Sorry, couldn't help it....  :icon_biggrin:

Still waiting on delivery of the Braveheart, no forecast on it either, but we live in hope.

So clean and uncluttered.  sweet guitar.

The abalone dots are great.   It might be from test driving high end acoustics loaded with abalone, but abalone has become a guilty pleasure of mine... kinda makes me feel rich.

 

[DocNrock]

Nice.  Clean and elegant.  Tell us more about the build, particularly the pups.

 

[Chris of Arabia]

I think I hyperlined the photo, so you should be able to find out all the build details on flickr. The only thing I forgot to mention was that the neck has the Claptop profile on it. The pups are an Seymour Duncan C5 and a SH2n Jazz neck.

Wow! :hello2: What do you think of the Clapton profile? What's the nut width?
:laughing3:

A little bird tells me it might not be too far away...  :icon_thumright:

When I first got it, I wasn't too sure about it. The 'V' seemed all too prominent. Now that it's had some use though, that initial feeling you get on the neck of a new axe (where it feels like you keep sticking to it) has gone completely and the 'V' isn't noticeable at all and it's a very comfortable neck to play on. I wouldn't necessarily take to much notice of the measurements either, which would suggest it's one of W's larger profiles - playing it just doesn't feel that way. It's certainly nothing like the size of the boatneck on the Tele, which is by far the largest neck of any guitar I own short of the 5-string Cort A5 I have. It'll be interesting to compare with the neck that's going on the 'Braveheart' which will be a '59. The nut width is whatever size you need for a LSR - not too sure what that is though.

this guitar is very much like an anderson or something like that. its dropdead gorgeous. if it had fholes and a korina back, it would've been my dreamstrat

 

[jimh]

Did put you down for a start guy Orpheo.  I thought you were LP's or nothing??

Man cannot live by LP alone...

I have to report that this one now has a small chip in its finish on the top horn of the body - currently, no one is claiming responsibility, I have my suspicions though...  :sad1:
