Holy dooley, this is shaping up to be a tough month. Seriously awesome axes here. Not a stinker among them.
I wouldn't say no stinkers. Mine smelled like rusty vinegar for a couple days... The guitar and the apartment...
sure it was worth the smell Ken !
OK, with some trepidation, I am throwing my hat into the ring, so to speak. Constructive comments welcome. Let me add I haven't had this much fun, even when frustrated with non working capacitors, fret buzz and other things, get in your way, for a very long time. This guitar has been very much a journey for me. But the best bit of advice I got from this forum was that "There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins...". This really got me through. Thanks DB. Now for the guitar - it does have mods ie:BJM kit, trem weight and pick guard from Guitar Fetish and small parts from eBay ie:string tree and silver knobs, plus Entwistle pickups along with DB clear neck finish, bought proudly from the Pitbull website. Now, I hope I just got the right photos ;) PS: Intonating was especially fun - what a surprise it was to Adam rocking out on the TL-1!Attachment 6028Attachment 6029Attachment 6030Attachment 6031Attachment 6032
And here's the headstock detail...FYI - It's a swan head.Attachment 6033
Love the color and the antiquing on the finish. And that hardware is sick!
Nice one nDR01d and subtly reliced. Like the headstock!
Is that "Red Special" wiring nDR01d?
nice work droid, some cool customs bits, love the neck plate and you need to tell us more about that wiring!
Fretworn and Stan, yep. That's right, BHM = Brian May wiring (although I think my finger slipped and hit the J next to the H key in the original description). It was a rather large bite to chew on for my first build let me tell you. But in the end, with tips from a few of the gurus (looking at you Wokka, Stan and esp. Rabbitz) I was able to get the thing making some noise. =D It sounds so beefy just on a clear channel, and then you flick a few switches and she sounds like it's made of (dare I say - Bohemian) crystal.
