A while back I posted some stuff about a teak guitar I was messing around with. Well it's finished and on the website at http://www.legraguitars.co.uk/ab602.htm

Although you guys gave me some good input about hardware etc I wound up fitting what I had lying around, with just the odd tweak here and there.

Hope you like it.

sweeeet; she looks gorgeous! how does she sound in comparison to, say alder or mahogany? I don't suppose there's any chance of clips. good choice of pups i might add :lol:

dear god thats my new dream guitar..... it has EVERYTHING i want.... a cool finish which lets the natural beauty of the wood (which is LUSH itself) through with p-90s!!!!

Wow that looks cool, I know it'll play and sound awesome aswell if the quality is similar to the Legra that had BKPs in at music live!

Built to order about £1500 but this one will go for a lot less 'cos it has a few (carefully concealed) compromises, like the extra blank plate in the back where I tried a series/parallel switch etc.

Looks amazing - I bet it sounds incredible too with those P92s.

The sound is very difficult to describe; huge sustain and clarity, very natural, acoustic sounding but with loads of power from the P92's.
I'd do some clips but I'm a lefty so I can't do it justice; any volunteers?

Superb looking guitar Bob and fantastic choice of pups. I am an Essex boy and often go to visit my folks in Gidea Park- I would love to give it a go but I have a mate who, unlike me, is a brilliant guitarist who lives in Hornchurch. He is a very busy pro musician but if I can get hold of him, I will see if he would be interested.

That is really sweet - how do those P92s sound in it?
