Loving your work Dedman, always a unique finish and look.

Looking great Dedman. Loving the headstock. The gold on the black/green combo is gonna look awesome.

cheers,
Gav.

Assembled it today and my biggest fear ,that the pickup would sound crappy was unfounded. That's a huge relief as I plan on using it's neck position partner in my next build the ES125. The mini humbucker is wired up to the lone volume pot with push pull for splitting it.
It really is super bright on split, almost sounding like a Tele, with the full humbucker its quite a full sound. Anyways,thats it for now, it just has the chinese strings on it atm, will give it a couple of days then re-string with some nice 24k gold strings I have for it, I'll give the whole guitar a final polish and clean up the stray bits of polish on the fret board then.



Where's the tone knob? ..on the floor ! Tsunami meets the family

That looks fantastic Dedman.

You'll need to give us a photo in the sunlight Dedman so we can see how the finish turned out.

[wokkaboy]

wow Dedman another sweet looking build, you really got gold strings to go on ? that should look a treat

glad you are happy with the sound of the pup.

as Fretty said look forward to some good daylight piccies

Awesome looking JR Dedman, nice job

[Dedman]

Thanks guys
It's overcast and spitting rain here today so, as soon as it fines up I'll get some nice pics, either that or I'll set up a light box, still a couple of little touch ups to do so it's not really finished just yet

Nice collection you have there and another fine build too.

Just trying to figure out what was lurking in the background with Bigsby on it? A Getsch of some sorts perhaps?

[Dedman]

yup, a Electomatic , Korean made Gretsch. it's nice, but I seem to be playing the GD mostly since I finished it. Having fun sitting here noodling on the JR atm
