Hi all, just wanted to share with you the progress I'm making on my first real build.
Basically its a replacement for my Jem77BFP. The Jem has a lot of sentimental value so I dont want to be taking it to Pubs all the time....
I seriously considered an Iceman shape as I have always loved them, but the Jem/RG style won out in the end. (because its easier to play while bumming on the couch!)
So, without further ado, the concept:
Yeah, I know, another Jem/RG type thing......
And heres where i'm up to: Current Pic
I have set up a page to chronicle the progress here(so I dont take up Bandwidth here): Guitar Build Page
Note: The actual images behind the thumbnails are large.
I'll be making some updates in the next couple of days, so i'll post here and let you all know.
I think i'll have to divulge some specs, but i'm going to upload recordings of the tap tones of the wood, its something I found interesting so I'd like to share.
Sorry if the link on my site to the Strat Build is not allowed, I did look in the rules first, I will gladly remove it asap if its a prob.
My first thanks (and i've hardly started!) go to Guitarfrenzy for the Strat Build, Maiden69 for proving that Mahogany and Swamp Ash can go together!
In case you can't tell, i'm very excited to finally give something back to the community that has given so much (i think i'm gonna cry... )
later, Fraser
