jer7440 Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Very nice! Great work! I wish I could speak French so I could read your descriptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmitoale Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) Very nice! Great work! I wish I could speak French so I could read your descriptions. ← There are still the pictures. So it is mahogany for the body and neck. Ebony for the fingerboard and a little piece of rosewood for the "peghead".

ZoSo_Spencer Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) Nice, very nice indeed 2 - things i may wish to point out - the binding looks slightly wobbly around the area of the pickup selector where it meets the neck is it me or the pictures?? also the bridge pickup mounting ring looks like it has been put on in reverse - it looks as if you have put the lowest part of the ring towards the bridge.... ***EDIT*** i just realised that the pickup was on reverse becuase it was just a show picture with hardware on ***EDIT*** lovely guitar - bet it sounds great - what kinda pickups u have in it??

AlGeeEater Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Nice, very nice indeed 2 - things i may wish to point out - the binding looks slightly wobbly around the area of the pickup selector where it meets the neck is it me or the pictures?? ← Thats the carve near the pickup selector. It carves kinda down towards the binding giving it a wobbly look, i think lol. Very clean work. Awesome job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmitoale Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Yes, i'll sand a little more the binding near the pickup selector to make it smoother. On the last picture the mounting ring wasn't screwed (not sure of the word), but if you look at the 3rd one it is in the right way. Thanks guys. Ps : because I was short of money at the time I launched this project, I bought Stewmac pickups. For my next project I think I'll use Seymour pickups (It will be an SG).

Primal Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Looks GREAT, especially the fretboard. VERY clean. I'm considering a Les Paul as my next project (so many things I want to do, I keep changing my mind! lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmitoale Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 My LP is finished. There are some pictures. When I'll have some time, I'll do samples... by the way, the 2 things ZoSo_Spencer are OK now. There are a lot of little misteakes because it's my First guitar, I hope the next one will be better (SG-like, 24 cases, neck through, sipo (kind of mahogany) for body and 3 ply ash and 2 Sipo for the neck). And as you can see on the picture below, I have bought enough wood to build some other guitars. I am already thinking of a Tele-like project.

marksound Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Great work. I love that color (and I'm really picky about red guitars). The only thing that bothers me is the carve at the switch and the cutaway. That stacked binding kinda stuck out. I don't know what I'd do different, but that's what caught my eye.

i-j-c Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Great work...colour is very nice. You've put a great deal of effort into that...and it's worthit. I went and had a good browse through that forum - palmitoales work and others...amazing work! Nice guitars in the gallery.. The rest of that forum is also very good...they seem to just get on and talk guitar..no bitchiness! <<edit>> Whilst it is on the same subject...have a look at the finsih another member of that forum got on this Paul HERE - looks like marble come abalone...very nice indeed.

GregP Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Good work! I royally effed up my block inlays (OK, not royally, but a little) and now I have to consider re-doing the whole fretboard. Looking at yours is telling me I should, because you did such a good job that it makes the whole guitar look great. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gun Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Great job as first attempt I hope mine will be too And yes.... the first time there are a lot of things you forget about. It's very easy to make a mistake, anyway it is finished and looks great!!! P.S. I guess Kevan will kill you if he sees your post with all those pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Nooooo.... you did that axe and do you let a StewMac PUs on? Please pull out those and mount a couple of Seymour Duncan!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
