Two Down, One to go.
Hi.
I have finished the second electric guitar in my project of three. I must thank all the members of this forium who gave their advice.
In particular I want to mention Durwood for his posts most notably the one on spraying & french polishing. I must fess up..I spilled thinners on the back mainly and so there are obvious blemishes, but overall I am very happy with the result.
I used it this afternoon playing 'wallpaper jazz' with the treble rolled off & it was great.
They wouldn't let me do "Highway to Hell" :mad:
Here are the specs:
Warmoth Neck: Mahogany with Rosewood fingerboard
Scale: 24 ¾”
Body: Myrtle
Tuners: Schaller, locking
Pickups Neck: DiMarzio PAF Pro DP151

Strap pins: Schaller Strap Lock
Wiring: 1 vol (treble roll off) 2 tone. Coil cut. 3 way P/U Selector
