Ice Tea Burst LP has arrived

[riverbluff]

I got a nice surprise in the mail today.  Tonar did a great job and really hit the bullseye for what I was looking for.

For your viewing pleasure...

Can't wait to get this finished.  Going with a very classic look; Chrome hardware with cream pickup rings, and chrome covered pickup.

Wow!

 

[Hbom]

What he said! :icon_thumright:
Can't wait to see it completed.

Amazing.  That top looks like glass.  I would like to know his secret

Nice!  Gonna be a great guitar.

That guitar has such a cool top. There is no way to see it in pictures, it changes from every angle. It was fun to do that one and Hannah's side by side. Hannah's top is so bold and Bill's is so subtle; I love them both. I especially love how the color of the mahogany matched the color of the burst on this guitar so well. 

I look forward to seeing it put together. Thank you for letting me be a part of this build and for all your kind words.

What the puppies gunna be ?

Now I want one ...........  :sad:  :doh: 

 

[greywolf]

very nice indeed !

 

[riverbluff]

What the puppies gunna be ?

Not sure yet.  Maybe a SD JB/Jazz combo or BKP Mule set.  I do have a RG BBQ set but they are open coil and I want to go with chrome covers.  Leaning more toward the BKP though.

The tea burst looks cool. For pickups have you thought about Häussel-1959s ?

 

[fretless]

[Perry Combover]

I first heard of them through Ruokangas who uses Häussel for pickups.  For those who are not familiar with Ruokangas he is a luthier from Finland. He has some videos on YouTube that for most of us on here who like to assemble or build guitars would find worth a watch.

SD JB/Jazz combo or BKP Mule set. 
Leaning more toward the BKP though.

That SD combo is a commonly used and a trusted combo.
Seen a lot in LP's
I got that set on a Strat. Sounds great.
But ....
I have BKP on my black quilt strat TOM, got a Mule in the neck & a Abraxas in the bridge.
That guitar is my Fav.  :guitarplayer2:

Go the BKP's  :icon_thumright:

 

[riverbluff]

Ok, finally getting around to finishing this beauty.  I have everything I need except pickup.  Got it narrowed down to three choices.

1) BKP mules
2) BKP Riff Raffs
3) Railhammer Hyper Vintage
