WITHDRAWN - Guitar £245

impmann

I've recently put this together, but in all honesty I've got nowhere to put it!! So first in, first out...

Its a Ragh semi-acoustic body that I bought from our very own @DrBob ;;;;;. Its a bit thicker than a regular T-type so I've recessed the neck bolts into the joint so they go further into the heel than before. This needs tidying up and finishing off. I also got jiggy with the router and made a hole for a neck humbucker. Again, not the best but its mostly covered by the neck pickup ring.

Its got a Warman 50s style maple neck. This is a big mofo and really nicely finished. The nut hasn't been cut down yet, as I've been playing slide on it but its bone and could come down a touch.

Neck pickup is a very excellent Vanson 57 PAF and the bridge is a very nice Luker broadcaster type. Combined with the swanky Schroeder bridge this rings like a bell. The volume pot is a dual value job (Fender/CTS) so the pot values are correct for both the humbucker and the single, and it has a push pull pot for the tone to split the bucker.

Its cost me a few squid-oolies to put together and all I'm asking is for most of it back... so £245 delivered buys it. 

I've just tried uploading pics to IMGUR but the computer says "no" (*coughs*). I'll try to add some later. But as an experiment, I thought I'd stick a video up of what it sounds like. Its a bit rough and ready (like me really) but you should get the idea...

Sooo... IMGUR won't accept HEIC format right now... nice... so I've converted the pics to JPEG and here they are:





I meant to say, its a lovely thing - and it plays nicely. I'm sure it could be finessed a little more. Open to trades for pedals (they take up less space)... I like delays, odd stuff, you name it really... Or you're welcome to come and give it a whirl and collect from near Kettering, Northants should you wish.

Any questions please ask. :-)

Bumping... changed the title to see if it attracted more than the six views this advert had in the first two days...

GoldenEraGuitars

For maximum exposure around here change the title to “free werthers originals” 

Have a free bump

I'm not sure views number against a post is necessarily accurate - I seen mention of a bug with forum software.

Ah... interesting. Thanks

Were longer bolts not an option?

To be fair, his solution has given a solution pretty close to fenders radiused body upper fret access improvement.

Possibly… but hey, power tools!  :-)

Very cool...would love to see the clip you posted. Am I missing a trick, but cannot see the video?

impmann

It should be visible… anyone else having problems? It’s not set to private just ‘not listed’

If you edit a post after adding a vid it stops it working. Try editing and adding the link again.

Thanks!

No worries, vid sounds good although I would have preferred it through your old cranked AC30’s

I may try something with a bit more drive/oomph as the bridge pickup sounds a little thin on my phone… it’s quite a pokey unit so that’s got lost in translation somewhere.
If I get some time to myself, I’ll see what I can do…

Better video... a little more 'hair' but same jumper.

Bumpage - may consider splitting it out if there's any/enough interest. Or trades for smaller stuff welcomed.

If you do part it out I'd be interested in the bridge plate
