Members Elias Graves Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 I got behind posting the build pics, as the new software doesn't play well with my iPad but Great Dane has agreed to post up my pics. Specs: Body: 2" thick walnut, 100\% chambered inside. Top: 1/4" walnut. Neck: 24.5" scale, walnut with Honduran rosewood board. Electronics: Duncan SM-3 firebird pickup, split. (The toggle switch is for the yet to be installed bridge pickup) Finish: White lacquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreatDane Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 I will convert these to embedded image when I'm home from work (unless someone beats me to it). Congratulations on completing the build, EG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted May 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 If you can tell me how to make the photobucket work with an iPad, I'd be in your debt, sir. Yes, it's a hollowbody with a solid flat top. Looks like this inside, thought there is a small block under the bridge. http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z352/ElijahGardener/E7C84F0A-9D02-4669-B569-A4011021654A-7528-00000B9268E14B80.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 Looks good. Congratulations on the new build. The sides appear to be fairly thick; is it particularly heavy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted May 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 The total thickness is 2 1/4" but since its hollow, the weight is ok. 7 pounds, 11 ounces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted May 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 Very nice!Believe it or not, I appreciate the minimalist approach to guitar design (love my telecaster for that reason, among others).Where'd you find those very cool knobs? They look like they may have come from an old console radio. I'm a minimalist for sure. Give me plain and well made any day.Yes, the knobs are off a 1930s Trutone radio that belonged to Mrs G's grandmother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted May 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 pretty cool...needs an F hole or two I haven't decided on those yet. I'm considering putting at least one in but I haven't got a good design yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gardo Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 Well done E.G. In reference to your earlier build thread,I would say life begins when you play that first chord and the music begins to flow.Is it alive yet? If so I would love to hear it.

I use photobucket on the ipad. Only to view pics I take with my phone. I don't know of a way to use it to post a pic in the forum. Actually, maybe if you use the html editor to post the pics. That is probably too much of a hassle for me on a device that doesn't have a keyboard. Anyway. The guitar looks sweet. I was kind of disappointed when you decided to paint it. However, the contrast of the wood on the fingerboard and bridge with the white looks classy. Any plan for a bridge pickup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
