Custom guitar ordered...
I'm having a guitar built for me by Stol Guitars. It will be similar to a Les Paul, but with a fairly thin mahogany body and Western Maple cap, ebony fretboard with mahogany, maple and rosewood neck. Kinman P-90 pickups will power it up! He really builds some amazing guitars... I'll post phtots in about 6 months when it's finished!

I went to the site and looked at all those gorgeous guitars. If they sound as good as they look, you'll be golden.

They really do sound amazing. He's finishing up a custom guitar for Les Dudek right now and has started gluing the wood for my body.

Oh man that's cool! I love inlays like that!!!

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
Nick, Very cool. P90's are the sland.
What's the scale length going to be?
-
Re: Custom guitar ordered...
We're keeping it more like a Les Paul with a 24 3/4".

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
Oh yeah! That will be sweet. Nice and grindy.

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
Naw - I'm keeping it simple on this one.

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
I just love me my Bigsby's! But then again, I love me some P90s! Can't go wrong, I think at least, with a Gibby styled geetar RAWKIN' some 90s... :D
How long before you take possession of such said beast?

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
You putting Telenators in it?
-
Re: Custom guitar ordered...
Kinman noiseless P-90s - highly recommended by Robert of the Feather. It is going to take 5-6 months, I believe. I'm certainly not going to rush him.

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
cool beans! The SLAND indeed. Keep us in the loop.

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
Hopefully I'll be meeting Telenator there on Saturday to visiit my wood. I'll take phtots! :)

This solve the proverbial dilemma - it has Maple AND Rosewood!!! (and Mahogany).

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
LOL! You're too much. Looks pretty sweet to me, I like that you're going with P90s. Please keep posting update pics, I can't be the only one enjoying them. I'm living vicariously thru you. :D

Mmmmmmmm that's tasty! Just the right amount of "figuring" for me. That already looks killer.

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
Love the top! Figured but not too figured! I don't particularly care for super ultra mega figured tops.

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
Departing from the traditional look by doing a string-thru setup. It will have rosewood pickup covers, matching knobs and binding.... and black hardware.

She sure is puurdee! How much longer before she is done?
-
Re: Custom guitar ordered...
about a month. He was finishing the neck profile (we're copying my ES-335 neck - it's my favorite neck) and binding the body this week and then starting to shoot finish. He said about 3 weeks from then to make sure the finish comes out perfect. The pickup covers are done...

Love the progress shots. I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's finished.
-
Re: Custom guitar ordered...
Latest shot - binding done. He is doing side dot markers and frets today and starting to spray finish (natural) tomorrow.

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
Awesome!
The inlay is just right, not too "flashy" and those pup covers look great.
Another detail, and these are difficult, is the headstock shape.
Perfect, it flows really well.
That top will really pop out when it gets some finish on.
Can't wait to see it.

Re: Custom guitar ordered...
Got word that he is finally able to spray Nitro finish - the heat and humidity dropped enough to put three coats on yesterday and hopefully three more today. He told me that from the time the guitar is sprayed is about 3 weeks until completion! Woo Hoo!:up
