Muzz Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hey the forum is getting SWAMPed with ASH guitars, BOOM BOOM. This one looks fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Any close ups of the inlays? From what I can see I like the design of the inlay. Any ideas on finished color on this? As a general rule, most builds don't get a ton of comments until it is finished up. Usually if you are not getting comments people like it enough not to rip on it, but there's nothing special to make it stand above the rest. An ash Superstrat usually falls into that.

ScottR Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 The inlays are cool. Is there a theme being depicted? Phases of the moon? SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trubl Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) nah... just alternating positions... nothing too taxing on the brain it's finished if anyone is wondering what the back of the neck looks like...

trubl Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Fan#%$&*!~tastic I love everything about it, now go shred on that thing as brian adams once said... "played it til my fingers bled"... I haven't played 3+ hours in a day in about 14 years... my left hand hates me right now. the more i play it, the more I want to play it. The tung oil finished neck feels like i'm playing silk. there's zero drag. the only drag is i can never find a buyer for these things... but that's okay... the longer i keep them the longer i can play them the pickups are pretty much as unbalanced as you can get... the single coil is 5.7k dcr with 42awg heavy formvar wire, alnico 5 magnets and the bridge pickup is a 14.6k, 43awg poly wire, alnico 8 with a push/pull split... in single coil mode, the pickup jangles nicely and has similar output to the single but in humbucker mode it's eardrum shattering loud and has a wiked midrange "chug" sound. I may toy with different magnets to see which one i like best in it... I just wanted to build something with a tremolo, a single coil and with a tung oil finish to partner up with the other guitars i've been making which have all been fixed bridge, dual humbuckers... all in all i'm quite pleased with this guitar... hopefully i can find an interested buyer for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
