I've been fiddling with a "logo" idea for a while. Keep going back and fourth between two ideas. 1) C3 Guitars (Chris Cote' Custom) or 2) Wolfs'Tone Guitars (since for years most of my friends have called me "the wolf")

I also thought about adding an oak veneer to the headstock and giving it the same "burnt honey" finish.

But in all honesty I'm waiting to plug it in and see how it sounds before deciding how much "extra" I'll put into it It was an experiment with wood, and I haven't heard much good about oak. Strung up I was pleasantly surprised at how loud it was and seemed to resonate forever. Def seems like a keeper, but at the very worst, the oak matches my living room and will make one hell of a wall decoration

Right now its on its second coat of clear, doing some of the wiring as well

Looks awesome except for that poker chip! The oak headstock veneer would look great too!

How does it sound?!

Thanks man!!!

I Like the poker chip personally And I'm thinking the veneer is def gonna happen when I do the nut

Soundwise: A lot of sustain, huge low end, some good highs, but the midrange is a little lacking in all honesty. If you're one of the metal players that scoop the mids right out of the eq, then this would be the guitar for you. May just be the pups that I have in it (GFS rails) and I want to get a bone nut to replace the locknut that's on there now. I Love the neck pup. Sounds like a strat with the neck and middle pup on. The bridge is more responsive to pick attack then I expected. Picking hard and close give a nice tele bite and twang, backing off mellows it right out.

I have some GFS rails in my LP and they have that sound too. Hard for me to get used to considering I'm not a metal guy. Still I love the build, really cool idea to combine such a traditional guitar with such a modern neck and appointments.
