Whoa...
This is quickly becoming my favorite build to date.   :icon_thumright:

Thanks very much.

Thoes pickups arent screwed in are they? :icon_scratch:

Well spotted. String up first, then align the pu mounts.

So on this build you can just turn the sustainer on/off and thats that? That sounds like a better idea than having it as a pickup.

Yup, vol & tone (and some internal switching), sustainer on/off, harmonic on/off. That's it. No output from the neck pickup.

Ok phew  :laughing7:

This is a very, very cool build. I want to know how that sustainer works out for you, im getting more and more interested in them.

C'mon, we are waiting the Redwood Burl one, now that you finished the Explorer

Way friggin cool!

 

[djf67]

Thanks for the comments, guys.
It's up and running but will need a fret dress as one of the fret slots hasn't been cut deep enough. Intonation still to be done properly, blah, blah.

Otherwise it rocks! arty07:

Very very rough noodle attached of me trying out the sustainer harmonic mode.

Me too, actually.. or Saturn with the rings. Have you named this thing yet?

Then again, Uranus has stripes and rings too...  :doh:

You should probably get that checked out.

[texicus]

This is shaping up awesome.  I don't really have anything of worth to add, but this is just looking awesome.  Good work man.

That's just a lacewood top, yours is a multi laminate. I don't see what your referring to.... :dontknow:

Aha! That's where you're wrong. It's listed as sycamore, like my spalted pieces.
