Just in case anyone though we'd been a bit quiet for a while we have a couple of updates to share with you
First up is a new guitar for one of our regular customers.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/felineguitars/CUSTOM%20BUILT/lionsupreme%20goldflake/liongoldflake10.jpg)
Based on our LION Supreme model it has the typical mahogany back and maple cap (some careful chambering as per many of our Lions)
Neck was a 3 piece mahogany affair with an ebony fingerboard - 22 Dunlop 6100 frets and NO INLAYS and our usual all access neck joint

Customer was going a a slightly star look but wanted the body front to supply the bling factor with a large metal flake finish in Gold with a sprinkling of Mirraflake which will sparkle in a rainbow of colours under direct lights (doesn't really show well under studio flash photography)

The pickups are Bare Knuckle Riff Raffs - teamed up to BKP 550k pots in a 50s wiring configuration using Jensen /BKP Paper in Oil Capacitors

very nice, as usual :)
-
Looks stunning. I like those one more then the red one you posted. Both look great though.
-
Stunning guitar! I really like the blingy look.
-
Another beauty, I always fancied a gold or blue sparkle Tele but that looks stunning.
-
Colour is a bit richer looking from other angles

That's what I call a goldtop.
-
Very sexy. Maybe if i leave the laptop open on this the wife may take the hint!
-
Awesome as ever, but the boldness of the sparkle is maybe a bit too much for me. Just personal taste of course! :wink:
-
Beautiful. I bet it would look fantastic under stage lights!
-
that looks fantastic! i want one :)
-
If you like Gretsch-sparkle you have to like this one.
-
The first thing I thought of was Airfix Gold Paint :lol:, haven't thought of that for many many years...
Really not sure I'd choose that finish meself - but she is a bit of a looker. I keep scrolling up for another look, there is definitely something about it :)
And no fret markings on an LP type really stands out doesn't it?

Now you mention it, big Gretsch-style inlays would look good I think.

Agreed
Owner collected it an hour ago - think it's gonna be a late night for him - breaking her in
-
I really like it! I'd have it easily!
-
I really like this. It has that Gibson/Gretsch cross over thing happening because of the finish and the lack of LPish inlays. Looks gorgeous.

Wow .... that is beautiful 8)
