SOLD: Cherry Red DC Junior

IvisonGuitars

Wow! Many thanks for all the kind words chaps, the reaction certainly bodes well and gives me confidence for the new project! 

This is still available....at the moment. Although I'm starting to have doubts as I haven't put it down since completing it and should I really move on #001??

Your build thread inspired me to order a kit. If I'd known you were going to sell it, I might not have bothered..

Lovely.  Into trades?

Up for sale is my DC Junior build.

Total disclosure here:

This guitar is a prototype for a line of Junior style guitars I am in the process of developing with a luthier pal of mine. I bought this with the sole intention of replicating the Aniline Dye Cherry stain of the original 50's juniors and lacquer cracking processes.

The guitar itself was made by Graham Pollard of GSP Basses (who also builds guitars for a well respected forum member's company) and is of particularly hi-end quality.

To this end, all parts are top spec also. Many parts were imported from MojoAxe in the US at considerable cost.

It was finished by myself with aniline dyes and 100% nitrocellulose finish. The build thread can be found HERE.

Neck shape is a little slimmer than the classic '59, not a 60's slim though.

Spec is:

GSP Mahogany Body & Neck

Faber Compensated Wraparound Bridge - Aged

MojoAxe Vintage Spec 1/2 x 7/8" long Bushings - Aged

MojoAxe Vintage Spec Studs - Aged

MojoAxe Tortoise Shell Pickguard - Aged & Darkened

MojoAxe Pointer Washers - Aged

Genuine Gibson USA strapbuttons.

Kluson Tuners - Aged

Oil City Firewatch P90 pickup - Aged

Shugzloomz CTS Pots and reproduction Grey Tiger cap with Switchcraft jack.

The finish is Cherry aniline dye so WILL fade just like the original 50's juniors if left in sunlight for long periods of time. The nitro has lots of crazing, which I think is very authentic and has a few nicks and dings - call it a 'Played Closet Classic' if you will! There is a very slight amount of fade currently but I have decided to let the next owner decide how far he/she wishes to take it. The only thing left to do is fit a truss rod cover.

There is no logo on the guitar so the new owner can add their own if desired.

By the way, I used it at a show last night and it SCREAMS!! 

I'm looking for £650 which is nowhere near the sum of the parts, i'm just looking to fund more builds. 

Gorgeous Build by GSPB ( Is this the guy who actually designs/builds Feline guitars?)

Nope.

Okay.

To give the less abrupt answer, Feline Guitars are built by Jonathan Law.  Have a look round the forum and you'll find lots of his posts and pictures of his work.

It is poppet, no prob, innit, ;-)

Poppet yourself.

@Doug I'm afraid @Philly_Q is mistaken as GSP builds some, if not all the Feline guitars which Jonathan then takes and works his magic on.

Philly_Q

OK, I apologise for the misunderstanding.  I'd better quit this thread before I dig myself a bigger hole.

Graham Pollard does indeed build exceptional Quality Guitars and Feline Guitars produce a Sublime finished Instrument!
