Legra Aurora Build FINISHED

[MDV]

"It only looks as much like a Blackmachine as a Blackmachine looks like an anorexic RG."

:lol: Exactly!

And, neither can I!

"the blackmachine shape is pretty much an RG with softened horns right?"

And the Aurora is an RG with sharpened horns :twisted:

"Yes exactly : the highly figured natural wood (body and fretboard) is part of it.... Kind of agressive-neck-thru-B6-on-steroids "

So what youre saying is the only thing it has in common with a blackmachine is theres no paint on it :lol:

yeah, that's true, it's not like the blackmachine is completely original either.

Truth. Its aurora-like in that it combines lots of things that have been done before, but not at the same time. Rosewood neck, thin body, no paint = blackmachine, but blackmachine didnt start any one of those. Multiply through neck, DRM, laminate body, no paint = aurora. You can add 'pretty wood' to that, but who can lay claim to that idea?!

how many guitars have you seen lying around the Legra shop since you've been there finishing this one up? Does he have even more on the bench or is it just us two at the moment?

I've never been to bobs workshop, I have no idea. I think he has a couple to start, but I dont know if he has or not.

If bob said that its just yours and mine hes actaully working on at the moment though, then there you go. Most of the wait, the actual time between now and me getting the Aurora is for the oil to cure and layer it up. A lot faster than a paint job, but plenty of time to work on yours. Chill.

[MDV]

The heel.

Can anyone say 'upper fret access?'

[FernandoDuarte]

What frets is just above that heel?

[MDV]

The gradient youre seeing runs from about 17th to about 23rd/24th.

[FernandoDuarte]

Great! You'll play on 24th fret almost like you were on 1st fret :D

[MDV]

Heggzaktly.

[FernandoDuarte]

Took me more than 10s to understand it :lol:

[dave_mc]

nice, that's even better than the access on my V. and the access on my V is pretty much heel-less.
