ScottR Posted March 31 Author Report Share Posted March 31 The carve, transparency and angles of reflectance make this thing difficult to really tell what it actually looks like. SR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADFinlayson Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Almost looks like yellow is the main colour in from some angles, you've really captured the figure in that top, stunning mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, right? I did have to add some yellow to the green to pull back the blue tint it had, I didn't use any straight yellow in the dye of the wood or in the the tint. That is the wood showing through. My phone refuses to take an accurate picture. All it sees is browns and golds, with the faintest green and then black fade. Thanks for the figure comment. My main goal was to highly contrast the figure without killing the chatoyancy and end up with a green guitar. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAK Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 It’s all nice, of course, but really love that back wood, especially now that it’s under glass. Stunning stuff, mate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asdrael Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Shiinyyy. Looks great. I really like the front of course, but the back is the highlight for me, I really like how it turned out. I guess I have a soft spot for black limba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My backs usually all get the same treatment: darken the pores and subtle black burst after the carve. I guess after seeing the expected glamorous wood featured on the front, the classier rear is a pleasant surprise....I don't know.

Popular Post ScottR Posted April 7 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 7 On the home stretch. The frets and tuners are actually gold too, but they don't show off their colors in photos as well as these hunks of metal do. It just needs strings, a nut, pickup wiring, strap buttons, a setup, and a test drive. SR 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I'm sure this was covered early in the thread. Not that this has ever made anyone go back and look for the info. That's just not what we do. Why did you go for a P90 in the neck instead of a Tele neck pup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well John, had you gone back and looked, you'd have found all kinds of stuff but not the answer to that question. Yours is actually the first mention of pickups in here at all. The answer is my all time favorite guitar tone is the one made by a big ol' fat, warm, barkin' bitin' growling whisky voiced P-90 in the neck position.

avengers63 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I love me some P90s also. They live in a sweet spot between a HB and a SC - a little beef and a little twang. In fact, I recently bought a custom Chibson SG with 3 P90s. In the near future, I'll be getting a set of Lindy Fralins to put in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted April 15 Author Report Share Posted April 15 Camera battery died.....and the backup battery was even deader. More pics to come. It's done. It looks great (to me) and sounds awesome ..... sorry I don't have the ability to record and share. It's got two bridge single coils and an Oak Grigsby 4 way switch. I'm sure I have it wired to match the diagram, but not sure it is working exactly as it it should, I was in the same position the last time I tried one of these (Justin's Guitar) and that time I pulled it out and put in a standard tele three way. I always remember loving the way what I did get sounded before I changed it out. Same here. It sounds great regardless of whether it sounds like it's supposed to.

Andyjr1515 Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Gosh. That is utterly stupendous. And battery just about to die or not, those are lovely photos of the finished beauty. I love all of your builds, Scott - but this has to be my favourite so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

komodo Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 I can see that switch is parked in the smokin' gear. It's so organic, and once again has a surface you can dive into. Awesome stuff buddy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
