Rabs Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Awesome man.. How does it feel to play and how does it sound is the question? That neck though... Beautiful... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 I can’t say too much about the sound because I can’t crank my amp here at my apartment. It sounds great unplugged. Loud, clear, and spanky. I feel like it’s gonna sound more-Tele like than my American standard Tele because of the bridge and SD broadcaster bridge pickup. I checked that the electronics are all working and that’s fine, but I won’t really hear it till this Wednesday night All my fretwork paid off though. It really performs well across the fretboard. Im also really happy with the finish and consider it a big success overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Awesome.. Good to see someone else trying this stuff.. You can now make what ever guitar with spec that you want exactly.. You need to go for a build with a back and a fancy top now... 🙂 Gives you a chance to do some chambering or al least route for the wiring before the top goes on. I am hoping that 50mm London Plane comes in this week. When it does I will book a workshop day and go at it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 That is really nice Dub. I love the pattern on the back of the neck how it turned out. Great job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have kind of done that before I just didnt put any sound holes in it so you wouldnt know... But one of my next planned builds will have some kind of sound hole.. I am trying to come up with something original but its really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my Casino unplugged sounds more like an acoustic. I played a Lucille in a guitar shop that didn't have that tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do know about sound holes on electric guitars of that it makes them more prone to feedback when playing on stage.

epi-phan Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I can't believe I'm the only person jonesing for an update on the build 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Thanks for your interest. I just moved to a new house so I’ve been really swamped lately. One cool thing is that I now have a garage I can build in at home. I’m going to build a cabinet for my wife this weekend but once I get accommodated and a few chores taken care of I’m jumping back into the guitar builds. I’m really excited about the next build with the 5 piece neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
