Twang, jangle and wang.......................

[Unwound G]

Came in yesterday............a Gretsch inspired L5S to be fitted with a Bigsby, TV Jones Classics pickups and G inscribed knobs.

This is for a friend/customer who wants a Warmoth that looks, sounds and plays with Rock-a-billy attitude but versatile enough to handle Jump Blues too.

 

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

Thats really cool!

 

[nathan a]

Yep, that'll do Gretsch for ya. LOVE the double F hole L5s models.

 

[hannaugh]

Gotta get me one of those.

 

[Nando Vallart]

Looks nice!

The lower switch hole (the normal for W's L5S) will be used as knob?

Don't like the looks of most 'trons, but I like the Super'Tron:

 

[Tempest]

That's sweet dude!  :icon_thumright:  Is that transparent tangerine for the finish?

You must post pictures when this is finished!

Twang I can see, jangle I'll give you, but what's up with "wang"??

 

[rockskate4x]

I think it would be hillarious if you gave it a floyd. Then it would be like an obese baby of the recently built 80's strat...

Love the color anyhow.... I never would have thought of that for that guitar style. You gotta like the obnoxiousness of it all.

 

[Mor Paul]

Bigger pics!

Looks like it's going to be really cool. I've wondered what a reddish l5s would look like...

 

[Tonar8352]

Very nice! Great color!

 

[simple]

Inspiring build!

 

[Sinistar]

Wow, that's very close to one of my "dream builds".

I really like seeing a classic look updated or personalized in a tasteful way.

Very, very nice.

 

[RobR]

:rock-on: I'll be watching this one progress!

Twang I can see, jangle I'll give you, but what's up with "wang"??

Please oh please not the wangcaster again....


Sweet build there man!  Very classic and I love the fact that its going to be crowned with a Bigsby.  :icon_thumright:

 

[Unwound G]

Thanks guys.  Really appreciate your comments.

That's sweet dude!  :icon_thumright:  Is that transparent tangerine for the finish?

Yup, Transparent Tangerine on Swamp Ash.

Twang I can see, jangle I'll give you, but what's up with "wang"??

Wang as in wanging that Bigsby.

Pictures to follow when done.

I'd say he got his wish  :icon_thumright:

 

[manndreas]

I'm torn between ordering a tele thinline or a L5S as my first Warmoth guitar. You just made up my mind for me :icon_tongue:

 

[Unwound G]

Centering to position the Bigsby.

 

[Unwound G]

Mock up with TV Jones Classic pickups and Bigsby.

 

[Nando Vallart]

Damn this looks nice! :icon_thumright:
