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inisheer Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Looks great! I think the walnut strip and the different woods showing in the neck joint look classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 yeah, that looks cool. we are really starting to see a defined style to your work - i really like how the shaping on the top flows from the horns into the rest of the body. it seems like a natural evolution of the carves we have seen you do before - which if i am honest, havnt always appealed to me one thing i would have done differently is gone for thinner fretwire near the high end - i tried this on the SG i am just finishing off which has 24 frets and it really helps things feel comfy up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Man43 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Lookin good! Still not partial to the carve, but this build is definitely a step up from ones in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
