What a beautiful guitar! It is a bit astounding (to me, anyway) how the elements we associate with different guitars blended together so well. I suspect that it mostly has to do with your artistry.

Nice Goldtop. What's the orange pedal?

Thanks Scott.

The orange pedal is a Jack Orman Mini Boost that I made a while back. Great sounding boost. I love the sound of J201's.

Sweet.

I am typing this because "sweet" is too short of a reply, according to the software

Love the looks of your Tele Jr. I think it would be killer to put a couple of P-90s in one of those. Could that be done?

Yup, that would be real easy. The only change you would have to make is switching to a half bridge to allow room for the p-90 in the bridge.

It also just so happens that Vince from Taipan tone makes a killer half bridge that he machines from a solid bar of the material of your choice.

Beautiful work, Vince. Artistry.

Wow! That metalwork is truly a work of art!

AS193 · #12 02-05-2009, 10:04 PM

Beautiful.
You made the knurled knobs too?!? Groovey is one lucky bastid.

Man, that's some amazing metal working. Fantastic job.

I'd like to hijack the delivery truck as it passes by Woodstock on the way to Groovey's.

Very cool Vince. The hardware looks GREAT!

I've been picking away at neck and it's coming along nicely. Here is a little update. The fretboard has been glued on and the solid brass dots installed. All that's left to do is drill the holes for the tuners and shape the back of neck.
