superb Tony, you really nailed this build, what's the sound like and hows it play ?
3 'G' type entries already, looks like a Gibbo month and all are a very high standard

What a stunner!

Wokka Sounds pretty good through the Blackstar Ht but still some setup needed ( touch of string buzz) really suprised how good the pickups are and absolutely no noise .Really like the way it feels. Was gonna see how it sounds on my old Princeton Chorus tonight.
Im gonna have to have a crack at another for myself now with same setup.

good stuff Tony, your last comment so this axe isn't for you, you going to build another for yourself ?

[andrewdosborne]

Tony that ES is a stunner, well done!

Thanks Guys
Yeah Wokka one of me mates is a fitness trainer (psycho) and I traded a guitar build for a gut reduction. On reflection not a great tradeoff as I will be doing all the work in both instances.

good on you Tony, you might be doing all the work but it will pay off for you, lose weight AND get a trial build of an ES before yours. Sure you have learnt better ways/methods so the next build should be even better

Ok, time to ruin the all Gibbo show. Here's my Ash Telecaster 'The Shoegazer'. It's finished in black Colortone and Tru-Oil. The grain has intentionally not been filled to allow the texture to be visible. The pickguard is red tortoiseshell. The pickups are Tonerider, the cap is Orange Sprague and the pots are Bournes. The nut is a bone job filed by yours truly.

Thanks for your consideration.

cheers,
Gav.
