Post subject:  First Electric Completed & Carved

I thought I would try my hand at an electric for myself playing in a vintage rock ( 70's,80's,90's) band. I used three pieces for the body capped with a bookmatched walnut from my wood pile. The Lindy Fralin PU's sound great! I am very pleased with my son's first attempt at carving. :D Bought him some knives for Christmas and he took it from there. He might be on to something,what do you think? I was a bit concerned that that much walnut might sound dark, but it's not, maybe the maple neck with ebony FB lighten it up enough. The PU's split, I used a three way toggle to keep thinks simple, I don't need too much to think about when in the heat of the battle. I can get plenty of different textures with this combination and using Fralins probably help. I will chamber the body the next time to lighten it a bit, but I need to do some more investigating to see how chambering changes the tone. Thanks for looking! Clinton

Very nice!! The carving looks really great. I just started putting the finish on my first try at an electric and can't wait to see the end product. I like the looks of that walnut.
