Title: NGD - Feline Lion Supreme faded burst
Post by: FELINEGUITARS on May 22, 2015, 02:40:32 PM

I've been working on this build for a while now
Mike had seen a guitar we had made last year and wanted something very similar

We wanted to capture a lightly faded 59 LP vibe, but with all the creature comforts and refinements that we like to add:

Three piece quartersawn neck, volute , Dunlop 6100 frets, Earvana Compensated tuning nut, Sperzel tuners, TonePros tunamatic bridge and tailpiece studs, and a lightweight aluminium tailpiece.
Oh ....and our all access neck joint too!

Turned out very nicely too!

The pickups are a pair of Bare Knuckle Pickups Mules wired via a harness with CTS/BKP 550k pots and a pair of Jensen paper in Oil caps - although the neck tone is a CTS500k push pull that coil splits the neck pickup for singel coil sounds.

This is how it turned out
