... and not a standard, or a gibson amongst them.
Also a kitten learning the joys of untrimmed guitar strings.
Left to right:
* an alternative reality LP custom. I started building this 2 years ago, then life went crazy and it went into storage... Nice to have it nearly done. Its fully chambered and has mini-hums
*my furlough project. Built like an acoustic arch top, but LP sized. Fully hollow and hand carved inside and out
*my first LP style build from a while back, parts get swapped every so often. Its pancake style construction from old stock mahogany
*a Chinese kit I used for practicing finishing. Tomato soup burst, lightly aged
*my John birch restoration. Solid maple and 25.5" scale length... its a great guitar, even if its unfashionable in every way

Are they Feline guitars?

I like the way your cat looks taken aback by the sight of these stringed objects....
The hollowbody is not my kind of thing at all, but it looks fantastic.
The hollowbody is a bit of an odd one. Its built almost like a proper acoustic archtop, but I wasn't expecting much from the acoustic tone as the top is maple rather than spruce, its much smaller, and the f-holes are quite narrow which can choke acoustic efficiency. It sounds great though. very clear and bell like on single note runs, quite raucous when strummed hard. The acoustic volume obviously isn't great, but the tone is much better than I hoped and it translates well when plugged in.
that one is definitely not going anywhere. its a great guitar, but the shape was slightly off and the early relic finish isn't great. good excuse to keep it for myself It originally had the mini-hums in the LPC, but I was keen to try the staples when the LPC got delayed. I did consider swapping back to make the LPC a little more 50's, and take the pancake one back to 70's
