verhoevenc Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I can honestly say that this is one classy piece of instrument that I would love to play and hang on my wall. You have truly outdone yourself this time Avenger. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Natural Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Its really cool to look back and see the builds you were doing 3 or 4 years ago- and now the ones you are cranking out. Your skills have come a long way and your builds are getting better and better. Great job man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPA or death Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Got to be my favorite of your builds. Very nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Beautiful work, the vine F hole is one of my fave features on this guitar, but the plate, bridge, vibby bar and pups all combine to give a great look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Beautiful work there Jon. This is definitely one of, if not your best yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Do you remember who on eBay you got those pickups from? Prices? He usually carry that stuff, or was this a one time sale by the guy? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuffinPunch Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) Really amazing work Jon! I am truly impressed. My one gripe about this instrument is that you spent all this time choosing wood and hardware that compliment each other perfectly, you take the care to design and cut this fantastic vine pattern F hole, and wire up some serious electronics; you create this overall gorgeous instrument then you go and string it up like a cheap Strat copy some 14 year-old kid plays in his punk rock band. What is up with those strings man? Aside from that easily resolved little detail, I love it! Edited July 4, 2010 by MuffinPunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 verhoevenc - The old Tiesco pups are nearly always a one-time sale. They usually come in around $25/pup. MuffinPunch - It's not 100% done yet. The intonation isn't set and the strap buttons aren't on. Believe me - they do get cut off. Trimming the ends of the strings is my little sign to myself that I'm completely done with it. I do that last because there have been numerous times when I'll need to shim the neck or adjust something under the strings, and I usually can't identify that need until I've played it for a bit. If I trim the strings too early, I might not be able to get them back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill wait to see it "completely done" then! Edited July 4, 2010 by MuffinPunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
