Mark Wein Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 My new McFeely 454 guitar came in this week....I have a 440 model that I've been playing for about a year and a half (the blue guitar below). This guitar is Korina body and neck with a rosewood fretboard, Gotoh bridge and tuners and Suhr DSV pickups. As complicated as I originally made the 440 when I ordered it this guitar I wanted to be simple and it turned out WAY better. I had my first gig with it yesterday and it sounded massive. The pickups can be split with push pull pots and the controls are volume, tone and bass contour. Instead of paint I wanted to try something different and I asked for an oil rubbed finish which turned out awesome. It isn't very resistant to scratches or dings so I guess I'll have a "relic" guitar pretty soon just through daily use but I'm cool with that.

Mark Wein Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 That thing is almost as sexy as your beard. I'm jealous of both! I accidently shaved it off last week. I forgot what a great thing it is to hide behind facial hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wankdeplank Posted June 16, 2014 Members Share Posted June 16, 2014 Visually I don't think it's quite as sexy as that 440, but I do dig the wood grain finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emory Posted June 16, 2014 Members Share Posted June 16, 2014 sweet. You could perhaps adapt one of those clear stick on pickguards acoustic guitars often have to save some of the finish..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
