Today and for the foreseeable future, I'll be mostly playing...





... through a Line 6 HD500, plugged into the effects return of a Fender Mustang III.

Nice. I have a hankering for an HD500.

Thanks, I've had a hankering for one too.
Just got it yesterday, and I'm still to try the whole set-up out.

That looks good.

You could probably sell those you know ...

Looks brilliant. I have. Feeling that one of those with TOM and Trapeze tailpiece would work really well

I was really surprised that the Ghost wasn't the guitar shown in the header thingy at the top of the page - if ever there has been a Forum guitar'...

Looking good DD - I think we need a video to hear it too

It's awesome after reading all of the ghost development threads to be finally seeing finished examples that in all honesty look really really nice.  Congratulations you've worked really hard on those.  More pics and sound samples whenever you're ready please but no pressure  B-)

It looks good, a really cohesive and complete design even if its not totally what you expected

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys, I appreciate it.

Thanks Ash, you can say that again.
Actually, you did.
Edit:  Sorry, Ash, I've realised your double posting is probably a bug.

That's a very good point actually, especially considering this one is a one-off so can't be seen as an ad banner.

Thanks, Adam.
This model is actually a one-off, being out of specs. The "proper" Ghost examples should be made at the end of the month, when my new builder starts working on them.

Very lovely indeed young sir and I would buy one for sure, subject to a colour change for my tastes.

That really is cool!    I remember reading about it on MR -  fantastic to see it finished and ready to play - I hope it sounds as good as it looks

Well thank you very much Johnny, and what colour would that be?

OilCityPickups

For those with an interest ... the pickups are one offs too. An experimental cross - between a high output PAF and a TV Jones 'Magnatron' style.

I think we need soundclips ...

That would be either a nice CAR or an LPC alike Alpine/Arctic White.

When do you start selling them?

LPC = Les Paul custom? CAR?

If all goes as planned, work on the first 3 demo models should start end of August/beginning of September.
