Cheers- came out really nice!

It's a new colour stain we have been using
Sort of a violet blue (or "leaky biro" as I jokingly called it once )

Thats a nice blueburst, second in my eyes only to the glorious rickenbacker bluebursts http://www.themusiczoo.com/Rickenbacker660_Blueburst_0605121.html though I did once see one of those that went wrong and had the most amazing Lavender Burst

That one was a custom built order and cost about £2000
Took about a year to make and was paid for in instalments to make it easier to afford.

Went out about two weeks ago and I keep getting excited emails from the owner about how pleased he is - so I guess it hit the mark!

If it plays half as good as it looks he bloody well should be happy with it.

Thanks guys - appreciate your enthusiasm

Thinking of having a bit of a blowout and selling some axes off cheaper at the London show - I want to clear some space so I can make new stuff and have a few more of these cool guitars out there being enjoyed rather than lurking here not being played as much as they should

Have a look here - scroll down the page and see what we have
Will talk deals before show if any of you guys want anything

Nice!

Is it a set neck construction?

Do you make the compound radius fingerboards yourself?

Nice to see an SG with a Fender scale length...I guess that is because of the 7th string?

How do you get 7 string tuner sets? Do you just split up a set and use the rest for spares and other 7 strings, or do you have a supplier?

Post by: headtheball on February 12, 2007, 06:29:20 PM

I'd smack babies to get my eggle finished like that. Tis beautiful.

Damn that guitar is gorgeous.

Well, they come in stets of 6, so when I went for tuners voor my first building project (which is not finished though), I had to look nice to the guy at the shop, to sell me one out of a set :)

But when you build lots of guitar, and you have certain channels to buy parts, maybe there are other ways.
Or you just build 6 7-strings  :D

Yep - a deep tenon set neck
Nicely contoured heel for easy access
Yeah - we do the compound thing ourselves
I have used the stewmac ready to use ones before and they are nice
The 25.5" scale was to keep the 7th string tight without going too fat in the gauge.

I suspect that "Leaky Biro" is gonna become an official colour  :lol:
