Neil. Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 that could be the name i was looking for what are the atlas' like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 dunno havent used them yet. i would imagine they'd be pretty similar to the tri-sonics. a nice creamy vintage like sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 i see... yeah i'm trying to decide on the pickup for my build in september (it's only going to be 1 pickup at the bridge)... I'm torn between a bare knuckle nailbomb or a q-tuner Super High Z ((See here) They're both high output. The BN is 16k, and the Q-Tuner is 16.5k. Somehow, i'm leaning towards the q-tuner. Partially for something different, partly cos they just look so animal, and partly, cos the sound is just so damn clear on them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian27 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I really don't know about pickups and things (maybe transits and toyotas!) other than things you guys mention, but again that timber really is the business. Seriously tasty stuff!!!! What a joy when you can pick up something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 its definately going to be natural finish. looks great with the ebony and the black face headstock. fretboards not glued on yet, or radiused, still waiting for the truss rod. front and back have been carved apart from the neck heel area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 i decided to add an inlay after the frets were in. not ideal but o well. went ok. this will be my standard 12th fret inlay that will be on all my guitars (apart from maybe the decos) unless someone doesnt want it there obviously. this ones in ivory, which smells not unlike a certain bodily fluid when cutting. so now you know still needs a bit of scraping and sanding but its not bad considering the frets were there when i did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
