Gav's Thinline Cabronita Build

[wokkaboy]

so that was a pretty good guess of mine then Gav !

[stan]

very nice indeed Gav.
Make sure you dress up for the demo vid, and get that thing into GOTM

I know where your coming from Gav, I find building even more satisfying than playing. I also have acquired a new distraction, a Yamaha flute (long story for the kids but I'm busy 'testing' it, think Focus - House of the King..!)

Nice Andrew . Thanks Stan. Unfortunately it was a special order from China not a PBG kit so no GOTM entry for this one. Wokka your estimate was *chillingly* accurate !!

cheers,
Gav.

Hey Andrew, I've got 3 "commercial" guitars and 14 finished kits. As wokka said, there's still 5 on the stack!
For some reason, as my collection grows my playing isn't getting any better! Hmm...

cheers,
Gav.

3 words: Needs more guitars!

[gavinturner]

You are so right Callum! Thing is, I seriously can't stop. I think I have a problem...

cheers,
Gav.

lucky for the others it's a special, you have a winner mate. How does the whammy hold up?

[stan]

Time to start selling a few mate - the quality is there and you get to build more, win/win

It's a GFS xTrem. I thought I'd give it a try as they are a lot cheaper than even the knock-off Bigsby. To be honest I like it. It is a little cheaply made but the action is really smooth and it's a snap to string it up. With the roller bridge and some roller string trees it doesn't seem to have any tuning issues either. Pretty impressed with it!

cheers,
Gav.

I was going to ask what you thought of the xTrem, good to know. The build looks great Gav, excellent result and just that little bit different as an added bonus.
