guitar_ed Posted May 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Howdy All, The Black Walnut Strat is finally done. Sounds good me. The Tele is still getting its nut shaped. That is one that I can not do. If you want to see more pix or the whole story, go Here and click Black Walnut Guitar.

skibum5545 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Mmm... gotta love that black walnut! What does it do for the tone? I also love the look of that ash. Did you do any grain filling or can you still feel the grain on it? Those must be amazing to play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanKirk Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 And they are only 40 minutes away from my home. Only 15 minutes away from me Tommy's a cool guy and has given me some useful advice on my first project. Their customer service is just above and beyond anyone else. Now that USACG has a new site I don't think they have customer pics up, last time I checked, so maybe you could submit yours to Tommy. That's a cool pair of guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitar_ed Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hi Guys, Thanks for the comments. SkiBum: Yes I did fill the grain, but you can still feel it a bit. There are two things I have problems with. Filling the grain and making the nut. But I am getting better. As for the tone, the walnut is thin enough that it does not seem to have any impact on tone. The tone on the Tele is really clean, and the Strat is quite nice too. I am just trying to get to get used to them. Guitar Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
