Roadhouse

[rgand]

This guitar is perhaps my favorite to date. It takes the Telerauder design and scales it to fit a standard case. It's quite comfortable with good balance.

The neck is Warmoth modern construction with a custom headstock shape. It's rooasted maple/roasted maple, SS6150 frets, Tusq nut and Hipshot staggered, locking tuners.

The vibrato is a Trem King which is a spectacular design. It does a huge dive and returns positively to tune every time, due to the spring engineering. It also screws flat to the body like a hardtail for good tone transfer.

The pickups are Bill Lawrence (Wilde) pickups. Bridge: L-290TL, Neck: L-500C.

Thanks to Bagman67 for the beautiful piece of mahogany and DangerousR6 for the fine neck plate.

Here's the build thread for this guitar.

So beautiful!

 

[rgand]

Thank you, Magnus. It's going to be hard to find another equally interesting piece of wood.

 

[Jebberz]

Very nice.

I SO want a short scale bass with this body shape...

All the patterns are packed away until mid-year but that's an idea I have been tossing around. Thanks for the nudge in that direction.
