Long awaited Feline 20th anniversary model unleashed

[itamar101]

The more I look, the more I'm liking 9, 10 and 11.... 11 most of all.  :o

What colour would that look good in?  It's probably too dark/reddish for blues and greens....but it needs something more dramatic than a traditional late-'50s sunburst, I think.  A deep red or brown, maybe, with no sunburst (or a very subtle one)?

I've personally never liked dark transparent colors and I always find that it ruins such a beautiful quilt top. Why doesn't anyone do quilt tops in vintage amber or lemon burst or something?? It'd look stunning!

Anyone ever seen Mark Knopflers Pensa Suhr? That, IMO, is the ideal colour for a quilt top.

The Knopfler guitar is nice, but it is a bit too much of a light amber colour for me, like a very faded old Les Paul.

It's just personal taste, of course, but I was thinking more these kinds of colours:

I was thinking that old number 7 would look good in this finish:

[FernandoDuarte]

I thought about it a bit more and put a deposit on it!

[FELINEGUITARS]

Number 7 is now sold - thankyou Phil King

Think either the mules or Riff Raffs will work nicely!

Lovely to see one of these babies go to a BKP forumite.

[Philly Q]

Blimey, well done Phil!  :)

I hope this thread will keep going so we can see how these guitars progress.

[FELINEGUITARS]

Yes I'll try to keep it updated and show the progress.

Would it help for it to be a sticky topic for a while?

I'd say they're the Nissan GT-Rs of the Les Paul world  ;)

WHOOOOOOOOSSSHHHH!

That went right over my head.

same here. I was just thinking, "oh great, so now i have to learn about cars to know which guitars are good?" :lol:

9 and 11 could potentially be killer - depends on the colour.

Just shows what you can make out of completely innocent comments! :lol:

Anyway, I really like the look of those as well.

I think I've already made this thread sticky...  :oops:

Nice one Phil!

[Ian Price]

Very pleased that a BKPer has pulled the trigger on one of these. If only I had the spare £'s.

[FELINEGUITARS]

Don't forget that you can spread the cost over a period of time if need be, so that way you end up with a mega guitar without cancelling Xmas.....

I've wanted one of Jon's guitars for a while, and playing Juan Solo's reminded me how good they are, so when I saw these I had to do it.   It is sweetened by being able to have a couple of different options too.  It will have the finish below (the Paul Kossoff Green Lemon Burst) and it's getting nickel hardware with double cream bridge and nickel covered neck pickups (Mules probably).  But the biggest difference is that it will have a wraparound bridge/tailpiece.  I saw that some of them didn't have the bridge mounting holes drilled, and a quick IM to Jon confirmed that a wraparound was OK.   People who know me are aware how much I like wrap around bridges and getting this was just the nudge I needed to put the deposit on No 7 (that and how much I liked the lighter top for the burst option).
