hello Penelope

Paulownia blends well w/ blues texas? nice?

 

[j_m_s]

swee la eugene! nice one! lovely strat.

 

[kahuna]

eieio: Because the wood is so lightweight, makes it sound very punchy. In the neck/mid position, i can get close to the song Belief by john mayer.

j_m_s: Thanks bro haha! Took awhile but it's there

I might change pickups in the near future, its not the sound in my head hahahaha! Might try out the klein S-5s

 

[eieio]

[naviros]

Woah... second one sounds good... And it looks strangely familiar... I feel like I've seen someone do similar paint work on their guitar like that on soft...

 

[kahuna]

naviros: Gr3y did a guitar with the same design before.

eieio:hmm, its quite close to the cd version, but i still want to give the kleins a shot.
This is the video that kinda sold me, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogKniT42thI

I believe I haven't posted pics of my custom 60s Tele in this thread..

Mighty Mite swamp ash body
Allparts TRO rosewood neck
Gotoh vintage tuners
Wilkinson bridge with compensated saddles
Fender 3 way switch
2 Gotoh (if I'm not wrong) pots..I have since replaced the chrome knobs for black Strat knobs.
Fender Custom Shop Texas Specials pickups
Mint Green pickguard
Electrosocket input jack

My not so custom 60s Tele and what a sound..really versatile for all kinds of musical genres.

 

[eieio]

faizal: refreshing look.. as in snow white?
or sleeping beauty? meticulous workmanship too eh

kahuna: perhaps.. maybe.... its due to the body wood used?
some like me prefer aged body wood tone, have u read article abt wood used in fujigen?

 

[faizal_rocks]

eieio: Haha, I choose white cos its my next fav color after red. Oh and this MM swamp ash body is really heavy but I can live with it cos its full of delicious, syrupy tone! Yummmy and all credit must go to a certain individual who assembled it up for me
