Electric Guitars

[GilmourD]

OK, this is a tad overdue since I actually finished it last week. I just had to shim the nut

I am also completely terrible at taking pictures. Not that the quality of my photographs is poor... But I'm always so preoccupied with other things that I never even remember to pick up the camera. LOL

Well, here it is.

 

Body: AllParts, Candy Apple Orange

Neck: Mighty Mite, MM2902FCR, maple board, compound radius, Floyd nut shelf (R2)

Bridge: ORIGINAL Original Floyd Rose, thinner baseplate from early '80s, with a black d-Tuna

Pickguard: Warmoth three-ply white pearl, cut for Floyd and Fat Trembucker

Controls: CTS, 500K volume, 250K tones, and CRL 5-way

Tuners: Guitar Fetish Gotoh style with pearloid buttons

Pickups: GFS VEH in the bridge, DiMarzio Area '67s in the middle and neck

Looks great!  How does it play?  Are you happy with the setup at this point in time?

It plays pretty damn sweet. Probably has the lowest action out of all my guitars.

I like to think, sometimes, that I do have taste.

The surprising thing is that my wife actually thinks it's nice!

[humbuckerstrat]

That's a beauty, HNGD!

I kind of dig the metallic orange.  Not something I'd expect to like, but it looks cool on that guitar.  Nicely done!

Good for you.  I'd like to think I'm pretty good at setting up guitars but some just come together better than others, looks like that's the case for this one!

I think the compound radius helps.

[Flatspotter]

Awesome, love the color! HNGD!

[Floyd Rosenbomb]

Looks like a fun guitar! 

Nice work!
