TGwaH Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 What are you doing entering that in GOTM? Up until now my vote was decided, it was open and shut. Now you're making me think?! How dare you... I hope you're pleased with yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I have 1 x guitar thats not listed on the website which just might be the GOTM entry. Or it could be this one. Or both. Or neither Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLOAD Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 WOW, dan was telling me about this the other week, fantastic work perry, LOVE IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xebryusguitars Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Haha why dont you update us with the pictures already??? They're already on your website anyways ← Because im not finished with it yet. When its finished, you can see the REAL pics ← Haha I guess this is where you would say "assume, its makes an a** outta you and me" I just thought because there were sound clips of the guitar, it meant it was pretty much done. Well cant wait to see it completely finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivin Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 The soundclip guy had the guitar for freakin ages But yeah, perry still had a bit of work to do once he got it back from him. That said though, I've made my last payment and paid for postage, so I will have it soon! Muahhaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jivin Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 What, you mean in like sheer agony over the unbearable suspense?

And then you can shred away on the most killer guitar i have EVER seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Exceptional as always, Perry, and GG's sound clip is amazing (although I think he could make a cat food can and spork sound good ). Just one question: is the low E string ferrule on the back a different color than the rest? Sorry, could just be my old man eyes. http://www.monaro.com.au/guitars/diary/Cus...st/IMG_3324.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Yes it is. Good spotting. I had the ferrules put aside for nearly twelve months, and then when i opened the packet, only five were in there. The next batch arrive tuesday, but i'll be sending the guitar to Dan before then, he is bursting to get it I'll chuck it in the mail for him.

jay5 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!! Superstrats are not my thing but man, the details here really do it for me. Can you explain the banjo frets to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 They are thinner, so leave more room for fingers where the fret spacing is narrower up the fretboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I agree w/ Jay, I'm not one for crazy looking guitars much anymore, and the distressed hardware actually distresses me, but the techniques and the IDEAS and then the execution involved surely raise that guitar to an exalted Platinum status inDEED Also, the attention to detail in the neatness of the wiring in the cavity is absolutely Grade AAA+++. Beautiful Job Perry, very professional and I stand and raise the Drak 5-Star Salute to you! (Ehh, how's that Australian National Anthem go again?)

guitar2005 Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 (edited) This is one of my favorites from the Project Guitar forum. Amazing work. One of these things I noticed in this build though is that the neck looks like a bolt on construction but is glued in. Is that right? I'm working a some set neck guitars right now and never thought of doing it that way. It would mean building the neck with less wasted wood.

Digideus Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Wow! Surely one of the finest Superstrats ive seen in years. Do Jackson ever get "funny" about their designs being copied...

And, luckily, they only go after the bigger guys... or in the latest case, really really short midgetty fellas that live in hot cities But, Jackson is now Fender, so i imagine things will change soon, Fender are ruthless...

guitar2005 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I like the way this guitar is a string through with the standard ferrules in the back and the way the strings come out on the face of the guitar. What exactly are those things on the face of the guitar? Hollow tubes? Is that something I can get in a hardware store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightLamp Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 They are string through ferrules.
