Jehle Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I'm impressed for 2 reasons. It looks great for a first build, and a purple heart fretboard! Nice work man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounty Hunter Posted June 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Thanks for the kind words ya'll. I am on dial-up, so I tend to keep pix small for those of us in that boat. I'll try to get the camera and post some more eventually. It isn't 100% complete, but what is left is mostly simple stuff (cavity covers, mounting ring for the p-up etc. ). I experimented with position markers, but decided against any. As for the body shape, someone here (Drak maybe?) made the comment once that they didn't build unless it was something that 'rocked their world'. I have an American Strat, an RGT42FM, and an old Yamaha strat-like, so I figured why not a v. It seems that people either love the shape or hate it. One thing about it, thanks to the curve, you can actually play this one sitting down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
