NGD - 2010 Custom Shop relic

I gave the frets a polish and oiled the board.

The relic work is amazingly detailed

The back of the neck is sanded down and extremely smooth

I've had a few hours to play it today. My god, I think it is the best guitar I have ever owned. It is so easy to play. I still can't get over how resonant the guitar is, its amazing.

I have been practicing a bit of Jimi, nothing at all mind blowing, but I thought I would post the clips to give you some idea of the tone I'm getting from the guitar through the YJM100 (no matter how bad the playing is ). Both clips are all neck pickup.

The recordings have come out slightly bass heavy.
I have the patch into both volumes, V1 is on 8, V2 is only on 3ish. P4, B4, M5, T6 and I'm using the built in Reverb.

I remember seeing these on the Guitar Village website. She's a beauty. I put a Fatboy minty on my 2010 '59 'burst CS Relic. I think the tort pickguard look great.

9.5/6105 I presume?

 

[db3266]

Yep. 9.5" board and 6105 frets.

for the record, i'd use the entire fatboy setup - the mint green looks incredible

I think an aged white guard would look better. The green is not doing it for me.
