Just wanted to show off a couple of new guitars leaving our place to go to happy homes .
It's nice to show off some more traditional style axes for a change and just how good the BKPs look as well as sound.
I also thought that our Wolftone amp looked the part too.
Note the new style logos on our headstocks- somehow a more traditional alternative
First up is a lovely swamp ash tele fitted with a pair of BKP Brown Sugars
Nice birdseye maple fingerboard on this one too.
it has a custom 4 way switch that gives the usual 3 tele sounds plus both coils as a series connected humbucker
Really versatile sounds - and all classic tones
We've played everything from funk to blues and played along with AC/DC too on this baby

Next we have a swamp ash hardtail strat style guitar
It features a BKP90 at the bridge, an Apache in the Middle and a mothers milk at the neck. It also has a push/push pot to allow the bridge and neck and all 3 on combinations.
With the swamp ash body there are a lot of tones but all have a slightly funky & wiry edge to them clean
Also due to there being some real diference between the pickupo types the inbetween sounds are a little more exagerated in some ways
The BKP90 has a real bark to it which is so nice when overdriven and reacts well to the tone control being wound back.
The Apache still has it's bell like tone but in the ash body it also has more of an edge to it.
The typically slinky sounding Mothers Milk at the neck is even more so in this axe-kind of begs to play funk
Bridge and neck together yields a lovely open tone - quite tele like but with its own twist and all 3 on almost sounds like an acoustic guitar

^ love that Tele Jon!
Psst....how much? :roll: :wink:
-
Looking good Jon-I loved both but that Tele...wow.
-
To me there's something wrong with birdseye on a Tele - not "working man" enough, far too "rich man".
However, that body figuring is gorgeous :D
-
Very beautiful guitars, nice photos, the quality jumps right out. To think of all the different tones on the strat, all those pickups roll into one guitar. Great idea. :)
-
Clips and prices please?
:)
And yes, the Tele is georgous. Birdseye always does it for me ...

:o
(looks around for jaw)

I really love the script style Feline logo, very classy! I bet it would look good on a LP type too.
Oh yeah, the guitars are pretty spectacular too. I love the strat.

The script logo does look good
I have tried for years to AVOID using the script because it looks like it could say Fender, but it does look good on retro looking guitars
Having a capital F at the beginning and having a tall L in the middle creates the illusion of Fender which has a capital F and a tall d and both have 2 x letter E.
Fender : Feline

Feline can you post the mod for the tele to have the 4 way switch

You will need the switch (we keep them in stock if you need one)
the wiring diag is out there on the web or I can post it up if you cant find it
You have to disconnect the metal casing of the neck pickup from the black wire and run a separate earthing cable from that to the back of the pot as both ends of the neck pickup will be in use when combined in the humbucker position and the bridge pickup earth wire will become the overall earth wire for the "humbucker"
