    So this is happening and I'm so excited



    Nice simple lines
    Once I get the sustainiac in  there will be a couple more switches and maybe one more pot...not sure whether to have an intensity control or a possible tone pot.

    Thinking Mans Axis or the LP Axcess Gibson should have built ?

    You keep making these fine-looking thin-bodied singlecuts! 

    I think you should add that "The Paul"-alike to this thread.  Very curious to see how that turns out.

    The Feline Lion Cub HH "The Paul"
    Once again it was me trying to shoehorn a flying V into a comfy "sit on the couch and play" LP junior type guitar (hence the control layout).
    Ratio tuners
    Earvana nut
    Suhr Aldrich pickups
    Tonepro bridge and tailpiece studs
    Aluminium tailpiece
    Neck is 21.5mm at 1st fret and 23mm at 12th (43mm wide at nut and 57mm at last fret)
    Dunlop 6000 fretwire

    Time for some new Feline Vs I think....
    First up is another of our V58 models 

    Ignore the masking tape - we're just laying out the bridge and tailpiece locations






    Should we go with the BKP Mules we originally intended or maybe try the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Joe Bonnamassa Signature set for his Korina V called "Amos"?

    Some more Korina V madness - this time based on our V80 shape - slimmer shape with no pickguard and input jack in the inside of the upper fin in a strat jackplate>

    We decided to give these Feline V80s a different choice in pickups from the typical all humbucker route. 
    One is pure P90 tone driven, and they other is a hybrid with a bridge humbucker and a neck position P90


    This V80 is something of a hybrid with a bridge humbucker and a neck postion P90.
    The split V chevron inlays give a unique twist to it as well .
    What colour should we go for though...bear in mind we may well use cream pickups



    This V80 is pure P90 tone driven with a pair of BKP Nantuckets lined up to go into it.
    We were thinking that a goldtop colour scheme could be quite appropriate too to mimic the goldtop Les Paul it shares some styling with .
    What do you think?

    Some more movement on the V80 Korina Vs



    An @OilCityPickups  Jingo P90 at the neck and a @OilCityPickups Transonic at the bridge giving a cool early 80s appeal to the look of this one.

    Not sure about the knob colour but we were thinking about possibly doing it with a goldtop finish on the front and natural on the back.
    Pickups are Bare Knuckle Nantuckets
    Controls are 2 volumes and a tone and a 3 way switch



    Real Mother of Pearl inlays on the front and black tahiti pearl dots in the ivoroid binding


    Jack socket for both these guitars is on the inside of the upper fin

    So we recently completed a build for Ross @webrthomson ; on this forum with an amazing piece of redwood that he supplied
    We went with an alder body with that redwood cap.
    Neck is a 3 piece maple with a rosewoodboard
    A Bill Lawrence tele rails pickup and a Mojo staple P90 capture all the tone

    We are about to have a bit of a huge clearout as our Landlord on the warpath about our place being cluttered and needing to be repainted like new again, so we may be having something of a "if it’s not bolted down we may sell it off”.
    Expect us to be listing odd bits in the classifieds….
