New Feline Thunderbolt Custom with BKPs
« on: March 01, 2006, 01:51:16 PM »
Here is the latest beauty to roll out fitted with some BKPs
We have a Miracle man in the bridge and a Stormy Monday in the neck.

The switching allows humbucking /off/single coil for each pickup
The body is alder, neck is 3 piece maple with an ebony board.
The inlays were hard work but look fantastic- rather pleased with them.

As well as the Floyd , the guitar was fitted with Sperzels for quick restringing.
Body was based on a Jackson Kelly with a deeper cutaway for easy sweep picking access at the top end. Neck is similar to an Ibanez and we put an all access neck joint  connecting the two.

We had the customer's signature made up into a transfer so we could make it a signature model for him with it on the headstock.

Another trend that is happening more and more is we find ourselves just using the catseyes logo without the feline name and it is still very identifiable

It plays like a Demon and the BKPs sound so damn good - it was all silly grins  when playing it before the customer collected it.

VERY nice work! I'd love a custom RR vee made by Feline, it'd kick all manner of arse.

Like Kilby, I am not a fan of pointy guitars but undoubtedly that guitar looks the business.

hah Ratrod that looks awesome, although I prefer the white pinstripe one personally.
