I dig it! Killer color scheme (I'm big on tortoise guards), very cool inlays, nice choice of pups, very stylish and functional.

One minor niggle - that bridge pup needs a mounting ring IMO. Otherwise, it's perfect - nice job!

 

[DamianP]

Thanks E.

There are still a couple of small things to do.

Pickup ring is one of them!

 

[erksin]

Forgot to add - LOVE the Swamp Ash top...

And - how did you get the D and G strings to align with the skunk stripe at the headstock? Looks very pro, D!

 

[erksin]

Also forgot -

You need to put your name on that thing - a guitar that nice will get lots of attention! Mouldytone..?

If only I`d been as clever with the low E.

I became impatient trying to come up with a logo that I liked and decided I couldn`t wait any longer. Maybe on the next one.

I bet that Filtertron in the bridge kills! Nice work.

By 'eck, Damian, I'd play it!
Beautiful finish. Choice Pick ups too, good taste!

Best, Pete.

[Balance]

Wow! Wonderful work there Mouldy!

 

[Testudo]

Beautiful! Love all your choices - color, wood - and pickups! I'd love to give it a go-round.

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Still the honeymoon period but I am pretty happy with it. I only strung it up because I was impatient to hear it and 2 weeks later I`m reluctant to strip it down and finish it. (It plays well considering I havn`t dressed the frets yet !)

The filtertron is very sweet especially with a bit of gain. Although the 2 pickup position is possibly my favourite...very good for my hamfisted funk meanderings.

Now I`m of to the dungeon to plan my next contraption.

[cuz/karl]

That things f*%king beautiful.

 

[woodytone]

killer guitar. I dig the design.

 

[DamianP]

Thank you all for your kind words.

I think I might try something with a carved top and humbuckers next, maybe with some real binding as I don`t have a guitar with any of those features.

This is a great place for inspiration. So many amazing builders to inspire me to improve.

,Damian. So when are you going to into "production"?

Best, Pete.
