Hey all.
I finished a coupla geetars.
I didn't polish either one out,
because they are for me.
EMG pickups are very good!
Very pleased with the sound.
The acoustic one is very balanced,
and I like the way it sounds.
A little tight though.
Plus, it's purty!

Re: 2 geets done
G'day Alan,
Good lookin geetars there mate. So where is the sound file? I do like the wood you used to build the lecky!
I'm half way through another weissenborn copy for a good mate. I will post some pics later when the box is closed. All ready to go for closing when the weather is right!
Love your work mate!
Cheers
Alan

Re: 2 geets done
Nice job Alan, the solid bodies top is very purrrrdy, Black Walnut crotch ? If I had one critique (and it's just my anal eye so please forgive me 
) it's the rear cover plate on the solid body, it's shame it doesn't follow the line of the body. You have beautiful sweeping curves and a cover plate with straight lines. But that's the only thing & you don't even see the damn thing anyway when playing! I too like the silking on the weezy's top, and the rear timber on that little beauty is?

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

Re: 2 geets done
With the Weissenborn you exceeded the allowed amount of silk to be used on a guitar top! 
I also like that headplate with the inlaid dots that do underline the wood's own features.
The electric is also a gorgeous one. Very neat design! The pickups are already a great choice just because of the design, they combine perfectly with the wood.

Re: 2 geets done
Thanks all!
A coupla things, that Koa Weez was a pain in the butt.
A bunch of problems, and you might be right about the too much silking!
Too stiff maybe? I think I like the wider grained stuff.
I used Old Masters brand varnish, and it really brought out the grain,
and color, especially on dat koa.
I will go rounder on the leeky cover.
Thanks for that idea.
Funny thing, I originally shot ktm 9 on the guitar, and after 8 coats didn't like the look.
So I went back to bare wood, used General finish wipe on poly, and BLING!
Just what I was after.
I left the cavity cover with ktm 9 just for a comparison.
Thanks again!
