NGD - can you guess what? (Feline Lion content)
« on: February 14, 2010, 10:23:44 PM »
So ok - I needed another guitar like a hole in the head , but I use it as an excuse for keeping my interest in my business alive and well on a selfish personal level.
It also means that I will always have certain guitars on hand for players to try out as well....

So it's a Feline Lion  with all my favourite bits:
Sperzel tuners
Earvana Nut
Rosewood board with Dunlop 6000 frets  & real MOP inlays
BKP Mule Pickups
CTS pots and Vitamin Q caps
Tonepros bridge
Tonepros split tailpiece studs and an aluminium tailpiece
Finish was supposed to be similar to PRS Tiger Eye finish - we stained the wood black and sanded off the stain - leaving it trapped in the grain , then went over with a rich amber stain giving the quite striking look you see
Body thickness is about 5mm thinner than a full depth Lion- weight is about 8.5lbs

So here she is

very nice - the black staining gives it a real 'tiger' look.

Is it a flat top or carved?

Here you can see the arched top



The all important all access neck joint


Even the knobs match the finish - tasty!

It's really nice Jonathan, but do the knobs only match at 10?  I think that you have got the best neck joint I've seen on a Les Paul.

Looks amazing! Did you do yourself a good deal?  :lol: :lol:

I have just replaced the Crawlers in my Les Paul with unpotted raw nickel covered Mules - really love them.
