After long delays caused by lack of tools, availability, lack of skill, and a lot of traveling, she is finally ready. I don't have all the nerd specs off the top of my head, but I'll do my best. Contoured heel, walnut wood, Bareknuckles (Abraxas and '59 Veneer!), compound radius neck, the biggest frets they had (SS), umm, what else....well, just ask me if you're curious!

Dangerousr6 did the truss rod cover and neckplate.

Tipperman suggested the walnut wood!

And not to embarrass him too much, but can't thank Cagey enough. Not only did he do the fretwork on my neck, but he sent me two wire care packaged because I'm limited in what I can find out here and also answered a ton of questions I had. Also, not that he needs it but I stand by his work and recommend his services to any other noobs on here.

The sun was going down already so the quality isn't as great, but I did make an effort to go outside and get some photos.

Hows the walnut look in person?
Nice guitar by the way.  :icon_thumright:

You know, I just realized that yours is the correct way of aligning tuners on that headstock. That is a very handsome guitar.

Looks great man, pics don't do it justice, especially with the sun going down.

Totally did that on a whim, eyeballed it with no measurements or anything.  :laughing7:

 

[JCizzle]

I agree  :headbang: ccasion14:

Thanks guys! Needless to say, this guitar was also influenced by Steve Morse.

Yeah, the Bareknuckles really rock. They're vintage hot, so they sound great clean but you can really crank them up, too.

That's not really my "yard" but it's in the front of my apartment building.

Don't know how I missed this up to now, but I'm glad to see it. That's a nice piece of work! The Walnut seems to be different, somehow. It's more of a milk chocolate shade than the darker coffee shades you usually see. I like it. How heavy did it turn out?

Also, thank you for the kind words. I was more than happy to help.

 

[JonatanOTG]

Nice one, I like it! Congrats! :icon_thumright:

Ok here goes one of these stupid questions again... When you put the guitar flat on the floor, won't that apply any pressure on the head (because of the neck and head angle, I mean)? Or perhaps there isn't any neck angle? Just curious!  :toothy11:

You're quite welcome. It's not very heavy at all! I haven't weighed it, but it's really comfortable and easy to play.

Thanks! I actually didn't really notice, I'll have to lay her down again and check out the angle.

This is one of the better looking, simpler guitars! I dig :headbang1:
