andyt Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hi, long time no build, had a hankering for one of the new evh cheap striped series recently, but thought why not build one, with a few twists mainly because a had a manky schaller floyd sitting around. Reverse headstock, of course sapelle body - had some lying around Quarter sawn board on the flame neck Neck fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Start trem route and single hum back route with jem style angled jack quick mockup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyt Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 oh yeh, I forgot it's a 24 fret so I thought I would experiment, glued in the neck then roughed out some heal shaping and couldn't resist a quick string up So the plan is to stripe the body & maybe relic it before clearing it I was playing around with the neck and made it a soft V to C as I'd never played one, but not sure I like it, so might shave it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygtr Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Nice heal, looks comfy. Any idea of its weight? I have a lot of sapelle and thought that without weigh relief it would be too heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I made almost the exact same thing last year,but with mahogany for the body and a multilam neck.The one pickup I found to be nice,but I miss not having a neck pup even though I rarely use it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyt Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 tape off more relicing and another mockup I'm still tempted to clear it, think its kind of perverse to put a thick shiny coat on something so wrecked might dirty the neck or just truoil it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliemc Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I put a light coat of clear over my relic/replicas. nothing heavy. just a single light coat to help protect it a little. I would do that neck a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Funny how I never noticed this build of yours, Andy! Great work as always and I hope people see and respect that, rather than complaining that it is not a perfect replica because of this or that detail. What's your opinion on the Mo Joe?

Cheers, Mo Joe sounds good in this, better that the one I've got in a real JS I think. Its a full sounding pickup, but still pretty balanced & pick harmonics just scream out.

Prostheta Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I've debated for ages about what would be a good choice as the only humbucker in a Frankie. Thought a PAF, an SD Custom Custom or the '78 Custom if the price isn't too stupid on top of the marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
