Members Hua and a tele Posted June 7, 2011 Members Share Posted June 7, 2011 Posted this in the effects forum, but thought the guys in here may dig it My girlfriend had this built for me for my birthday by M.J. Sullivan guitarshttp://www.facebook.com/pages/M-J-Su...rs/96868027883. There's more better quality pictures of the build on his site. The humbucker was custom wound by Ted Crocker. It's built more as a semi hollow body and it screams. It's thick and heavy perfect for playing slide. The neck is flame maple, the headstock veneer, volume knob, and pickup ring are made from burl walnut. It's a gibson scale length. I do believe this has totally changed my playing style/musical style... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it's tuned d-a-d-a I had it d-a-d-f# for more variety but preferred other other way. I think I'm gonna try for 4 string banjo open g tuning next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hua and a tele Posted June 8, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 8, 2011 Those things are on my want list. Some cool sounds can be had out of them. That one is one of the nicer ones I ever seen . Matt Sullivan from Boston who built it makes mainly real high end acoustics so he came at it from that school of thought. You can tell as it is acoustically very loud. Last time I was at his place going over stuff for my box he was in the process of building what looks like is gonna end up to be a killer archtop. Here's a pic of the semi hollow box guitar he made for a local guy named Jim Chilson of the Ten Foot Polecats. Who also happen to be one of the best bands in Boston in my humble opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hua and a tele Posted June 8, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 8, 2011 Anyone think it's worth while to make some clips with a flip camera as I would be able to do that tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason the sites for real good builders can be a pain to find. I can post some links of very respectable ones if you'd like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
