Don't like them.

No. It doesn't work. No matter how many times I say it.

ThePrettyDamned · November 2014

@ttony you're one of the modmins, right?

Is there some coding you can do to just... Wow every post with pictures that feline makes?

It saves me drooling over my phone.

Mr Feline does make exceedingly good-looking guitars.

Quite why anyone would choose to spend their hard-earned on something off a US production line when they could get a Feline for similar money ... beats me!

It's the reason his sig alludes to...

Resale.

I suspect not many customers go on to sell them on, mind.

Fuck me. Gonna need a guitar that needs new pups.

Alnico · December 2014

Errrrrrr, Yeah,.........so anyway Jonathan, you know that guitar you're building for me in 2015 ?

Well i'm buying the pickups first !!!

ThePrettyDamned · December 2014

Shit, I need an excuse to buy pickups.

Er...

Are there any ASL tele pickups?!

Or, you know, I guess I could get a spare set of havocs, just in case...

FelineGuitars · December 2014

Ash will be looking to expand the range of pickups that I keep in stock to include other flavours.

As well as having some classic and essential designs, we are also looking to find things that are slightly unique, or things that compliment the other line of pickups that I keep in stock (BKP).

The "Big Block" range of options that started to emerge will continue (single coil options in a humbucker housing - things like P90, Broadcaster, Ricky High Gain, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, DeArmond style etc) as will strat and tele models.

But Rome wasn't built in a day, so he will develop the new models as and when we can.

Cool, thanks for the info. I know he doesn't churn just any old thing out

FelineGuitars · December 2014

Some stuff going on for 2015......

Alnico · December 2014

@FelineGuitars..........

The bottom pic..............

Is that planned for anything that might have been asked for recently ? (AHEM, Cough, cough, nudge, nudge...)

FelineGuitars · December 2014

Bottom Lion is a custom order. The top one that looks a little Peach coloured was one that I had hoped to make look a bit like Slash's Derrig Les Paul. The second one down is a flat top Lion Cub with some chambering in it.

Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhh, that sounds nice !!

FelineGuitars · December 2014

The back of the Slash one has a lovely figured mahogany back too.

Alnico · December 2014

Now it's Christmas !!!

That looks lovely man.

I can't wait !!!

FelineGuitars · December 2014

Think we'll get a set of ASL Tubesnake pickups in Zebra in it....with the bridge zebra reversed of course.

Keep jumping dude id be jumping if it was for me.

The Purple Panther nicknamed "Purple Ronnie" just got an upgrade.

Out went the EMG pickups and in came a set of theASL Guitar Pickups Blackbird set. We swapped the pots to CTS and added a push pull coil split on the tone control.
I wanted to still make use of the battery box it had had since it was built with EMGs and pondered what we could add that would be really useful.
What we added was a small EMG made booster that gives a controlled/preset amount of gain boost, which can be preset via a trimpot on the rear. It's proved really great for a subtle lift for solos or when you need just a bit more "oomph!"

@FelineGuitars

I just happened to wander by your website earlier today ... you should put some of your special sale deals up on here too (prob in the Classifieds). Not guaranteeing that you'd sell them here, but I'm guessing that you'd tempt a fair few people ...

Absolutely horrible idea...could you imagine all the broken marriages as a result of conversations that start with

"honey...i know we already discussed that i have too many guitars, but..."

FelineGuitars · January 2015

Ok - I'll list a few in classifieds...

Till then here's a peek

Deijavoo · January 2015

My word.

£10 a month alright I take it? 150 months ain't that long I guess......

Lovely gear as always sir.

Deijavoo · January 2015

Look at that ML Fatboy price drop!

monquixote · January 2015

Oh man I still want that gold Tiger.

I think convincing the wife that I need two goldtop PRS shaped guitars may take some doing though.

Moe_Zambeek · January 2015

Tell us more about the Fatboy @felineguitars the spec sheet would appear to be wrong....

FelineGuitars · January 2015

The fatboy was something of an experiment.....and whilst a nice playing guitar you need to be big/tall to make it work well.

About 9/10 years ago we were asked to build an ML shaped guitar and we didn't have an original for rference when we started so we scaled up lots of photos to get the body shape etc.

Unfortunately we scaled up a bit too much so the body is maybe 1/2" or more bigger all around.

We kind of knew it was coming out a bit big so we chambered it

Ihave to confess that the neck on it is one of the nicest necks we have made and that the playability is fantastic.

However the guitar is a bit of a lump to hold and it may actually dwarf a smaller built musician.

Compare it to the replacement that we made once we quickly got our hands on a real one so that the customer got the guitar he was expecting...

We did think about just scrapping it when we realised it was way oversize

However we hated to let it go to waste such nice wood and the neck felt great

It has very nice hardware on it - Tonepros and Sperzel, Earvana and Duncan pickups (Distortion and 59 I think)

So we had the paintshop do a great charcoalburst finish on her

However - it is a cumbersome beast and not one that I really want to distance sell , as I suspect it would keep coming back to us one players realise we DO MEAN that it's a bit HUGE.

There is a player out there that will love it and will grow to lover her.

We are effectively trying to sell her off cheaply to recoup as much of the material and hardware costs as we can

I've just recommended this to my friend - I'm not sure if he's looking for a guitar but he makes an explorer look like a toy. He's built like this chap.

And that is one big arse guitar...

Howdy, Stranger!
