Members GAS Man Posted December 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2011 I just found a demo of this guitar I bought. Mine still won't be here until at least next Tuesday. [video=youtube;2iHyY_-aXZ8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted December 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2011 Found three more vids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82eUKCFNF4M&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drm_CvPu0Ao&feature=related Very sexy guitar. Congrats. Thanks. It's interesting to me to hear how Tele-ish and "pink"-ey this guitar still sounds with HBs. Sounds like it will be cool with a bit of TS in front of it.

Members Alecto Posted December 9, 2011 Members Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'd love to see a thinline version of the Cab with two volume and tone controls. Hmm, that could be a fun build . . . aw crap! GAS strikes again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted December 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2011 First of all, I realized I mispelled the guitar's name in the original thread title Cabronita Of course you can't correct thread titles after you pass the fail safe time limit. But the guitar arrived yesterday! It was red tagged to store it at normal room temp for 24 hrs prior to opening. So after 19 hours or so I gave it a super quick peek to make sure it was in one piece and I got a big whiff of Gibson Nitro, but of course this is a Fender with Nitro. That's a first for me. The only other Fender I have with Nitro is the '52 RI and that was a floor model with all that sweet good smell long since dissipated. So I plugged it in briefly tonight and I simply started off plugged into my lowly desk top Roland 20X, and I gotta tell you, this guitar sounds AMAZING. So much vibe and resonance, I'm loving it. And yet the TV Jones have a bit of a busy edginess to them which doesn't characterize them, but just adds to the complexity of their tone. Get one while you can. I see Sweetwater still has one 2TSB left (the black ones are gone), but if you're inclined and can swing it, grab one of these from somewhere. It's definitely Custom Shop quality at standard deluxe production pricing. I'm in love. I've bought a lot of guitars and I haven't had one strike me quite as "you done good with this purchase" as much as this guitar does. Despite the chunky MAP, it still qualifies as a big bang for the buck guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted December 14, 2011 Members Share Posted December 14, 2011 nice! I'll stick with my cheap knockoff at 1/3 that price though... Cool, but not in the same league as the OP:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted December 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2011 Part of what I'm hearing on this guitar (now running it into a Mustang I) is a lot of a big bodied resonant bassy tone, especially from the A string. Cool trick to pull of from a slab bodied Tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted December 14, 2011 Members Share Posted December 14, 2011 I went a slightly different direction and I'm happy with the results. Still I think if the one that the OP bought would have been available a few months back, I would have jumped on it.Mine is Warmoth with a TV Jones Powertron Plus which I LOVE!. He's a ballsy little bastard who thinks he's an SG Jr. or something. Frets are Gibson modern med. jumbo style. Pots are 500 K CTS; cap is Jensen paper in oil .022. I'm eventually going to put a 250 K in the tone position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted December 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2011 And zero mud from the neck. Still very chimey and vibey with plenty of bright edge in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were GAS fueling for me. i think the route you took makes a lot of sense, but I usually limit myself to the most basic of set up work so putting one together would have turned into another "one of these days projects" for me. I hate to admit it, but I've yet to even pop my own cherry on a p'up replacement. I've usually just dropped them off at the tech's shop when they have to go under the iron.
