Hi guys, Thanks for all the compliments. Still can't get the smile off of my face when I play the guitar. I was thinking about orange strings, but we'll see about that.
I'm still waiting for my truss rod cover to arrive, then I'm planning to enter it into the guitar of the month contest.
I'm also trying to record the guitar but my phone doesn't do it justice. I'm looking at borrowing a camera from a friend with a better mic in it.
Cheers,
Brian
"Blue flame" has certain connotations . . . but in this case it's all good vibes.
Obviously, plenty of blues is going to be chunked out on this lovely looking beastie.
Couldn't be better IMO and will be a hot contender in GOTM.
Really nice work. I really like the colour of the front. It's the kind of colour I was hoping to get
I really like your headstock too.

Thanks, I'm really happy with it.
I'm just waiting for my truss rod cover to come in the mail then I'm going to enter the GOTM.
I'm still having a bit of an issue with the D string saddle buzzing, almost like it's loose.
@maxaxe, ha blue flame, I didn't even think of that.
Cheers all
Brian
Excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing the TRC
Hey guys,
Sorry it's taking so long for a clip of the guitar, been working a lot lately. I tried a video last night but the result was not very good. Have to fine tune my volumes so my phone can pick it up clearly.
I promise it is coming, but be forwarded I'm not a very good player.
Oh and still waiting on the truss rod cover. I'm hoping next week.
Cheers,
Brian
Don't stress the guitar skills Brian. I'm sure you are better than me. We've quite a few beginner builders here in the forum who are also beginner players. Just check out my demos and you'll see what I mean. I always need many many takes to get usable material. Whatever you can do will always be greatly appreciated by the forum. We all love a sound demo as it brings the whole experience full circle and is the ultimate pay off for following the build over its weeks to completion.
cheers,
Gav.
