Whilst the acoustic undergoes some settling in under the ToneRote ...
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-C...2/IMG_3895.JPG Somebody has to verify the electronic gizmos work https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-l...0/IMG_3900.JPG Hey, its a tough job ... but somebody's got to do it, right? |

Lovely, lovely guitars. Not a fan of a burst, as you well know, but gracious, these are gorgeous siblings you've built, Tim. As always: Fantastic work. And what a treat to follow the build so thoroughly on this site. |
Oops, perhaps that post was more influenced by my 1611 King James reading? Glad thee saw a jot or tittle of old world English literary humor Professor ;) We Morralites aim to encourage a smile and brighten thou day in some small way.

Sorry I can't credit Mark but my right hand was only influenced by a wood chisel and sand paper. I'm just a professional saw dust maker and regrettably bear no resemblance to a real guitar playa' ;) |
ToneRite is done. Now its time for some final details:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-z...0/IMG_3920.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-f...0/IMG_3927.JPG We provide each owner a set of saddle shims should they need to tweak the action? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M...8/IMG_3921.JPG We set the action pretty low when shipping and the saddle shims provide the owner some adjustment should they need to raise it? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3...0/IMG_3929.JPG .070" at the little e and ,090" at the big E is our standard set up when it leaves here: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-i...0/IMG_3930.JPG |
Commercial break:

As for MY playing, I might have been a butcher in an earlier life.... |
At the last minute our customer decided he wanted to add a third pickguard (Black & white) so we quickly whittled one out:

That tele looks fantastic, Tim! I'd play that. How does it sound? I'm curious about those pickups with that wood config.

Thanks for this thread. I love Olive wood and I don't think I have enjoyed a build thread more than this one.

This thread is winding down to the end. Here we are just setting up the highly technical and innovative McPhoto studio for a few high res pics before shipping the sisters to the left coast:

Smile and say CHEESE: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o...2/IMG_4029.JPG This is an all time favorite moment when we take final pictures of the customer's guitar. Usually [Mary] can stay back out of the way, but this time I definitely notice she is here. Can you read those facial expressions and body language all the way from California? Good thing for her that I can't fire her. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D...0/IMG_4027.JPG |
Way past the 300 post limit. Please start a new thread.
