Seriously, this goldfoil pickup is one of the best pickups I've used. It is so open and uncompressed sounding. I'm primarily a fingerpicker and play a lot of slide, and having something this dynamic and microphonic works so well with my playing style. And the middle position makes my ear pussies so goddamn moist. Mmmm. It's like a Danelectro lipstick pickup with extra balls.
And since this got the solid rosewood neck that i made a few months ago, with no truss rod, and has a very nicely fitting neck pocket, the whole body and neck resonate in a really pleasant way when it's played. It's like playing a nice acoustic guitar where you can feel every note.
It looks amazing, can't wait to hear some sounds. I love that pickguard too!

As promised, quick and shitty iphone video. Some pseudo-Frisell wankery and an Earth rip-off riff.

Thanks! I'll try to get something a little longer recorded this weekend to show off a little more of what it can do.
Also just weighed it. 6.4 pounds, which is half of what my Les Paul weighs. My shoulder is very happy.

So I mentioned that I had some leftover wood from my guitar, and I also dug a pine 4x4 out of the basement. Two of my friends liked how my guitar turned out and expressed interest in having their own, which has lead to
And
More to follow.

Holy hell that LPJ.
You are really good this. So if I eat your heart do I gain this power or just like physical strength and fortitude?

Hey, I don't do anything that you can't do with some basic handtools and some old wood.
If you were to eat my heart, you would likely just gain existential dread and suicidal tendencies.
