Members Grant Harding Posted December 1, 2014 Members Share Posted December 1, 2014 I think you should also get a video of your client playing it and stick it on youTube with a link. Nothing like seeing it in the intended habitat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Les Paul Lover Posted December 1, 2014 Members Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thank you for the thread FK. Just read it from the beginning in the last 3 or 4 days when I had some spare time and thouroughly enjoyed it. Fascinating to see it being built and the resulting guitar looks phenomenal!I appreciate that you enjoy doing the tread thing, but it still is a fair bit of extra work and time spent doing it for you - but I really enjoyed that. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted December 1, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thank you, LPL. I assume that you've found the thread about building the LP - they just made a sticky out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted December 2, 2014 Members Share Posted December 2, 2014 Oh, my. that is simply lovely. Most of us couldn't do a build like that in several lifetimes, me included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Buttcrust Posted December 2, 2014 Members Share Posted December 2, 2014 I want an "iced tea" one, with multi-colored eye ball fret markers, and double eyes at the 12th fret...that would suit me just fine. Maybe a Venetian -style cutaway, and not a Florentine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Preacher Posted December 2, 2014 Members Share Posted December 2, 2014 Wow, spectacular! Did you make the pickguard and TR cover also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted December 2, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 2, 2014 Wow, spectacular! Did you make the pickguard and TR cover also? Yeah, ebony with the little skulls (sorry) and more cream binding. Believe it or not Jesse masked them and shot black lacquer to match the headstock but you can still tell that they are wood. I'm working on some sound clips but it will probably not be until the weekend. Not having any idea how it would sound I'm very pleasantly surprised. It has a clear bright cutting sound - lots of fundamentals and very nicely balanced. It actually sounds like a (duh) archtop - it would be right at home playing those unpronounceable jazz chords with all the 7ths and 9ths and minor stuff. And to keep it slightly on topic for an Electric forum, I did plug it in (remember that I put a K&K soundboard pup in it) and it sounds really good thru my old tube amp except for a tendency towards feedback (again, duh). Since I've got all the jigs and stuff made I'll probably have to make one for myself. Thanks for all the nice comments and for the encouragement during the process.
