[reez_rock]

1 vote for tetra tele(very creative!)

but cruxgod did put more hard work on his yamaha so it's still a tough call

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Thanks Cruxgod! You've got one beautiful looking guitar yourself.

Yes reez...Cruxgod spend a total of about 9 months to get everything in place. Which also means hard work on it from re-painting, designing, etc.

I only spend 2 weeks....hantam project. Much a lazier way of doing things. Hehehehe!! But the actual done up time is about 4 days. 1st day dismantle and lay the fabric. Leave it to dry took about a day. The inlays not a big deal, it's quite simple actually. Then I look high and low for the pickguard cannot find. Finally found it and wire it up...then my solder iron played truant on me. That was the delay and then I brought it to office and do the soldering. Adjust the trust rod, set up the guitar to my liking. Anyway, hardware used are:

1. Tesla pickup for tele
2. Wilkinson bridge
3. Machine head(Tone drive locking tuner key)
4. 3 way switch selector...(Thought of doing 5 ways where I can do out of phase but changed my mind)
5. Secret recipe capacitor value 2 nos. Hehehe!!(Like real ar)

[cruxgod]

i really like wat observer suggested....maybe we cld have a voting period (eg. 2 weeks), but currently we cld see hw the response first.....guys, send in ur projectss!!!!

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Eieio: Yeah...I wish man. Hehehe!!

Cruxgod: Hey...post a video of that guitar...sure like to have a hand on it. Very tempting. Hehehehe!!

Oh yes...family, commitment, work, etc. can delay your project guitar. Well for me...my children are grown up and so I got nothing much to worry. Hehehe!!

Yeah...keep it coming guys with your project guitar!! Maybe later can bid...hehehe!!!
