Lovely work Andy, sounds absolutely silky. Top Job!
Gee, that looks the goods. Fantastic job. Don't think I've ever seen one of these with a burst, but I have to say it beats the classic trans red by a country mile. Love it.
Wow Andy, you have to be happy with that, not only looks great but sounds great as well. pat yourself on the back , well deserved.
Looks fantastic all buttoned up, Andy. That burst looks even better with all the hardware and shinies, great job.
Well, even though you put the 'ding' in Dingotone, it's all come up looking and sounding lovely. A great job and a nice demo video.
If my son was musically inclined I'd send him a pic of this, it would be much safer than the "educational" websites that his browsing history suggests he visits :)
( no I'm not stalking a 37 yr old but the grandson also uses his tablet device and PC so I do tend to investigate before 7 yr old eyes see what's hidden )
Hi Andy, Congratulations on the safe arrival of your newborn after 9 months and 11 days gestation period. Good thing about this one is you won't need to change any nappies, just strings instead.
Looks great and for stock PUP's they sounded really sweet and authentic to that style of guitar. Have you tried playing it with a strap standing up? Reckon it will be plenty neck heavy and you may end up having to move the strap button to help with getting the balance right.
Well done Andy building this guitar was a mammoth effort and it has turned out beautifully. I like the demo, sounds great
Thanks guys for the great comments. It was well worth it.
@DK, I think thats a good thing checking that browser history
@Waz, yep i've changed enough nappies ...ha ha. Yeah i have used the strap, the weight of the 18 tuners kinda outweighs the basswood body, so if Im ever good enough to play this thing at a gig, i'll have to re-position the top strap button.
Cheers Andy.
I found out recently how neck heavy the EX-5 is when using a strap as the only spots for the top strap button are a fair way back towards the middle of the thing. It also has a very, very long neck with 5 tuners hanging off it which doesn't help trying to keep it balanced at a comfortable playing angle. Suppose I will get more used to it over time, will just have to practice more standing up than playing sitting down.
