My first build - Enikoy's ES-3

[enikoy]

COOL....I bought 'Golden Teak" stain as well, haven't tried it yet..... thanks for showing what it looks like

I've tried to get the photos to match the real appearance of the colour. The final shot with the side and front is a very good match to real life, checked on a few screens. It comes out magnificent on the side timber, it gets a lot of wows from people (normal people, not specifically guitarists or woodworkers).

I also tried their "xxxxxsomethingxxx Maple" but it was far too rose' red for this project.

Those with eagle eyes might note that I have failed to ground the tone pots. Didnt spot it when I plugged my "cardboard" guitar into and amp. Schoolboy error

Just plugged in. OK an hour ago. This this so sweet

Photos and text tommorrow.

Here's the photo at least. Too busy playing with my new toy for much text at the moment. Sounded fantastic straight up. Needs some attention with the nut and tuning of the action & intonation. But yeah, with the hardware upgrades, it would compete with an Gibson at 4-6x the cost

She looks awesome.

The guitar looks beautiful, I like the natural blonde finish of the body.

Bravo, that looks sweet!

Hey Enikoy, that is just beautiful. Please cut the string ends, take 3 more photos (body close up, back of the guitar and a headstock shot) and then enter it into our May 2016 Guitar of the Month Competition.

Really great result. How does she sounds? I bet she sounds sweet plugged or unplugged!

cheers,
Gav.
