Forge Embrace Custom with Bareknuckles...
« on: September 22, 2008, 11:04:10 AM »
hello,

new guitar day.....
i got my new babe in the last week on tuesday...
its equipped with 2 bareknuckle rebel yell distressed pu...

and, i love it..
this guitar is a custom order i did, from forge guitars, germany...
here are some fresh pictures:






the colors change a little bit from picture to picutes, it was very hard to take these pictures because the light wasnt that great and due the bad weather, i couldnt make outside pictures of my beauty.

i knew the rebel yell pu befoer, i changed about a year ago the pickup in my ran randy rhoads  from an sd to a bareknuckle, and the difference was a world imho.
so it became clear that i need to have bareknuckles in my new guitar aswell.

in the next month issues of the german "gitarre&bass" magazine will be a review of my forge embrace, i´m very curious about it :)

thanks to tim for making this absolute great pickups..
cheers
chris

Now, given my tastes, I really shouldn't like the look of that... but it's gorgeous!!

Great pics as well.

I like it
Interesting body contours
What's under the screws on the last fret?
I want more photos
What's the neck joint like and what's the shape of the headstock?

Not seen one before but I really like it.

Very cool the way the binding intrudes onto the body surface and trails off. I am also a big fan of no fret markers on the face of fretboards, personaly I think it gives a sense of freedom (I have always beena  bit odd)

Very nice! :D

Is that a PRS bridge?  I didn't think they let anyone else use their parts.

But you can buy *ahem* replacement *ahem* parts from them!

Very pretty guitar, btw.

I never liked the look of those forges, especially that headstock - blech.  But, congratulation anyways.

EDIT:  Those pickups look ace though.  Top notch job on the distressing.

Your Forge is very interesting to be sure. I've seen pictures of them before but have not ever been in the presence of a Forge guitar.  The natural unstained edge is somewhat reminiscent of my Dean Soltero.
