Feline "SOUTHPAW" Emerald Tiger (picture heavy)
« on: October 18, 2009, 02:39:49 PM »
Just in case you thought things had been a bit quiet on the Feline front : here is one that we've had under wraps for a few weeks
We couldn't post about it sooner as it was a 50th birthday surprise for some one and I certainly wasn't going to spoil that
But here it is in all it's green glory....

The player loves Santana and has long been disappointed that you cant get a left handed PRS (other than going Private Stock at silly prices) , so his family came to me to ask what we might do.
So we built this super guitar and fitted BKP Abraxas pickups to it
For tuning duties we used a fab Hipshot tremolo and Sperzel tuners
CTS pots and orange drop capacitors as ever
Ebony fingerboard with Dunlop 6155 frets
Inlays were split MOP and Abalone matching the abalone topped control knobs

Great fretwork!
Buy your BKPs & Earvana from ME!

I always have a hard time adjusting to looking at lefties but I must say that is stunning, one of the finest Felines I've yet seen.

that would sound lovely through something like a 10w EL34 combo - did you have something like that to hand?  :wink:

That looks nice.
Shame it's a lefty and you don't get to play this one once you have finished it.

Oooh. I like that green. Maybe green is the new blue for me.
I think I hate being indecisive.
