scottb Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Here's a preview of the final look along with the inspiration guitar, a PRS goldtop. Quote
casanovas347 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 those 60days going fast, huh? btw. did someone listen to the "new" live DoCD from Scott Henderson.....boah, killer tone, killer playin'....well i have a few of his records (Dog Party, Well 2 the bone, Rocket Sience...) and i knew most of the songs...but he is burning the house down....Hendrix-2000!!!!..... John Humphrey plays the bass, Kirk Covington plays the drums and did the vocal-parts live..... Quote
scottb Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Here's your chance to vote! I've got a set of black and chrome pickups of similar quality and sound that would both work in this guitar. Which look do you like better. Quote

scottb Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 How about BOTH! Black and chrome. Please recast your votes with new choices being: 1 Cream / Chrome 2 Cream / Black 3 Black / Chrome (Black / Black not included because I don't lke it) Quote
scottb Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Due to the overwhelming response to the poll. I must end the voting to avoid crashing the server. Looks like since Ron voted twice (thanks Ron) each optioin got... let's see... carry the one... Yes, one each! Obviously Ron's second vote cancels his first so it's a dead heat. I think I will break the tie and choose option #3 The black trim with chrome pickups. I like the contrast of this option and the neck and headstock are still black so it brings it all together a bit more. It reminds me of the New Orleans Saints which I grew up pulling for. (That's how I learned to be a gracious loser and learned that football is not all that important) Who knows I may even throw a fleur de lis on it eventually. Quote
Joe G Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 I think you made a fine choice with the chrome on black. Quote
Ron S Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Looks like since Ron voted twice That's how we vote in Philadelphia--sometimes even as many as 4 or 5 times. Quote
7/4 Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Posted May 24, 2005 I think you made a fine choice with the chrome on black. ← Same here. Looks good. Quote
scottb Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 So, now that it's unanimous, I could have a problem. I am currently winning an auction on ebay for some BLACK Dragon II PRS pickups which would be a big improvement sound-wise. So the Black / Chrome option, may not be an option. Quote
scottb Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Black/Black? I had initially ruled that out but maybe it would work. I'll make the mock up tonight. I'll post some picks of Project 2 - Charvel strat soon as well. I've just about got it sanded down to wood. Should be able to finish when I get a free hour. Quote
scottb Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 Here's Black / Black optioin (not too keen on this one) Quote
scottb Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 Project 2! Completed the sanding of the existing finish. Quote
scottb Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) I am currently winning an auction on ebay for some BLACK Dragon II PRS pickups I am going crazy! The Dragon IIs have nickel covers. So we're back to Black trim, Chrome/Nickel PU look. Must be too many paint fumes! Edited May 25, 2005 by scottb Quote
Jazz Kat Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 How much do you think a custom D'angelico from 1930 is worth? Just so happens, my dad inherited it from his uncle who recently passed away. I been playing it. It is one of the most beautiful sounding guitars I have ever played on. Quote
scottb Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 Guitar project update: (almost too embarressed to post) Project 1: Since my last update I attempted to touch up that nasty little spot that keeps showing through which resulted in me eventually taking it all back down to wood! I have since reapplied primer and the paint and am waiting a few days before starting the clear coat (although I think with only one color, the wait is probably unnecessary.) Third times the charm, right? Project 2: After jumping through hoops to get my hands on the Magenta / Gold Mirage kit and ordering a second can of the color coat, I hated it! I could generate a slight color change by holding the guitar up the light, but 99% of the time it looked like a mixure of purple and gold which resembled a brownish / plum color which was not attractive at all. So I'm back down to wood again on this one too! My plan for this guitar now is to utilize a stencil kit which I got as a free offer from Duplicolor, and some of Duplicolor's new metallic flake paint. Thinking about blue with silver flames. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) Anyone here play a Triggs arch top? They look real nice. Just wondering how they sound and feel. Edited June 14, 2005 by Hardbopjazz Quote
