The crazy thing about that guitar.... Neck material: Maple (brite) Body material: Maple (brite) Fretboard mat.: Ebony (brite) Electronics: 100% Gibson Les Paul (Pots., caps., switch, pickups, everything) Yet the sound and tone of this guitar warm & smooth. Roll the volume off...

Thanks, but it seems to come easy to me. I've done woodworking since 1979 when I was in 7th. grade. After I graduated high school I kind of got away from it a little, but always has a little project here or there. I didn't get into guitar building until a few years ago and I just love it...

Thanks Rx. If you look at the threads and read what I've posted, you'll see these don't just fall together. lol I run into problems just like everyone else, but you need to find a way to make it work with the tools you have. As for the ppl at Fender-Talk... There are some great people there...

I'm not sure what you mean by "kick". As for the wood I picked out... Flamecaster Mahogany: Larry at Gallery Hardwoods. Great guy to deal with and the wood he sent me was fantastic. The tap tone was great. Maple: Ebay Beatnick Mojocaster Mahogany and Maple: Ebay Les Paul: Maple: Ebay...

Shop? :what Um, no shop really, I work out of my basement. All of my wood working tools are there. As far as the build threads, I can help you out there... Flamecaster http://forum.fendertalk.com/showthread.php?11026-B-rad-s-Blog-O-Rama...-The-Trials-and-Tribulations Beatnik Mojocaster...

Keeping it alive.....bump

One's enough, but thanks. :AOK

I did the final work on the Sensei and got her strung up. I needed to ground all of the pots together. I finished that, and put the cover on it. Here are a few other pictures for your enjoyment... A friend of mine is in a band. I took the guitar over to one of the last practices...

That bridge is NICE and neat looking. The reason I put it on there is because it is fully adjustable. It's a Hipshot Baby Grand. I like it. That guitar sings and sustains forever. The bridge has a lot to do with that I think.

Funny you should say that about a Strat. The Flamecaster.... The guy who has it right now had me back the middle pick up back 6 full turns which puts it right above the body. He loves it now, and he may be on stage with it this Saturday evening.

I dont know about that. On the awesomeness scale I use it measured 675 the last time I checked it, but it could need recallibrated... (But thank you for the kind words).

Thanks for the kind words all. They all sound different, since I had that goal in mind when I was in the designing stage for each. I wanted to make a guitar that sounded as good as the last, but different, and I pulled it off. The sound of each varies as much as the look. Guitarhack: I am A...

Sumi & Tig, thanks for the kind words, that means a lot to me. It's kind of hard to show things to people because of the rejection factor or someone digging you about it becuase they don't like it. To each his own but thanks. Tig, I went over to the Fret Palyers section and posted there. I...

Hey all! I just signed up for the forum and I have to say I like what I've found so far. I have a post in the Other Brands, (Reverend), of the Instruments section. Please check it out. I usually lurk, post a little bit to get my two cents in when I feel the urge on other forums. I sort of...

I know this isn't a true Reverend guitar, but my nephew is getting it as a Christmas present. I have made a few guitars now and he wanted me to make him one. The one he wanted was a Reverend Sensei. What do you think?
