So this got delivered today

[C-Grin]

While I am bummed for @DirtySteve that this just did not work for him, maybe it will for me. Thanks bro, it is purdy.
And new old neck on the way from DS also. Hopefully I get some time to work on it, super excited.

Funny you bring it up, I have been pondering that. I am a fan of the Bigs. I wanted to see how this thang was gonna turn out. I had been considering a Les Trem also. I have a p90 I’m gonna put in it but I am also thinking about a p90 size TV jones classic plus, it’s calling to me.

I had a TV classic rolling around and a week ago I stuck it in my Epi Dot and have not put that guitar down since.

Hey what are the chances of doing that wonderland strap, is that still possible?

 

[JohnnyGoo]

The Epi dot is way underrated for the price point.

Looking forward to seeing that finished C-Grin!! Its gonna be a sweet machine when its done..

 

[DirtySteve]

I hope you like the neck as well. IMO it looks like the 2 were made for each other.

I really have my fingers crossed you love it, man. I know I made that comment in my Melody Maker thread (where this all started) about not liking something about the sound of it, but that comment was more in the moment and I didn't go into any detail to put it in context. It had more to do with how I was trying to use the guitars (high gain stuff) and I didn't get into all that reasoning, I didn't think it would ever be something to discuss.

I just want everyone to know that this guitar was 100% my most successful build and I'm seriously stoked that a forum brother has it. I wouldn't have sold it to just anyone, I would have kept it.

It's all good my friend. In my estimation we either have a connection to a guitar or we don't. And much like relationships if we gettin our needs met, don't let the screen door hit ya where the lord split ya . I have a couple like that now myself, and a guitar I don't like either .
BTW it is gorgeous and I sure appreciate you selling it to me, and can't wait to get it together.

Have you test fitted this pickup? It looks like it's either shorter or wider than a normal P90. I'm intrigued by it, I want to try one.

I have not even looked at the specs on the size yet, probably a good idea .

 

[C-Grin]

The neck showed up today and I got er together. The pickup is temporary, i am pretty sure I'm going to get the TV Jones classic plus in p90 form for this. Totally digging how it plays, thanks again @DirtySteve :dood: .
