New guitar day draws closer
« on: September 28, 2011, 09:03:35 PM »
New guitar day draws closer.  Going back this time last year I asked Johnathan at Feline guitars  to make me a guitar.  I am a bit of a sucker for lot of different tones from one guitar so opted for a tabby hybrid.

Needless to say I love the look of it so far.

Anyway I got a few pictures of the guitar in production. Here they are:-

Nice axe! The hybrid is very appealing to me as I play mainly strats and tele's.

The pickups are yardbirds in the bridge and neck and a mothers milk in the middle.  The pickup selecting is going to be intresting.  Three way switch. with the tone pot a push pull  activating the middle pickup as well.  The volume will be another push pull which will give the  middle pickup on its own. All in all should give me lots of options.


The colour is going to be a black burst.

Some better pix were in order before we strip her down and get her painted
NB - pickguard still has protective plastic on - will look better when peeled off

looks great i'm sure with the switching options it'll sound great too. Brent Mason the top country session player uses
a 3 pup signiture tele (valley arts) but uses a blender pot for the middle pup so it can be totally in or out or anywhere in
between which sounds like a cool idea too.
