  • Ok, almost done with my quilt soloist...

    A few pics. Have everything done but the wiring, as you can see from the back pic. ;0 Guitar plays great, I'm hoping I can get over my hatred of neck through guitars with this one. The top is maple from a tree that had been hit by lightning and grew kinda weird, ergo the bizarro patterns. I like em better than a more uniform 'regular' top - it's unique.

      Cool backstory on that quilt!

        Wow! I'm not a big fan of trans finishes but I would definitely like to have one like this. That is gorgeous! [img]/images/graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

                I'm not normally a big fan of quilts, but that one's stunning.

                Why do you hate neck-throughs?

                  Thanks guys. Yeah, I'm glad nobody bought it when I had it up for sale when I did.

                  Moro - I like how bolt on guitars feel when you hit notes - they seem to be more immediate than neck throughs or set necks. Just a quirk of mine. I'm hoping the quilt top plus ebony board will give it a little more attack too.

                    Incredible! Is that actually an option? 'I want maple from a lightning tree!'?

                    The neck-thru / bolt-on debate wages on!

                        GOR - Pete had that top added by someone, it's not a Jackson option (though if you can pay for it I'm sure they'd find you one [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img])

                        Nice job, Pete [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

                        Would look sweet with a slight red, blue, or green tint. Nothing too drastic, mind you, but just a touch.

                          Oh, I see! That's definitly a super top with a superstory!

                          I wonder how much that would cost! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                              Gorgeous pirce of wood!

                              You did a great job on that one!

                              Would have been a shame to have painted that beautiful piece of wood.
