Quarter Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Its been a while since I've posted one of my steels and thought I'd share this one with you, a sweet 6 string in black walnut and quilt maple. The pickup is a custom A4 mag BG Bucker from http://www.bg-pups.com/ and a nice match for walnut. Bryan winds some great pickups and is definitely worth checking out! Some basic specs 25" scale Black walnut and quilt maple Figured walnut bridge and control covers Grover tuners BG-Pups A4 mag BG bucker Fret and position markers are Mother of Pearl with aluminum bezel surounds Bone nut Tru Oil finish And some pics .

Mr_Buttman Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 It looks like Cadillac, awesome work! P.S. I think the jack plate(or it's position) doesn't fit this guitar . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarter Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Thanks, I was very happy how it came out. On the jack, at least functionally speaking, you want it away from the player. If installed on the bottom end it gets in the way for resting it up against an amp or sitting it in a stand / rack etc. As far as looks, I've done a couple in wood, but they are a pain in the butt, maybe an Tele electro socket. Below is one I made for an 8 string. Second pic shos the caul and laminate. . Edited June 24, 2009 by Quarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 The action is way too high. How will you ever be able to fret it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
