New ES-125 Style Archtop Hollow body with single P-90

[adam]

I'm not sure if anyone suggested this, but I saw an ES-125 in my copy of 1001 Guitars To Play Before You Die and thought we MUST have one.

I think the factory did a great job with this one.

Hopefully someone will jump on this new kit and we can see one finished.

I'd be all over it if it wasn't "that " time of the year.

kit looks great Ads, some special grain on the rosewood neck ! Body looks pretty damn sweet too. I could imagine how this looks in Dingotone. Maybe handball on to DB to build, he doesn't have enough on LOL !

Hey Andrew, well done diving in, they really do look good. You and a guy in Italy are the early adopters. Let me know what you think when it arrives.

It's another one they made at our request, so I'm hoping they've done a good job, like they did with the TL-51.

[andrewdosborne]

Thanks Adam, I'm looking forward to this one. The holy grail of archtops for me and couldn't believe it when it appeared in your store!

I hate you blokes, I really do!

Well, I had this neck mini humbucker (fits in a P90 route) left over as I had to buy a pair to get the bridge one for my JR-1 so it needed a home, yea, that's my excuse.

[andrewdosborne]

The perfect excuse! I'm going to use something similar to justify a P90 set (oh I can use one in an LP-Jnr and one in this!)

I haven't attempted a build since we started in '12, but am very tempted by this one. Spare time is the only hurdle (well, that and my cr@ppy skills).

I do have a couple of pretty handy Luthiers around if I need to call for help.

Yep, I'm going in!

[wokkaboy]

good stuff Ads, would be cool if you ran a build diary, would have to be your first build diary ever !

for once DB gets let off the hook he doesn't have to build the kit for you !

[adam]

Yes, definitely Woks, I'll get it started tomorrow.

I might have to sacrifice a couple of naps per week so i can get 'er done.

[Dedman]

some inspiration for you Adam, not a lot of pics on the interwebs , most seem to be with a cutaway or are semi-hollows (not sure of that code 330?)

11787
11788
I'm going with something more like this...I think, or a Dark green burst similar in tones to the Jr-1 as they with both have similar fittings and pickup
11789

[andrewdosborne]

Good stuff Adam, looks like an archtop fest is about to begin!

This guitar reminds me so much of the Epiphone Century made first in 1939. if I hadn't bought the electro acoustic GR-1SF I'd love this. This guitar has been made re-popular by the success of James Bay's Chaos And Calm. If you've not heard it check out the sound on this track https://youtu.be/GsPq9mzFNGY. They made two different headstocks supposedly the one with the smaller headstock sings like a bird. Maybe I'll get one later with a nice P90 on. Nice kit love it. Great job Adam look forward to seeing your build.

[adam]

It's an ES-125 style kit, Dedman.

If I can end up with something like this I'll be very happy:

Look forward to your build Ads. You know the deal sing out if you need any help or advice. Take your time and you can end up with an axe like the photo

[dingobass]

I saw Adam today and he informed me he was going to build one of these.....
Lucky he has a tame Luthier close by :D

[wokkaboy]

Hey DB that's old news buddy. Can't wait for the build diary reckon he can top Doc's diary and make 100 pages haha

[Dedman]

we want photos of Adam in action, none of this flicking it to DB ;)

[pablopepper]

How exciting!

Haha, DB don't forget you will need a hard hat, a fire extinguisher, crow bar, jaws of life, steel and flint, and a pre booked session with your psychiatrist (same one you use for ES wiring), who knows how Adam will handle this since it isn't Tele shaped....

[Dougr]

I'm currently putting one together & trying to keep it as originally produced with a deep dark sunburst effect.

[wokkaboy]

coming along nicely Doug !

[marcelloz]

Hi there,
fantastic kit. When will the version with hardware/pickup back in stock? I really want one :D

[Brendan]

Marcelloz - email adamboyle at pitbullguitars dot com - he should be able to give you an ETA.

Hi Brendan,

done. Thanks ;)

[Hobastard]

my thoughts exactly

Plus one more...
Its probably (definitely) out of my league as an absolute beginner with a rough touch...

[gavinturner]

Speaking of ETA, ADAM WE NEED A STATUS UPDATE ON THE BUILD!!!!

cheers,
Gav.
