Harvester Guitars

[odontophobia]

goddamnn.

[coldbrightsunlight]

That guitar is HAWT. And PURPLE SPARKLES can only make it better.

[backwardsvoyager]

thanks dudes. the body and neck are sanded and the frets are installed now, so paint will be a matter of days. I can barely sleep

[kosta]

Dude, that thing is gonna rule so hard....

[backwardsvoyager]

I CAN ALMOST TASTE IT

[Holy Schnikes]

So good! You getting Mastery hardware?

[backwardsvoyager]

So good! You getting Mastery hardware?

yeah, there's a mockup on the previous page. backwards mastery vibrato and the bridge in the polished finish. i was originally gonna get a staytrem with the trem arm and an AVRI bridge but he got the special mastery gear so i splurged on that. i think the backwards plate looks better with the behind the bridge pickup, otherwise i'd have gone for the normal shape.

[goosekevin]

it looks so smooth and rounded which i adore
this is gonna be a very cool guitar

OMMFG, I'm not sure I can even look at this thread anymore.

This's giving me major GAS.

backwardsvoyager, do you know about how much it's gonna weigh?

[backwardsvoyager]

the way its contoured is a bit different to normal, more wide and rounded on the front. the whole body is a liiiittle bit thinner than a normal jazzmaster too.
i'm really impressed with how nicely everything seems to be sanded and filled considering the whole body and neck are just gonna be smothered in purple anyway.

[backwardsvoyager]

backwardsvoyager, do you know about how much it's gonna weigh?

i'm not actually sure so i'll ask Anthony soon but it will probably weigh as much as a normal american jazzmaster whatever that would be, even with a slightly slimmer profile i think the silkwood body is supposed to be similar to maple. which is heavier or something. i'm not very knowledgeable about this I like heavy-ish guitars like my squier j mascis so i was aiming for a similar weight to that. not a back-breaker but not light i'm guessing.

[Chankgeez]

Nice, thanks, yeah, it doesn't look like it'll be too light.

I tend to like lighter guitars. It's probably gonna weigh too much for me. So, it's a good thing you're getting it and not me.

It's gonna be awesome though. I can't wait to hear what you say after you play it.

[backwardsvoyager]

i'm sure he could do a similar thing with lighter weight timbers regardless if you were wanting something like that. for me it's like heavier guitars anchor in place more or something, whenever i play a really light guitar it's like i'm trying to hold it in place

and thanks dude, i'm sure i'll have plenty to say about it, i want to put as much info on ILF as possible so everyone here knows what to expect if they place an order. i was considering a couple of other builders but i've been really happy with this so far.

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, I really need to start saving up for my first Harvester.

mmmmmmmm ...

it's pissssing rain melbourne town so i can't paint anything.

purple soon.
very purple, very soon.

thanks for your patience andrew.
i'm really enjoying making another set neck offset - i made a bunch of these 5 or 6 years ago and then i got lost on an aluminium tangent for a while there ...

* this will probably weigh around 8 lbs total is my guess.
i'll whack it on the scales with all the mastery and novak goodness piled on top and check the weight soon.
