[sgmypod]

can we see back of the lion...and p-rails?

[indysmith]

That Lion is one of your finest I think! Love the finish, and the single tone and volume pots.

[FernandoDuarte]

The birdseye on the Explorer is outstanding :o

I like the Thunderbird! better with the white pickguard

You trying to get me into trouble?
Here they are:

The back of the neck and body were oil finished for a natural feel - not unlike the finish on the explorer we did for Tim
Text is from my website:

Firstly the neck was a bit slimmer to suit his hands
He wanted an oil finish on the back of the neck and chose to have it all over the rear of the body too whilst enjoying a painted finish on the front and headstock

For pickups he chose to try Seymour Duncan's P-Rails design - giving both the option of a P90 style pickup and a single bade from a Hotrails design
The mini toggle switch allows rthe player to chose from 3 modes - Humbucking, P90 single coils , and RAils single coils
this works really well giving sounds that cover a wide spectrum from Fenderish clean, through a Gretsch like tone and also a conventional Les Paul type sound
With the standard 3 position pickup selector that gives 9 sounds

Bridge and tailpiece are TonePros and the tuners are Sperzel.
We fitted an Earvana compensated Tuning nut as well

i love the look of that natural maple neck set into the browner wood (that's not mahogany... walnut?)

[sgmypod]

think I owuld love a full guitar in the back wood is very pretty...nice heal as usuall

[FELINEGUITARS]

The back is mahogany!
Pretty stuff!

[Keven]

oi. the pro outwits me.

i love your stuff, shame i'm on the western continent :(

[roland_rat]

Very tasty as usual!

[Transcend]

Yes - discused the scratchplate with the owner of the bass
We have a template for it so he can order whatever colours he fancies.
He wanted the single ply black , but we'll happily make him a B/W/B or a tortoiseshell or whatever

i was just going to say a tortoiseshell one would be interesting.

It was quite hard for me to say that as i hate tortoise shell nearly as much as abalone and PRS guitars

[Ratrod]

Very nice stuff again.

When I first saw those P-rails I thought those could never be any good. Then I heard Joao Erbetta play a guitar fitted with those. I must admit, I was impressed.

Not that I would ever swap a real P90 or Filtertron for one of them.

[AndyR]

Gorgeous looking geetars Feline :D

[Antag]
