Members Freeman Keller Posted January 6, 2015 Members Share Posted January 6, 2015 A new router, some bits and a hunk of mahogany. I'm going to build a tele-clone out of some salvaged barn wood and I want to order an Ampmaker kit as soon as they are back from the holiday. In the mean time I'm going to run down to the music store today and buy a little cheapie amp (probably the Blackstar ID) to get by. Not too exciting....

Members Crownman Posted January 6, 2015 Members Share Posted January 6, 2015 It wasnt really planned, but a nice Carvin DC125 popped up on the used wall at the GC next to my house. Put some cash down to hold it. Just need to sell my chameleon and x15 controller to get the rest of the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billybilly Posted January 6, 2015 Members Share Posted January 6, 2015 Solid wood Rosewood/Spruce dread with a big f'ing neck and plenty of string spacing on both the nut and saddle. Currently doing research to see if anything like that exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarjack93 Posted January 7, 2015 Members Share Posted January 7, 2015 Man, I love Gretsch axes. If I wasn't such a PRS fan I'd probably get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarjack93 Posted January 7, 2015 Members Share Posted January 7, 2015 Probably getting a Paul Reed Smith, just gotta save up for a few more months. Those axes aren't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrgkmc - cool man, bringing life back to some vintage gear Freeman - right on man, make sure to post pics of the build Carvin 125 - like this one? Yeah, it's like that one. It's Alder body, flamed maple neck, floyd, ebony board, stainless frets, reverse pointy headstock, Tobacco Burst, with the rounded body edges. And the previous owner swapped the Carvin pickup out for a Screamin' Demon. It's practically mint and plays like butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out that with a single-pickup guitar I spend more time actually playing guitar instead of fiddling around with flippy switches and twistyknobs. I'm still working on adopting that mindset when playing other guitars with various tonal options "Just turn all the knobs up, put the pickup selector in 2nd gear and call it good".

Members Buttcrust Posted January 8, 2015 Members Share Posted January 8, 2015 My friends and family will have me committed to a psychiatric hospital if I buy any more guitars.....unless I sell a few. So, that's what I need to figure out. Which guitars do I get rid of so I can buy something new? or one of these Never owned a Gretsch. I obtained something a bit similar a while ago, I dig the cat eye sound escape openings, different. and, to me it sounds OK, actually, really OK. what's not to like...

I can help you with the first one if you aren't fixed on the Bigsby. 6118 in mint condition, will make you a good deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted January 8, 2015 Members Share Posted January 8, 2015 I've got a gazillion guitars so there are really only two I'm still lusting for before I shut down my GAS once and for all: a Gretsch 6136SS (Stephen Stills White Falcon), and a Dudenbostel dreadnought. The former merely requires money; the latter...well, first you've got to find one for sale, then you need a LOT of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billybilly Posted January 11, 2015 Members Share Posted January 11, 2015 "big" as in wide, deep, fat or all of the above? budget? 1.75 nut width, 2.25 saddle, .90 to ..99 neck thickness approx with a C or D profile, no soft V's, like some shoulder. I played a Larrivee L03R the other day and it was close. I guess I'd spend $1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a Larrivee L03R the other day and it was close. I guess I'd spend $1500. The Seagull Artist Studio CW I mentioned has a 1.8" nut, no idea what the saddle measures. It's in your price range: http://www.amazon.com/Seagull-Artist.../dp/B003C80SEK. The Taylor 410 has a 1.75" nut and back and sides of ovangkol, which is tonally similar to rosewood: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/410G. It's a bit over your price range though so you'd need to find a used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
