Got her put together - just a few things left to do

[ptirman]

Going to put a chrome decal on the headstock with black outline and put a chrome selector switch tip.
The push-push pot didn't work so I put a push pull pot to split the coils. The thing plays like a dream. The Pearly gates SD bucker is bright and amazing and when split sounds like a cross between a Tele and a Strat. The TV jones has such a fantastic, unique sound. I'll post a video demo this weekend.

Please forgive the cell phone photo. I'll post a better one when I get a chance.
Cheers!

Brilliant!!!

 

[blueruins]

Beautiful and unique...nice!

 

[ptirman]

Thanks Nando and Blueruins! Wait till you hear the thing.
I'm sitting here at work (should be working), just playing. This'll be my go to guitar, I can tell.

 

[jackthehack]

What is that fretboard wood?

 

[ptirman]

It's Zebrawood. Gloss finish. Plays like a dream!

 

[ptirman]

Think I ought to put a chrome ring on the humbucker? I don't know, I haven't thought so but the more I look at it I wonder?

NO! no, at all!

 

[m4rk0]

Fantastic!! Love it!
do you have some porn style close ups of the back and side?

 

[ptirman]

Thanks Fernando, I'm going to leave it alone. Momentary insanity.
Thanks Marko! I have to drive right now to Bakersfield for work (sounds like a song). I'll take some decent photos tomorrow evening.
Hope to get the decal in the next few days and also a neckplate from Dangerous if he has the same email as 2 years ago.


People were ogling it at the git store where I had the wiring done.Some people were in there and said "What the heck is that thing"? I told them a Warmoth. Probably have a convert today.

I love the fretboard, and the wood top on a white body

What radio station were you listening to? :icon_biggrin:

"I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran 20 red lights in his honour, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Lord".... :laughing7:

and THANK YOU for showing off that completed project. Woah, that grained wood combo on the fretboard & the body top work go well together..... The TV Jones up front & the Pearly Gate at the rear, that guitar should be tone city!

:blob7: :blob7: :blob7:

 

[elfro89]

such nice wood figures! Nice build man, nice!

 

[Stew]

just amazing .... !

... and if you decide you need a pickup ring I think it'd look great with a vanilla one the same colour as the body.

 

[nexrex]

AMAZING.  :laughing7:  Also I now dislike you, how dare you create something so awe inspiring?  :laughing8:

 

[Patriot54]

It's like a cake with white frosting - I want to eat it.

 

[ptirman]

Sittin here in Bakersfield - I only ran 19 red lights tonight!
So if you're down on your luck and you cant harmonize, get a girl with far away eyes.

Thanks dudes, now playing this masterpiece in my hotel room. What a great guitar!  :headbang:

 

[Cagey]

As nice as it is, it makes you wanna build another one, doesn't it? <grin>

 

[ptirman]

it's a disease right?

 

[Cagey]

No, it's a behavior, but it's compulsive and obsessive <grin>
