Can I show off my guitars here?

[Matt White]

Wow! I want one!

You could make some SERIOUS drug music with one of those....or a PORN sound track if you added some Wha!!!

Gotta love the character limit...it actually says "post assembly" but shows up "post ass"

HA! Love the evil Beavis & Butthead style laugh at the start. Would make a good ring tone.

Thanks! The body cleaned up pretty nice for being in storage since 1987, huh?

Sooo... audio clip imminent anytime soon?

You know this...

Sooo... audio clip imminent anytime soon?

Probably this weekend...I've been working on it in spurts, time permitting...had a wiring issue that I got resolved last night, but it was already 11:00PM by the time I got done, so will do the intonation tonight or tomorrow depending on how beat I am after work tonight...and will have to use the laptop cam (and decide whether or not I want to show my mug here) since the PC with Pro Tools is currently down. I could tell just from knocking around on it last night the Porter pickups aren't quite as "low" output as I figured they'd be...already does not sound shabby! The Brass FU block is (of course) a huge improvement even acoustically from what I remember it sounding like in my 20s...way louder and punchier for certain. But I cannot say enough about the new Boogie Bodies neck...never thought I'd find somethihng I like more than my Warmoth's but he took the specs to it and made the back profile a hair thinner - not "wizard" neck thin but verrrrrry nice, and the action is unbelievably low with no buzzing or choking out on bends. Finally the neck it deserved all these years.
This turning out to be a cool blend of vintage and modern parts...plus, since I've got such a long history with the body, feels like getting reacquainted with an old girlfriend...one who's been heavily...augmented since the last time you saw her.

[jhale667]

Oh, WOW...!

No webcam at home at the moment... Will try to draft someone over the weekend to hold the Blackberry cam while I give these two a workout, but here's another sneak peak at the completed Charvel/KnE "Bomber"...




While the Kramer sounds good, this thing blows it out of the water...turns out a Titanium block in Ash beats the shit out of a Brass block in Alder..WHO KNEW?

Personally, I still can't figure out how a Ti-block in bare mahogany has more mojo than a Brass-block in primered/painted mahogany...

Wait a minute...

Think you just answered your own question there... bare mahogany is gonna breathe better number 1, and the Ti just has that little extra "oomph" that the Brass doesn't.

[Hardrock69]

Right on, man!

Yeah, that's a fail for me.

But keep in mind, though, that the painted one has a couple of bare spots. (the spring cavity and the trem cavity... Hell, I've borrowed so much from EVH, why not one more thing?) Still, the nudie prevails...

I had those painted, but DID borrow the idea of leaving the neck cavity bare from EVH...funny, when I asked Jeff to do that he was like "Oh yeah - I was going to anyway!"

[jhale667]

Still no chance to record "you are there" vids, but got some nice outdoor shots done this weekend...

Very Metal Jay!
