Golden Boy

Very nice, thinking about getting a gold strat as well.

How does the chambered mahogany sound? I'm very interested in it, because i think the chambering could give the mahogany a resonant and open tone.

To me this axe looks like something out of a James Bond flick.

I was thinking the exact same thing, this would be a perfect guitar to play the James Bond theme, Secret Agent Man, I'll bet it's tubular on surf tunes too. It's got some real 60's pre-psychedelic vibe for some reason.

Sorry, being a HUGE James Bond fan ... I couldn't let this one go ...

The "James Bond Theme" was written by Monty Norman, and is simply titled as the "James Bond Theme"

Secret Agent Man was a song made famous by Johnny Rivers, and written by P. F. Sloan and Steve Barri, possibly as a result of how popular spy-type movies and shows were becoming in the '60s.

Real nice guitar though .....

You should have it gold plated......Like Satch has a "Chrome Boy", then you would have a real "Golden Boy"..... :toothy12:

Sweet, how are you liking the scalloping.  I've been thinking about incorporating that into a build.

Was going to try to redo the Goldtop on the Tele this weekend, but it's been raining every day and is too humid to reshoot it right now; learned my lesson with the 2nd sand back of the top about trying to shoot that paint when it's too humid or cool, maybe next weekend....

"Sweet, how are you liking the scalloping.  I've been thinking about incorporating that into a build."

I like it very much. Cant tell much difference unless I look, but things like deep vibarato and legatto, or any left-hand techniques, seem much easier. Another bonus is that the finish on the fretboard isn't likely to wear out.

Trippy, King Midas all the way. I was showing my girlfriend some gold bodies in the showcase and she was freakin cause I was tempted......Can't wait to show her this one.  Wild stuff here. :hello2:
