Blue Korina Thinline

[adked]

That's looking real nice, I'll bet those tv jones are gonna sound great!  Love the blue, it's really rich.

Output!

Nice project you have there. Blue is "only sometimes" my color, but i like that body.

Cheers

Output indeed, although you have to put something in to get something out. Applies to people as well.

I like blue, but it really depends on the shade. I've only been able to find one other pic of a trans blue korina guitar (can't remember where), looked amazing, but it was a bit of a gamble. Although, I must give a lot of credit to the visualization of the online builder, it matches pretty well.

Anyway, tuners are in. Decided to dress the fret ends just a little as well.

"Ya gotta get in to get out......"

Yes, I admit it, I like Genesis.

Don't eat those lamia.

Yes, I admit it, I like Genesis.

Reminds me of some Frank Zappa lyrics from "Dynamo Hum"...

I got a spot that gets me hot
But you aint been to it
cause I cant get into it
Unless I get out of it
An I gotta get out of it
Before I get into it
cause I never get into it
Unless I get out of it
An I gotta be out of it
To get myself into it

I'd quote the rest of the tune, but if you haven't heard it, you need to know that it's a bit 'off-color'. Yeah, I know. Weird for Zappa, right?  :icon_biggrin:

But, for the more bold among you...

 

[BigSteve22]

Gotta love Zappa fans!

I've found it's usually hardcore musicians who appreciate his work. Everybody else kinda looks at you funny if you profess any admiration for it. Chicks will look at you like you're trying to force them to watch The 3 Stooges.

You got that right! Should have seen the wife first time she got in my car and Joe's Garage was in the cassette deck. (Don't laugh, I had an 8 track before that.) A little catholic girl listening to Zappa's "Catholic Girls", priceless. I don't remember if we even got to "Crew Slut" before she freaked!

I swear the Central Scrutinizer is still after me for that one.

This thread is going to the white zone.  Speaking of which Frank Zappa, "borrowed" a pen from me to sign autographs and then drove off in a limo with it.

I lost the ticket with the autograph years ago.

Ok, speaking of guitars that want to kill your mama (and burn your dad), on to the genesis of my tele (I appreciate the love for good music here  :icon_thumright. It's finished! It was a bit nerve-racking to drill into this beautiful finish, but it had to be done. Strung it up for the first time yesterday and field-tested it immediately  :guitaristgif:. It has an absolutely lovely sound, very clear, well defined without being too trebly. Tuning issues seems to be very limited or non-existent (one of my worries with the saddles and trem). Very usable sounds in every position. Couldn't be happier  :toothy10:

On to the glamour shots:

 

[Vallhagen]

That is extremely tasty, down to every detail. I'm really impressed! I think i just said that i'm sometimes sceptical to blue, not this time. Looks exclusive, expensive. Sexy tremolo too.

Now go to the guitar of the month contest and win!

 

[adked]

That come out really nice.  That's quite a trem arm on there!

Maybe we could trade lefty's once in a while... 'course I'd have a hard time giving that one back.

 

[Fat Pete]

Love everything about this, nice job!

Surely a serious contender for guitar of the month - get it entered if you haven't already.

 

[BigSteve22]

VERY nice Tele. Almost makes me wish I was a south paw. That is exceptional work, you are to be congratulated.

Sorry about being part of a partial thread hijacking, just trying to keep others entertained so you could finish up unmolested. (That's my story and I'm stick'n to it!)

 

[stratamania]

Well done, the Tele looks quite unique and elegant.  :icon_thumright:

My face exactly.

Thanks guys! I'll send it in to GotM.

Thanks for keeping the thread alive while I covered up any mistakes in my build

Dam! That turned out sick!! So freakin good.
