I've never played an Eko, I've read somewhere that the wood is thicker than average acoustic guitars they're heavy and sound a bit crap. Though I'm drawn to them due to the bolt on neck (shimmable) and height adjustable bridge. I've owned a few cheap crappy acoustic guitars with set necks and all of...

It might not be at that time, but when he removes the pickups they are clearly marked up as Seymour Duncans.

*edit*
Look at 1:42 and 1:57

I'm pretty sure this job would be done FOC for Slash, being a valued customer

For me, it's more like a 12 string Jagmaster.
Strat-like bridge, humbuckers, no rhythm circuit. Jagmaster. Sorry, I'm a pedant.

Also: that headstock. It's a harpoon!

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpgjbwf6Xq1qgtwuu.jpg I was kinda thinking Aye Aye; long finger for the chugging drop tuned riffage, little fingers for the widdly widdly stuff. http://c0p1l2n0.polaris.psu.edu/sites/default/files/styles/embedded_media/public/MillerPerry_female_ayeaye.jpg Anyway, an i...

On a semi serious note; how would you reach the lower strings to fret them?

I can't quite put my finger on it, but to my eyes that looks fatter than a LP.

I like it. I don't know why, but for me it works better than comp blue.
While it clearly is a bit of a tribute to aged blue compstangs.
Incidentally, are you just going to rock out as is or get a decal for the headstock?

That's cheap! Let us know what it's like when it arrives.

Any idea what that scar on the front is from?
My guess is a bucking bronco sticker.

I want to wire the bridge humbucker to a stock Mustang switch as series/off/parallel (as the 2 halves of the HB in series and parallel) I haven't quite found the diagram I need for that though. Can anybody point me in the right direction? The neck pickup will just be stock 'stang on/off/out of phase...

Oh, I see what you mean by asymmetric now; the tip of the headstock had a notch in it.
Didn't know that was a thing.

*EDIT* I still think the Silvertone had a MUCH sexier headstock

So, inspired by The Ryan Jarman Guitar thread
I dug this back out.
No promised I'll actually finish this though

Fuckers! Now I dug out a long neglected project, not the same, but another variation on the Jagstang http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g45/greasermonkeyinprint/guitar%20projects4/HPIM1166.jpg [/URL][/img] (I didn't think it was 2 1/2 years since I last touched this! :oops: ) I have the neck screwed ...

I am strangely attracted to the Chinese ones, particularly the ones with the asymmetrical headstock, they are also a bit heavier like the new ones. Do you mean the Silvertone reissues? There is a little overlap between Dano and Silvertone. I want one of these: http://www.silvertoneclassic.com/wp-co...

I like it! Like the Jagstang it's a bit 'lets throw all the best bits of a guitar together and hope it turns out good'.
Not for everyone though.

Me too, would have to be some special tort to surpass a black guard.

1970!
But, seriously unless you're lucky you will have to improvise.
Danelectro saddles are a half decent atlernative.

RRP £249, your for only £1189.99

It's like a B&B Jagmaster with P90s

I would like to know what the chicken head does, my guess is a varitone?

BearBoy wrote:I wonder what an "American Shortboard Mustang" is?

Along with the 'longboard' Strat, I'm guessing they're themed like old wooden surfboards?

Weren't Mustangs released in 1964?
Making the 50th anniversary last year?
