Members dot-dot-dot Posted May 9, 2006 Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 It is a Nathan Sheppard ( www.nathansheppardguitars.com ) Singlecut - not yet on the website, but looks like THIS, shapewise. Specs are: Body = Alder Neck = Wild Maple and Walnut 5-ply Figerboard = Cocobola Fingerboard Binding = Brazilian Rosewood (invisible against the Cocobola) Frets: Medium/tall stainless steel Earvana compensated nut Inlay = MOP dots, 5th, 12th, 17th fret between the E and A strings Pickups = BareKnuckle/NS Knuckledusters Finish = Metalic blue/teal with a matching headstock Tuners = Gotoh 510 locking Controls = Volume, No-Load tone, 3-way pickup switch and 4-way rotary controlling the humbucker splits Bridge = Wilkinson with Tremsetter Should be done in September. The pickups are effectively two Tele neck pickups (one RWRP) built together as a humbucker, and two Tele bridge pickups (again, one RWRP) built together as a humbucker.

Members manus Posted May 9, 2006 Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 Awesome. Nice colour. I want to win the competion in guitarist for one of his other shapes. I think I'd go gold top or white. For some reason, I want a white guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dot-dot-dot Posted May 9, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 Insist on having it solid white over burl redwood. Nathan is miffed enough already that I'm having a solid finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Nico de Roode Posted May 12, 2006 Members Share Posted May 12, 2006 I like this idea of using two singlecoils making a humbucker. In stead of the humbucker with split coils. Probably the same. I have a godin radiator that sounds real nice withe the 2 singles together. I'm thinking about adding a single just next to the bridgepickup. A telebridgePU has a large plate underneath. Is your pickup built as one pickup with one large plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your pickup built as one pickup with one large plate? I honestly don't know. The builder says it's built like two tele pickups wodged together, which would imply that each has its own plate, but I'm not really sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
