Apparently he cant log in as he's lost his password or something, so he asked me to post the pics for him, looks great!

Wow, for a custom it's not very flash. Looks a bit plain to me.

Bet he's still worried about applying the Charvel decal :P

I think you should have mirrored those images  :lol:

(Its a Jake E Lee replica)

not flash, but it has reverse angled pickups  8)

I think it looks totally awesome. I would love a Jake replica guitar, I would pose and play "Thank God for the Bomb" in front of my mirror all day. :)

Looks very tasty! Another of Bob's custom gorgeous custom jobs!  8)

What pickups did you go for?

woogie likes them plain - but he is very particular about the exact details!!!   This is exactly what he has been after

There guys that like with utter-figured woods and guys that like it plain... It's a nice guitar, who build it? (I just don't like angled pickups  :? )

He got exactly what he ordered - a replica of one of Jake E Lee's guitars- but left handed.
Looks great too!!!

What few will have noticed is that the Hiscox case is a custom colour interior as well. Thety are usually red or were previously green or grey before.
That is the first one I have seen in a Royal blue, although I have had tiger stripe interior ones done in the past.

I like the plain top - looks like a player's guitar, not a gallery piece!  Nice case too.

And since Woogie isn't here, I'm going to say it...

....Hardtail FTW!!!  :twisted:

Not usually my kind of thing at all, but I'd happily turn kitterpaw for that, now.

Not 100% sure what it means myself, but I think it's "For The Win!".  Looks like it should be something rude though, doesn't it?

sorry if this is Philly Q's attempt at internet sarcasm again  :P

but I shall just say that from my limited knowledge the last two words are 'the world'
-
Woogie says that there is a holy diver, and two slowhands, and push pull coil tap

Me too!

Would look just like the real thing (if Jake was watching himself in the mirror...)  :?  :lol:

Me, sarcastic?  You cut me to the quick, Will.  :cry:

But I was being serious!  I agree, it does have that other meaning, but "for the win" seems to make more sense in this context.

He nearly drove me nuts over the detail; there are 102 emails in Woogies file on my PC and that's just the ones I kept!!

Still that's what custom guitars are all about. I'm a lefty myself so I really enjoyed making this one 'cos I got the chance to play it properly; something I miss out on most of the time.

Nothing wrong with plain guitars, I think they look better as I've never been a fan of stupidly gaudy quilt tops, and I only like subtle flame :P

I think this guitar looks really nice, the slanted singlecoils arent really my thing but it looks good anyway! I'm almost tempted to save up and get myself a legra

wow bob, i cant imagine having to deal with guitars that are mostly 'the wrong way'.  I have done a few lefties and as long as i double check the template is the correct way round i am usually ok, and the side dots have never ended up on the wrong side of the fretboard. . . honest :?  - but when it comes to the actual set-up i have to revert to doing it all by the numbers and takes forever.  I do all my righty set-ups based mainly on feel!!

i cant imagine not being able to play most of my work either - that must suck!!

:D Again another great job there Bob ! Would love to hear what this beast sounds like !! [ hint hint  :P  ]

Love the simple finish looks great to me espiecially the shots of the Headstock, lovely colour blue to, nice job Bob !

PS How much was it Bob ?

I like that axe, except for the fact it's backwards.  They just twist my melon.

Bob - how come there's no logo on it?
Title: posting on behalf of woogie - his new Legra blueburst!
Post by: Jonesy76 on September 11, 2007, 04:16:04 PM
Nice job Bob........looks like a real peach of a guitar.

From personal experiance may I just say that Bobs work is absolutely fantastic, and he doesn't try to shoot you for being overly tricky (like Woogie could have been if Bob has that many e-mails, and I certainly was :roll:  ).  It's all Bobs fault that I'm now a devoted Bareknuckle man, and as soon as I can afford them the doubleneck is getting a matched pair of Bareknuckles (not decided which yet) for the 6 string side.  Just my Orville more desperately needs Bareknuckles before the doubleneck :wink:

Post by: dave_mc on September 11, 2007, 08:01:02 PM
that's sweet, i love superstrats. needs a floyd though...   :wink:

Bob's work is great. The more i play mine, the more i like it. I've tried guitars double the price which weren't as nice, and that's before you even consider that the specs on my legra would probably double again the price of those other guitars I tried (that made more sense in my head, honest!  :oops:  :lol: )...

 :twisted:

EDIT: 100 emails? wow i thought i was bad!  :lol: Then again, each one of my emails is about the same length as 20 normal ones.  :lol:

Believe it or not Wez I have to really concentrate when I'm making lefties as well. I can remember making a left handed Tele years ago; it was finished and then I went and screwed the strap button onto the lower horn :oops:

Post by: WezV on September 11, 2007, 10:26:45 PM
glad its not just me!!

100+ emails isnt bad - at least woogie never would have let you have a single misconception about what he wanted.... Shame he couldnt be convinced to have the legra headstock nice and proud on the headstock though, i hope he let you get it on there somewhere
Title: posting on behalf of woogie - his new Legra blueburst!
Post by: Jonesy76 on September 11, 2007, 10:40:15 PM
I specifically wanted the Legra logos on my doubleneck, just so that anytime anyone asked what it was I could tell them! :D ........
Title: posting on behalf of woogie - his new Legra blueburst!
Post by: _tom_ on September 11, 2007, 11:05:33 PM
Yeah if I ever get a custom guitar it'll definitely have their logo on the headstock! I think that woogie is just going for an accurate a clone as possible by the sounds of things. Heres a mockup of the kinda strat I'd like bob to make me when I have some money, though it may just be cheaper to Warmoth it!

looks like the guitar Jake uses for Rock n Roll Rebel :P

Woogie will probably tell me what colour Jakes is though, it is a pale blue or something.

I keep having to look at those pics, its too nice :(
