Zandit's First Build Thread

[UpperCaseH]

Looks great Zandit! Are you gonna do a sound demo?

Just realised I'm missing something!
What's the best location for the strap buttons?
The one on the bottom is pretty easy to determine, but what about the one up near the selector switch?

I did exactly the same thing on my tele. "I'm done! Hooray! It plays! I'll just attach the strap and... oh."

You won't see me playing I don't think! I'm a pretty basic rhythm player, with a few hammer on's and pull off's to make it look like I know what I'm doing. It confuses most of the old blokes I play with, but doesn't seem to be impressing any chicks. My wife is just sick of hearing the same stuff over and over again!!!

I'm going to catch up with a friend this weekend ho has a heap of gear, including a bunch of kit guitars from Pitbull, and he sure knows his way around a guitar. I'll get some footage of him playing if he's dressed and presentable!!

Better make sure there are no 'Up Shorts' camera angles as everyone reminded me on my 2nd J Bass video.

It looks like this is your first serious electric guitar and with practice you will surprise yourself how easily your playing improves due mainly to the playability of an electric compared to an acoustic.

Haha, you video is exactly what I had in mind as a NO GO edition!!
In regards to playability, yes, the neck is much narrower in width, and thinner front to back than any of my acoustics, especially my 8-string which is the widest, but my most used guitar at the moment. It's going to take soe time and practice to see how it feels, and it may graduate to a live gig one day, you never know!

Great work Zandit. you've got to pretty proud of that, yes you were blessed with a beautiful splame cap, but you've done that really well. the DT colourless on the cap looks great and i'm super jealous. nice build mate, especially for a first one.

[Zandit75]

Thanks Andy, high praise coming from you! Now the waiting starts for the announcement of the GOTM!!

[Zandit75]

My mate Trev letting rip on my new build.
Hope you enjoy!!!

And now a little dirty!! Sorry for the angle, I recorded it in landscape, but for some reason it saved it this way!

[Simon Barden]

Well done, sir! Looks great. Now you don't have an excuse to post a video (in say a years time) of you playing some awesome licks on it. Go and practice!
