Members d_dave_c Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 Looks pretty cool. These are the designs with the honeycomb pattern inside, right? Any thoughts of a neck-thru? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boggs Posted January 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 Looks pretty cool. These are the designs with the honeycomb pattern inside, right? Any thoughts of a neck-thru? They are not a honeycomb chamber. These are chambered for resonance, not weight. This is the same model showing the internal rout. You will see how it does not really lend itself to a neck-through design. Each neck pocket is CNC cut and custom fitted for each individual neck heel for perfect fit in the pinch area for maximum sustain and energy transfer...

Members boggs Posted February 1, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 Drilled for the string-through and pressed in the bezels. Strung her up last night as well. Sounds really nice and balanced acoustically. I'll have to get pictures again for GOTM at TGP with her strung. All that is left to do now is to wire her up and record a clip or two! Then, it's on to the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretmonster Posted February 3, 2011 Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 From the construction, I'll bet that's a real players' guitar. I think it looks pretty elegant as well. Clips would be nice.:poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boggs Posted February 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 It weighs less than 6 pounds and doesn't neck dive either. I really need to put it into the hands of a player much better than me to really demo it properly. Thanks, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members boggs Posted February 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2011 GFS Fat mini-PAFs. I had them in another guitar and people really love the tone of that guitar. I am now getting some custom (not off the shelf...) DiMarzio minis as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
