Well yesterday was interesting day for me & the guitar. I got a call saying it's ready for me to pickup, so myself & Marc (sgmypod) took a leisurely train journey upto New'astle & went to see John @ JXG guitars. The guitar was finished ready....& it gave me a boner! Johns finish is stunning, the neck has been set in like a les paul & screwed in as well, the flame top in the pictures doesn't do the image justice, it glints & fades & roars when it's turned in the light. The Zebrano back looks gorgeous & just gives an extra different look to the guitar. John just coated the top for me & left the edge of the maple as almost a faux binding giving it quite an un-usual look I think, more of a 70's deluxe kinda vibe. The guitar is just waiting for my TV Jones classic plus to arrive now so I can fit it & wire it all up properly....thinking of dropping in a .033 paper in oil on it to see what it sounds with the TV jones.
Playing it acoustically, the rings just rings out very true, sounding like a beefed up strat, the zebrano brings out the mid range quite a bit to my ears & I think with the classic plus in it's going to growl through my MJW's.
Anyway, pics below to prove that it exists!
P.S. Don't go to the guitat Guitar in Newcastle if your looking for 1 new guitar, you'll end up with several!
