I think this is one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve seen.....

Very nice, partscaster?

I would buy it. Not to play but to eat.

Should have gone to Specsavers.

To be fair it’s nothing that a tone control and a proper pickguard won’t fix.




Edit: ah, wait a minute! Now I've seen it on a full-size screen, what I took to be a bit of terrible relic'ing when I looked on my phone is actually the reflection of the metal case logo. So it doesn't need a refin... just a tone control and a new pickguard.

Hmmm... where's that number for Specsavers?

Love it. I’d prefer a tone control, but if I had the chance and the cash I’d be all over it.

Yep and thinline construction to boot, trying to get a little more Gretschy than the regular Fender ones, Never understood why Fender haven’t done more rw board La Cabs

Is there a thread on the build?

I think there probably was but it would've been 7 or 8 years ago, so lost when the old musicradar forum fell over.

Is it Harley Benton?

I think the Gretsch style pick ups look silly, just get a Projet, I'm no fan of fusion anyway.

That's

 beautiful.

Where did you get the body and the neck?

Needs a floyd rose, monkey grip, scalloping &  some judicious relicing.

The black double bound cabronita however.......perfect

Body was made by @guitargeek62 and the neck is a custom 25" scale baseball bat from USACG, iirc. Then all finished by @WezV. It's an absolutely stonking guitar.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...but just not my beholding eye I'm afraid.

Can I ask how much £ you have on it?

I can’t remember exact figures but it was in the £1k ballpark, all-in. That’s for the “no compromise” spec - TV Jones, Callaham bridge, Schaller machineheads etc. It’s super-light too, with the semi-hollow body

Every so often I consider selling it - usually just whenever I haven’t played it for a while - but whenever I plug it in I remember why I shouldn’t

That's great, considering Fender is selling the FSR ones for twice as that!

I had the Squier version and sold it for a couple of reasons but still want a better version of it. Rosewood board, bigger neck, nitro if possible...

Yours looks perfect. I'd add a bigsby.
