Quarter sawn ash with aged nitro?
Attachment 5915
Looks more like flat sawn Ash to me.. But I have been known to be wrong :)
He probably is, be interested in what the guitars construction is as well
wow Keith looks a bit younger in that photo.
Good to see the fingerboard has been relic'd how it should be - 1000's of hours of playing
Looking at it I reckon its a one piece body, judging by the continuity of the figure.
yeah I agree DB but can't zoom in enough to be sure, might be 2 or more piece body bookmatched nicely
It would have been a custom build for Keef...
So I reckon one piece.
Cant see him playing an off the shelf axe.
good point DB, Keef would only play the best tele's
looks like Friday arvo is presented to you by the DB and Woks show
looks one piece to me...
Well I guess as I don't have the tools to do it as a scratchy, nor do I have the cash for a custom shop tele, I can see a TLA-1 hoving into view on the horizon...
Also given how poor a guitarist I am, the 5 string open tune thing will also not feature :)
sounds good Rabbitz, the ash tele kits are a nice bit of gear and from the latest ones I've seen don't think the factory put a veneer on like some of the other ash models (STA-1 and IB-5)
Pretty sure if you check Andrew O's TLA-1 build diary its doesn't have an ash veneer
Meh, so much for my plans.
I was going to just build the LP-1M. That's it. I'm a pretender on the fretboard, so the LP would do.
Then I thought a surf green ST-1 would be nice, but it is now heading towards being a lime wash, Mary Kaye kinda finish.
Now there is a tele in the frame - with a natural finish.
One day I'll get a surf green axe...
haha thats it Rabbitz so many kits to choose.
You will get around to building all the models you like
Funnily enough SWMBO doesn't seem to mind. I thought her role as Minister for Finance would have kicked in a strangled the game before now.
I suppose it gets me out of her way.... :)
I found Andrew's diary - the grain on that one is very tight. I guess you pay's ya money and ya take ya chances with the grain!
nice deal Rabbitz the minister allowing another kit.
Don't take Andrew's build as how yours will look, there is a big difference in the grain structure of each kit, it's basically a lucky dip
It is no issue woks, If I was doing this for a customer it might be different, but this is just for fun, so it won't make to much difference.
The back up plan is, if the grain isn't good enough I'll buy a tin of surf green...
:)
haha no worries Rabbitz, well another option for a tele build (being a flat top) is glue a veneer to the top as well
I better get the ST sorted first...
You would be surprised how easy it is. You can work pretty much any Stones song from about 1970 onwards in a few minutes. He actually only plays 4 chords in that tuning and just moves them up and down the neck.Quote:
