nowa90 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Well, as some of you may have noticed is that I took quiet the internet break, and in the 2 weeks I've pumped up almsot two guitars, this is one of them. The other (superstrat) just needs the bridge posts and tuners drilled, which I'll do eventually. The camera was gone for most of the time, so I was only able to snap these pics now, and one with an iphone a bit back. SPECS Body Shape: Les Paul Double Cut Hardware Colour: Chrome Neck Construction: set Tuners: grover sta-tites, 18:1 Nut size/material: bone, 44mm String Spacing: 7mm #of frets: 22 Neck wood: wenge/padauk/wenge Fretboard: rosewood Scale: 24 3/4 Radius: 12 Headstock shape: wave Headstock Angle: 13 Bindings: n/a Inlay: pearloid dots, 4mm Finish: tung oil, gloss Body Wood: Spanish cedar, mahogany top Contours: arm, belly Bindings: n/a Bridge: TOM string thru, black ferrules Strap Buttons:chrome Finish: tung oil, poly - gloss Electronics Pickup Config: 1 Humbucker Bridge: GFS Dream 90 Pickgaurd: black plastic Switch: n/a Controls: 1 vol 1 tone Control Cavity Material: plastic Knobs: black speed Top wood (cut from same board) Before it got the logo, and bridge recessed Headstock Front Back Complete, with 2 oil coats on Enjoy! Total time was about 80 hours or so, without sanding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 no love? Actually, I do. I saw this a couple of days ago and got pulled away before I got a post up. I love the chevrons on the top. How do you like working the Spanish Cedar? I've just used it for the first time and found it softer thatn what I'm used to. It worked easily enough....I just kept having to fix little dents. I hope it sounds good. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowa90 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 thank you, they came out perfectly this time. Its fine for me, it smells a bit bitter and dents very easily, and was taking oil a bit weird at first, and its more brown then 'normal' mahogany, but I'll get used to it. It's defiantly has a nice tap tone and is light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestvic Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I always loved not filling the pores with grain filler. it always looks so bad ass and natural. I'm pretty sure im wrong but wouldnt this allow the guitar to age and breath also once the finish shrinks a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
