Defiled Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Oh yeah, that hardware would fit right into that guitar. Definately something to save up for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 As best I recall, that hardware by itself is something like $250 isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drak Posted June 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Yup SC, well, the entire setup is $250.00, I think he'll sell me just the bridge for less, but the strap alone is $90. ...And I've got 2 gorgeous guitars that have been done since last fall both waiting on Floyds, so..... little Blanco might have to sit out the game for a year or so if I actually decided to outfit the little bugger with those kinds of treats...

erikbojerik Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I'm not sure I dig that hardware together with the burl; too many patterns, sort of like wearing spots & stripes together. Go RW board, no fret markers. Go turquoise with caps on the dome knobs. I think the steer cutout needs to be filled with black epoxy and etched, with red LED eyes, and some way to make smoke come out of the nostrils.

Dragyn Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Possibly fill the steer head with Turquiose Tru-stone and turquiose topped knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 i like the turquoise topped knobs idea, but i don;t think that you should fill in the steer head with anything. If you wanted to do something i would put the switch for the pickups there, but nothing more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdjr74 Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hey Drak, It's beautiful!!!!! I have one question, how much does the body itself weight, just out of curiousity? Thanks, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 It started out VERY heavy, too heavy really, at 7lbs+ when cut to raw Tele shape, but it's now down to 5 or 5.5, very nice now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotrock Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 I think you might have to brand your logo on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 Excellent piece of work in progress I love the turquoise idea as well but what about maybe a little silver inlay for highlights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
