What an LP should really look like ;)

[bargeloobs]

If you haven't guessed it, I am taking a few queues off this gibo and applying them to my builds. One hopes to get some nice sounding instruments as a result.

PK

At the end of the day Gibson know how to build a quality instrument that's built to play so what better yardstick to try and emulate.
If you can get within a bulls roar of one of their instruments you'd be doing pretty well.
I must say you've put out a few nice fricken axes so far PK.

Tks Barge,

Ive been tweaking a couple of my builds(Eagle 11's) today. I am thinking I might take the orange drop cap out of the neck pick up tone pots and shove some .023uf cps on those, s the P90's are carrying way too much bass.

Had Stan drop by this arvo and we chatted for about an hour. He's a real nice bloke. I got all the goss on the Harmony and showed him my work.

Cheers PK

Was a pleasure to meet you PK, that Gibbo is the duck's nuts.
Pk's builds are quality, guys, they look as good in person.
The Eagles are very cool, very solid, any pretty heavy - they look great

Must catch up again Paul, I think it needs to involve a bbq, drinks and guitars, just saying...

Tks Stan,
likewise.

The Eagle 11's are heavy instruments, they are built for pleasure, not for gigging for hours on end. Both are solid lumps of Mahogany. each is finished slightly differently.
Son Chris' which was the first finished of the two, was deliberatly not grain filled on the back. this gives it that wonderful textured finish. this one is 44mm thick
Mine was grain filled this one is 37mm thick. Both are finished with Tungoil/poly on the backs and the fronts on both are shellaced
The necks are alos shellaced.

I have been thinking yes we should have a catch up with a few of the PBG family. Of course we need some one like Kelloooe who can actually play to come and entertain us while we drink booze and eat burnt cow.

Cheers PK

yep, Callum, AJ and anyone else who wants to come

Haha nah I'm not that good compared to if I really sat down for hours and drilled the scales into my head!

[dingobass]

And this is how LP's look when they come to my workshop.........
They have the worst designed necks and the build quality sux.

[keloooe]

Headstock break due to the horrible joint they use instead of something more like a scarf joint? Maybe the same with the heel?

[stan]

head stocks on LPs often break in a fall. If they land flat on their backs the headstock hits first due to the angles. Lay an LP on it's back and the only bits touching the deck are the bridge end of the body and the top edge of the headstock.

Drop a Strat the same way: just pick it up an play

Oh look, we've found something DB doesn't like..... :P
