davros Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Well, I sanded back and polished up the back, and it looked fantastic, then when carrying it inside, discovered a thumbprint and some of the grain had lifted under the paint (even using white spirit)...so, I decided I would assemble it completely (first time), so i could play it, then after a few months of very careful handling, when the finish is completely hard, i'll polish the whole thing up. So, here it is pic 1 pic 2 Although i haven't shielded the cavities yet (not until its been polished), it sounds amazing, the kent armstrong pickups are great, and the series/split/parallel switching produces loads of really versatile and usable tones. Next going to get the nut cut properly and frets filed (mighty mite neck) at Sheehans in Leicester (anyone who lives near, i would highly recommend them, i've had all my guitars set up there to perfection) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 You've picked 3 of my least favorite guitars of all time to build a guitar after, yet somehow the way you've combined the 3 of them you've created a very unique different design. I don't think I'd ever play one, but I like it, I think it looks better than the LP, strat, or Jag. Very cool evolution of 3 classic guitars into one. Congrats on a pretty cool idea!

american_jesus Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 that's very cool looking, i must say. never woulda imagined something like that, not in my wildest dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey69962000 Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 nice. I was going to make a fat strat with ibanez pickups and a gibson humbucker, but then decided to go for a LP guitar. Your guitar is very cool. The only part i dont like is the bulging part of the body where it sits on your lap but it looks very good. nice job.

Setch Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I really dig it. As other users have noted, the design incorporates several very different influences, but flows very naturally, and is completely fresh and new. You obviously have a great eye for design - Very cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litchfield Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I like it a bit. What I like most is you did what you wanted, without caring how others felt. It isnt the cat's pajamas for me, but you did it for you. I am impressed with how you brought in influences from everywhere ans made an inpressive guitar.

silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 That is an extremely nice looking guitar man, great color also, i love the way you incorporated 3 very different style guitars into one without screwing it up, good work! i see in one of the pictures in your album there is a 3-D version of the guitar, what did you use to make it 3D?
