Neil. Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 even the tuners look awesome. One of your best builds so far hb?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 in terms of design im loving this one best at the minute. the finish is far from being good. hence why this one will be staying with me even tho i dont play anymore. james' has been my best overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 it looks fantastic to me, i like the checking on the finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 its looks best on the back. typical. on the front it didnt really take in too many places and you have to look for it. on the sides it almost all disappeared. i'll do it again in a few weeks it should take better then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 leave it out in the sun, if the sun ever bloody comes out again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 leave it out in the sun, if the sun ever bloody comes out again! Lucky you. it's been over 100 °F in the past few days with only some rain last night. can't even go swimming it's so nasty out there. Looks nice as always, how's the sound? I've got the brown sugar in my ash bodied tele and it's nice. Also, how do you find the quality of the neck for being priced like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 What does F mean? does it have something to do with all the cars having the steering wheels on the wrong side and everything being measured in some random fractions thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how do you find the quality of the neck for being priced like that? yeah brown sugars nice. and what do you mean quality of the neck? its the same as my other necks. its figured rock maple. it was only that cheap cos it was from a wood yard where they just price by the board foot not by how pretty the wood is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does F mean? does it have something to do with all the cars having the steering wheels on the wrong side and everything being measured in some random fractions thing? i dunno lol but that guitar's finish..it's my new favourite colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 ohhh ok then, so it's really just from a different source then? yeah. i normally get neck wood from a specialist guitar wood place so its always going to be more expensive. but if you take the time to look through a wood yard you'll find as good pieces for a fraction of the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 cool, that bridge actually looks pretty nice...the question is, what wood for the back. have you figured out how to do the entire guitar in photoshop yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 hehe no. i could do the front, and i could do the back. as separate things. not sure how to go about getting a complete view so you can see the whole lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam511 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 hehe no. i could do the front, and i could do the back. as separate things. not sure how to go about getting a complete view so you can see the whole lot I dont think you can There may be programs however where you can upload the front, sidem end elevations etc and it might create it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
