cheddatom Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 That looks nice.... I wish people would put up full pictures of guitars. It's not a guitar if the neck's snapped halfway up - and the headstock makes such a difference to the overall appearance of a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Stunning work yet again, I really wish I could afford one of those guitars. The only thing I'm not so keen on is the control layout. Flawless work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 its not a terribly good pic. shall take better full length ones later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Very nice. So is it neck through or all one peice? I',m struggling to see the joins. I love the grain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) its a neck through yeah. you can see the joins more on the back but the matchings good on the front. i got lucky with those two planks. the pickups sound really nice. in series mode its full and loud like a good warm humbucker and in parallel mode its very stratty with a bit more balls. then the phase switch makes for a very vintagey clean sound. i shall have fun for a while i think this is a better pic Edited May 26, 2009 by hooglebug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 im liking it. its got 24.5" scale so its really easy to bend. for some reason everytime iv done shorter scales before - even 25", its been too floppy for me, hence why my standard scale is 25.15", but this one doesnt. maybe its the bridge. who knows. the bridge is great too by the way. really responsive without being over sensitive, and return to pitch is perfect with the locking tuners. im loving it so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teej212 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 those are pretty snazzy tuners, what are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 gotoh magnum locking vintage style tuners that's good, i thought for a second they were those 'deluxe' (crap) ones that you find on gibsons guitar looks great though - it's making me more tempted!
