Sorta NGD: The Lil bitch

[horsehead]

Well after all the ho-hah La Cabronitas & especially Daves after he didn't sell it to me (bad man ;) ) I had a word with a guy a friend put me in touch with John @ JXG guitars  about putting something together, finishing it for me etc, he agreed, did me a sweet deal & asked if I had the parts...I did. A chambered Maple & Zebrano body & an allparts neck. I took it up to Newcastle for him, spent half a day shooting the breeze with John & having a bloodly good laugh we came down to the specs being a single TV Jones Classic + (which I'm fitting) as well as finishing the body as a translucent black top to show the flame, leaving the edge of the maple unpainted to give it a bound look & just putting on a clear coat on the back to show the Zebrano grain & bring it out more, hes doing the front with an alternative to Nitro for me as well. Well I got the 1st pics today of the guitar after it's been drilled....Damn I can't wait to get hold of this thing!

Please, DON'T top route it!! PLEASE!

It's going to look sweet

[horsehead]

Good god no! It's just going to be as per the routing is now :)

This is a project I shall follow with grat interest. Just out of curiosity, what made you choose the TV Jones Classic over something like the Powertron?

[horsehead]

Listened to the powertron, classic & classic+ numerous times, and although I did like the powertron very much, I thought that the classic+ give me the sound I could use for more of the sort of thing that I play where as the powertron I would have only been able to use on a few songs. The classic+ seemed to be able to do everything from rockabilly to hard rock

This'll be good!  Look forward to seeing the finished result.

[Telerocker]

Nice piece!

[Twinfan]

Should be a cracker!  I like the spec, very tasty  8)

If you play some clean stuff occasionally, the Classic+ will be a real all-rounder.  I think that's what I had in mine and it's very versatile.

[horsehead]

Yeah I like my clean sound....should be nice through my bassman

[Roobubba]

Cut away the top horn (above the neck) and don't put that awful lame tele hardware on it, and change the headstock, and it might be okay. :)

[Philly Q]

Yay Roo's back!  :D

Must've been the spoor of a Tele that did it.

[Roobubba]

I've not really been away Philly, just not been particularly active in posting :) But seriously, why would anyone a) buy or b) build a tele? Just makes NO sense. :/

[horsehead]

Roo you dependable thing you

[sgmypod]
