Re: Strat Project Diary
At least the strings go on straight :thumbsup: EDITED - SHOULD HAVE BEEN 2 DIFFERENT PICTURES - DOH! 100_2593sm.jpg 100_2592sm.jpg They even line up pretty well with the pup polepieces. I'm glad I went for the narrower string width though - there's very little margin for error. Just had some fun thi...

Re: New Gibson Les Paul Studio Deluxe
Nice one BBP. Looks in great nick and at a good price too.
Look forward to hearing it!
Is it the one with the coil tap? I seem to recall there being something like that which was different to the usual studio.

Re: Two Chord Challenge
I like it a lot B2M. :thumbsup: If anyone "cheated" it was me bunging in vocals - there's no way I could have just done guitar (and just one guitar at that) for 5 minutes. There's very fluent and fluid playing in your version, great imaginative playing, and it's very bluesy too which I fou...

Re: Strat Project Diary
That tint on the neck is beautiful. I must prefer the darker tints versus the clear ones on maple necks. Matches the body better and it gives it some great shine. Thanks LB. That was what I thought when I saw it. Can't wait to hear her sing. I'm keeping everything crossed she does sing and not make...

Re: Two Chord Challenge
I like the Bird cage tune. I even tried it at 150% speed on Windows media player (no, it won't make it into bird noises, as it stays is the same pitch, just speeds up), to make it more poppy. Weelie - that's a great idea. :clap: The Robert Johnson treatment!! I don't know whether it is just my reco...

Re: Strat Project Diary
I'd be interested in the total cost of the guitar when finished, as I harbour thoughts of such a project. Remind me at the end if I forget to say. Though if it sounds rubbish I might not want to say! :shy: Keep up the good work! (ex-teacher talking). :clap: Beats "Must try harder". :big_s...

Re: Strat Project Diary
Cheers Strummer. :thumbsup: It's an odd mixture of feelings of bafflement, rage, sudden realisations, and satisfaction. Oh .. and sore hands. :sad: The neck is now on to the extent it lines up OK for the bridge. :roll: Until I get the strings on under tension I can't be 100% sure on intonation and s...

Re: G Major Pentatonic (Two chord challenge)
Mighty idea... did some testing... but I run to a problem... after 45 secs I had no more ideas to play :whistle: So how looooooong's the BT, or will it be a team work? I hope it's a TW :big_smile: Pena It's over 4 minutes. :yikes: If you want to start one off - I'll join in and we can see if anyone...

Re: Strat Project Diary
HBL, Pena, LzyBlue - thanks. :D I hope desperately that it fits together easily for neck angle, intonation, etc, without too much messing around - I'm not keen on a long struggle. :wall: It had better sound half decent too - although it won't cost as much as a MIM Strat it will be quite a bit pricie...
