Hi all, cheers for the comments!
The guitar? It's semi-hollow... cocobola back, neck and fretboard... mahogany top... 24.5" scale, 24 fret neck (inspired by the PRS Santana 3). I'm not mad on the pickup covers either, but the 'bombs only went in initially as I was curious to try some. The plan was to get some other pickups voiced once it was understood how the 'bombs performed in the guitar. But damn, they sound so good!!! I can't see them coming out any time soon. I might take the cover off the neck one this weekend.... but either way it's a cosmetic consideration and I'm having too much fun playing the thing.
The build time? That's an interesting story.... Joe D is bashed on plenty internet forums over it. He was doing great until 3 years or so ago, when I guess he became 'cool' and got a LOT of orders. Being a 1-man show, a very obsessive one at that, production got slower as the order list got longer and he kinda got swamped a bit. He stopped taking orders a while back and hopefully is sorting himself out, getting some of that backlog shifted. He's a really nice guy, but could maybe do with saying NO to people a bit more... and I guess another pair of hands or two around the place would be a big help to him.
I'll see if I can get some clips done at the weekend.... MT2 in front of Bad Cat + this guitar = :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: I tell ya what, I borrowed a mate's Diezel Herbert for a while recently but he has since sold it, I would LOVE to hear this guitar into it!!!
