Got another Lion back from paint

ThorpyFX · May 2015

Now that is bloody stunning!

ROOG · May 2015

And just got the Slash Derrig wannabe guitar back from the paintshop (no cleaning up done yet)

FelineGuitars · May 2015

So we got Mike's Lion Supreme finished...and it's a very classy (or classic) looking guitar

FelineGuitars · May 2015

A very classic looking offering we made for Mike .We wanted to capture a lightly faded 59 LP vibe, but with all the creature comforts and refinements that we like to add:

Three piece quartersawn neck, volute , Dunlop 6100 frets, Earvana Compensated tuning nut, Sperzel tuners, TonePros tunamatic bridge and tailpiece studs, and a lightweight aluminium tailpiece.

Turned out very nicely too!

The pickups are a pair of Bare Knuckle Pickups Mules wired via a harness with CTS/BKP 550k pots and a pair of Jensen paper in Oil caps - although the neck tone is a CTS500k push pull that coil splits the neck pickup for singel coil sounds.

Currently working on one of Michael Schenker's old guitars that his son Tyson brought in (it belongs to him now).

About 10 years old and a pretty standard black Gibson V but nice connection there.

Redo-ing the electrics and a bit of fretwork.

Taking a bit of extra pride in this one I think

Have a couple of Wows!

One for the Lion Supreme, its stunning! And one for the Schenker guitar

FelineGuitars · June 2015

The Schenker guitar has gotten a bit more serious .

A previous break where the neck joins the body hadn't been repaired properly (or at all).

The neck seemed to have a bit too much movement causing possible instability.

So I've had to complete the break and remove the neck from the body so I can repair some of the splintered bits and refit the neck properly.

At this rate it's turning into another "Judas Priest " job....I better start taking some photos.

Definitely! We want pictures.

It's the full size one!

the small one was a present to Tyson when he was a kid and touring with his Dad.

I'd definitely stick with that story.

No - but somebody else did and they are loving it.

FelineGuitars · July 2015

The V Supremes are coming along nicely.

FelineGuitars · July 2015

As can be seen in the way cool junior thread - the two Lion Cub DCs we have in build are progressing nicely too.

DavidRees · July 2015

Happy birthday Jonathan

FelineGuitars · July 2015

Thanks David - only just spotted this update

Now the two Vs have gone off to paint and that leaves a question : What colour should I paint the stock one?

DrBob · July 2015

Which one is the stock one ? And are you going pickguard or no pickguard ? Happy belated Birthday by the way !

Discussion thread on it started here: http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/46095/what-colour-to-paint-my-v#latest

No pickguards on the V Supreme - don't want to hide the pretty wood.

Its the one with more controls

Got Wood!
A stash of wood purchased at great cost that may be going towards our Jubilee guitars (25th Anniversary).
This is what I spend my money on when I sell a few guitars

WARNING _ you may ned to sit down if you like figured wood or look away if you don't care for it........

Might have to start a special thread for these as they come together (complete with a porn warning)

FelineGuitars · July 2015

Oh ...and that Slash Derrig wannabe guitar that we have quietly been building for @alnico is looking a bit gorgeous too!

I thought we could get close-ish to the look but feeling v pleased with this:

Alnico · July 2015

^

What do you say to that ?

Thank you Jonathan. It looks stunning. Without doubt the 'Once in a lifetime' Guitar for me.

5 Months to go and counting (Possibly in seconds !)

oldfoxy · July 2015

I likey very much.........any more info? Specs, colours etc?

FelineGuitars · July 2015

Ok - the Slash Derrig inspired Lion Supreme is completed now and it's pretty amazing

@alnico is in for a treat when he finally gets his paws on this baby

Till then she's mine to enjoy....think I'll have to make the sister guitar though as I'm so liking this baby

Would love to see one of the finished juniors once ready, they kinda have "40th birthday present to myself" written all over them!

Howdy, Stranger!
