Swamp ash/Pau ferro Strat. progress report

[willyk]

I just did the deed on the hardware.. RG's like the korinakaster MG/HB/TB and all black for the knobs, tuners and bridge. should be good :icon_biggrin:
Heading back home tomorrow so I'll start back into it when the jet-lag fades a bit. I'm in Seattle at the moment, just a buggy-ride from "you know where"

 

[tallman]

Check out Emerald City Guitars or Trading Musician if you've got time

[willyk]

Somebody else recommended those. Unfortunately I didn't have time, it was a bit of a flying visit. I'm home now, just (5 hrs) Jet lag's great isn't it  :sad1:

Welcome back to the great southern land!! How was the holiday? I trust you weren't too naughty on the axe-purchases  :icon_tongue:

I'm playing a gig at the Ox on wed the 25th, if you're feeling young (ha!  :icon_jokercolor i'll be there rockin out. i think we're on around 10/10:30ish. And if you do end up making it down.. bring earplugs. the mixer-man there is an absolute drongo.

Good to have you home mate, talk soon  :guitaristgif:

That looks great! Now make it a right handed one somehow and send it over

The only thing is the chrome jack. Try a black one on there, if there are any :icon_jokercolor:

 

[GoDrex]

just play it flipped like Hendrix - I would.

 

[Orpheo]

this axe is great! it looks like honey! I'd have chosen a mahogany/korina body with a maple top, or korina top, or something like that (because I dont like the sound of ash...), but this is just great-looking!
