First BG build - lovin it!

[Mike Griffin]

Great build. Envying your skills.

You can do it!

 

[Mike Griffin]

It looks good!

Thanks!

 

[Mike Griffin]

Oh my, this is a classy, gorgeous instrument!

Thanks, that’s what I was going for!

We think alike. Even my wife likes it. Can hardly pull it out my son’s hands.

You gotta spill the beans on that pick guard. It doesn’t look like run of the mill stuff.

 

[Mike Griffin]

Lol, that’s from Jimi Hasket off Reverb! Comes unbeveled, a bit pricey, but nice!

Funny how the usual people who holler about how “wood doesn’t matter” have got nothing to say on this thread.

Yeah, it’s a peeve. Spent five years of my life making high end acoustic guitars and as the OP and other gentleman have noted: Everything matters.

 

[ctmullins]

Everything matters, indeed.

But wood makes less of a contribution in a solid-body electric instrument than in a true acoustic instrument.

 

[kentiki]

Love it.

Probably true regarding end sound, considering the pickups & amp.

 

[Mike Griffin]

Love it.

Thanks!

Mike,
That’s one hella nice build and I guarantee if you started making and selling on the regular, you’d be able to make it turning out instruments like this!

BFG

 

[Mike Griffin]

Why, thanks much, BFG! I follow my heart, no telling what’s next!

 

[EagleMoon]

Love everything about it. It’s different in a good way.

Thanks, Eaglemoon! Just switched out the defective volume 250K pot for a spare 500K one, can’t get the bass out of my son’s hands! That’s actually the original DiMarzio recommendation.

 

[Mike Griffin]

See what I mean?!

 

[LowNloud1]

I love natural finishes. A winner in my book!
