Guitar done. With case!

[SnikPlosskin]

I got it set up pretty well. Need to get some fret work done but it plays nice. Sounds incredible. I bought a Chinese knock off tweed case and made it look old. I will shellac it tomorrow with an amber tinted shellac, then clear.

Then I’ll toss it around the backyard and driveway. I’ve sanded down the hardware and need something to corrode it.

Axe looks awesome! Let the dogs pee on the case once... that'll do 'er!

Can't wait to see some video of it being played. Excellent work.:seasix:

Good idea. Then I’ll have some drunk chick puke on it. It looked really weird brand new to my eye. Probably because all my shit is 30-55 years old

I’ll see if I can do a short vid tomorrow. This guitar puts out more power than my Les Paul. I.e., louder at same settings. It’s a beast.

fantastic job there!!

[Dan Dlabay]

Looks good. Now play the hell out of it.:seasix::cert:

[69camfrk]

Love it man. Can't wait to hear you play it in a gig.:seasix:

Sounds excellent, Pete. Like a Telecaster, but better is how I would describe it.:seasix:

[JRD77VET]

Hope you're happy with it. It looks great and sounds great too. :yesnod:

I’m just getting used to it. I’d describe it that way to. Like a really old telecaster but tighter, more even, punchier. Really articulated.

[MrPeabody]

Make sure you post a picture of the first belt buckle scratch on the back of it.

I notice you weren't wearing one in the video.:lol:

[SnikPlosskin]

Went too far on the case. Looks like it’s 200 years old.

The sound is really clean... ummm a bit "digital" versus "analog". I bet it has unlimited sustain!

When you punch the button in it sustains like nuts even clean. I’ve changed the EQ since I shot that so it’s not so bright.

Weird thing about the old Deluxes is they don’t have a midrange control. Bass and treble only. So the mids are fixed. To manipulate it, you use the bass and treble knobs for example if you want to scoop the mids, you would turn up bass and treble together. If you want more mids, turn them down about the same. It’s sort of weird.

But I have it set now with bass at around 3 and treble at 4 - so mids are heavier and the really high highs are not as piercing. I also find the tone knob on the guitar to be quite different than a standard tone knob.

It actually boosts treble at the top and bass at the bottom. So if I roll it off just a tad, it really gets smooth. I usually never touch tone knobs on a guitar because it always makes it sound like a sock stuffed in a trumpet.

Not on this thing. Crisp, crisp, crispy goodness. When I add the Ibanez tube screamer (I have a vintage one) it really starts getting interesting. I run at half gain.

Then I have the gonzo distortion I can add on that and another clean boost on that. Then it sounds like Korn.

Looks amazing Pete!

Wish I got to see it in person but the few days I was in TX the 2+ hr drive was just too tight man.

One of these days... :cert:

Awesome!

[SnikPlosskin]

Man I wrecked that cheap case. It looks like it is 1000 years old. Oh well. It was fun trying. I’ll still use it amd suffer the teasing I am certain to get.

[Loco Vette]

Awesome! Go Pete!

If they say it looks a thousand years old, just tell them it's because it's Leif Ericson's guitar case :yesnod:

:leaving:

Better an overly distressed look than brand new :yesnod:

All it needs is some paisley accents to match the guitar. You have the talent and the materials in house.... get busy!
