Completed Electric Guitar (pic heavy)

[Knottscott]

This is a hard tail electric guitar made for my oldest son....my 2nd guitar, and 2nd completed project of the year. The front is curly maple with green dye, the body is ash painted black. The finish is lacquer. Those interested in details of the build can find more info here. Completion time was about a month...roughly 70 hours. There are still a few adjustments to be made, and I need to fit cover for the jack, but it's working well so far.

Wow. It looks great.

[Shep]

So the question is how does it sound?

[KenBurris]

Looks great, Scott

is that beautiful body blinding me ? I don't see any strap pins

[lrogers]

We need a You Tube link so we can how that beauty sounds. The green dyed maple is very nice.

[Knottscott]

So the question is how does it sound?

Shep - It's sounding pretty good early on...still a few adjustments to make, but I'm encouraged.

Scott, that turned out great. If it sounds as good as it looks there will be no problems at all.

Sound Wave File

For those requesting a sound byte, here are a couple of crude recordings of a green horn playing a green guitar! The first file is recorded clean, the 2nd with the distortion gain at 10. The sequence for both starts with the neck pickup, then mid/neck, mid, mid/bridge, and bridge. The poor resolution of the recording process masks quite a bit of character differences, but it'll give you an idea of how it sounds.

Clean sound

Dirty sound

It turned out great.

How much money do you have in it?
