hellz yeah, thanx guys

Awesome! I want to build a through-neck laminate guitar

Oh yeah i forgot to mention it is gonna be a neckthru!
I'm ~5'5" so the short scale works out great:


I've held off on "officially" being a musician until I get this in my hands. Then it's all over

Looks awesome.

I always thought neck through meant the centrepiece of the body was the same piece as the neck, otherwise it'd be a set neck or have I missed out on something?

The boss showed me the Neck blank for the Huff Prototype 5 string that he's working on for me. I'll be getting a bass in lieu of pay for my efforts at the shop (a paycheck will come eventually,...but I'm stoked to be getting a new instrument out of the deal,...my 11lb Warwhack is beginning to take it's toll on my back). I've also seen the templates for the production body design. So far the only thing I've settled on is a birdseye maple fingerboard.

Here is the Warwhact:



No I do not play metal.

Nice!
What's up with the neck pickup in those? What is it?

I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands, free of charge...
Someone has to save you from yourself!

You are absolutely right, my man. It is in fact a set-neck and not a neck-through. My bad!
But what's really cool is, mine is only the second set-neck "benchmade" one they've built.
Everything before that was bolt-on, and most of their models still continue to be so.



So mine will end up looking a lot like this
but with maple stripes in place of the black ones greeting the neck like that




instead of looking like this (with them sturdy sturdy bolts)

Nice!
What's up with the neck pickup in those? What is it?

As far as I'm aware, both pickups are from here:
http://www.lacemusic.com/electric_picku ... ickups.php
With the Neck being #2 "Hot Gold" Sensor series, and Bridge looking like #13 "Drop and Gain."

Lace is an American company and they do things a little differently, but essentially it's
a strat or tele -style "single coil" (-ish) neck p-up and a modified 'bucker style p-up at the bridge.

Scott may do something special to them once he gets them, I honestly do not know.

The Varitone thing is a neat take on the standard tone-knob circuit, swapping for a
rotary chickenhead knob that cuts more high frequency with each successive position.


Here's the site, though, for those interested in more details / pretty pics
http://www.birdsongguitars.com A pretty thorough and friendly website.
They also make five-strings now! And they do a variation on the fender p-bass. Go check it out!
He used to have a way more densely populated gallery, but the company's actually getting bigger.
Dude's real cool to talk with, too, not just about bizness but about music, life, whatever . . .

Birdsong Guitars - Sadhana (sanskrit for 'spiritual practice')
31"-scale four-string bass with a maple neck,
24-fret bloodwood fingerboard, will have black hardware.
Body, a mahogany center under a matching bloodwood top,
two maple stringers and walnut wings. Macassar ebony headstock veneer,
there will be a matching control plate on the front with custom knobs
(2 volume knobs and a 6-position Varitone circuit to cut frequencies).
All in all, three grand. Never been so stoked in my entire life.

yikes!!!!

Vintage Modified Jazz is COOL! LP DC ROCKS!

[warwick.hoy]

That's a badass LPDC man.

That and the Tele is going to be inspiration for one of the guitars I'll be helping to put into production in a few months.

[magiclawnchair]

i dig that lpdc!

LOOK WHAT I GOT YESTERDAY....



1998 Hamer Phantom! the pups are duncans but i am not sure which ones. the bucker sounds a bit like the jb4 that i have in another guitar but a bit more gainy maybe...

this thing is sweet!

[warwick.hoy]

I love it!!! The pickup impresses me MLC. I want an LPDC with an HH pup setup.

Can someone tell me what Gibson called the color of the LPDC that richey posted? Is it butterscotch like the OG Teles?
