  1. Yea, bloodwood's red is something dreadful... as if the slab would trying to warn you he's a dangerous guy.
  2. I really love guitars, but all I can say that extremely high prices for some good looking piece of wood an metal is nothing but ridiculous.
  3. A quite interesting writing here.
  4. Since you don't rout out all the body but only the two side wings of it, the central, unrouted line of wood will keep up all that stiffness you need for good sustain. Also, sound holes may bring lower the resonance of the body, but that's only a shade of effect. Sound chambers already bring resonance lower, which is highly recommended due to the thick and stiff maple, that would sound very bright and pale without resonance-lowering sound chambers.
  5. I say it again: that's something wonderful, man. Hope you're gonna find a pickup that really fits to the bridge if Barden isn't quite well. Keep that good work goin'!
  6. Is it twangy like a real Tele in the bridge position? Also, is it wired like a standard Strat or something else?... I'm curious.
  7. LOL! So here we go: SG thinline?
  8. What about making a thinline out of it? You could rout two large sound chambers into the body wood, leaving only the central section there untouched, then you'd close it with the maple either carved or leaving it flat. With a binding it would really look beautiful.
  9. Jehle said he wants tobacco burst, not tobacco fade, so I think this is it. Yellow, brown, black IMHO.
  10. Built-in tuner connected to your ears rules!
  11. White walnut would be okay with maple top, in sound and look either, but black walnut could be way too bright sounding, if topped with maple...
  12. Then choose another one. Listen sound samples if avail, and you'll be there.
  13. You may check that at Duncan's site: http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/produ...ratsdescr.shtml Lipstick is the 3rd from below. They got a real retro sound with all that quack you need in a strato. It also have a good punch in the low range.
  14. A lipstick will do the job.
  15. Just upload it to a free site, like www.angelfire.com, or tripod, or something similar from that 'build your own website for free' bunch. I am really eager to listen the results.
  16. Rickenbackers are maple also, but if you rout some sound chambers, you can get fuller sound from maple.

    LOL, isn't that an Ovation there, Paul? j/k Pretty electro-acoustic sound. And I like your songs and playing!
  18. ES 125 Looks like this? Awesome sexy Baby she is...
  19. Simple, functional, I bet it plays like a dream... cool and professional. What else needed?
