My CS Rhoads is DONE! Chris Holmes

Re: My CS Rhoads is DONE! Chris Holmes

Yeah, he mentioned that he forgot to specify the small circular control cavity and it was his mistake. Oh well. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: My CS Rhoads is DONE! Chris Holmes

Yea, I really forgot but the larger cavity would allow me to have more stuff just in case if I want to change the pickup to EMG(battery) or maybe on/off switch or even 3way switch for neck pickup if I decided to add another pickup..

So I would take it for good.

In other words, you don't have any qualms about Newcensteining your new custom guitar that's supposed to be a replica of the very first Jackson guitar you've ever seen... nice... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Gongrats again Toru! I have lots of great photos of the original and I can send you scans when I get back to the office next week.

You have the best taste in guitars.

Re: My CS Rhoads is DONE! Chris Holmes

That's one hell of a nice looking guitar. My wife hates me for it but I have been on a WASP kick as of late. She can't get Love Machine out of her head now.

Re: My CS Rhoads is DONE! Chris Holmes

Thank you again!

NOTP, [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] When I get older, I would need an extra pickup to do Blues on this guitar.

Jani, thank you so much! I would need some more information about these Chris's guitars as I am still thinking of ordering the replica of Zebra with Lion Head.
When I ordered this Lee helped me a lot about the original specs of the guitars as Dan remembers it well too.

A., my wife says I have bad taste in guitars...

Jack, I have to say I agree with you totally.
My wife HATES WASP.
I have 2 Home Videos of WASP and I can't even play them at home except when she is sleeping at night.. it's like I am doing some nasty things behind of her and makes me guilty watching these tapes... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
All my friends when I was 13 hated WASP too [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I had a magazine with WASP on cover in 84 when they came out.
All the girls in my school hated it!
They thought these guys in WASP are dirty and nasty....well Duran Duran and some pop bands were so popular at the time and these girls loved them so...They even thought David Lee Roth had too much hair on his chest and ugly... [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Anyway, My wife thinks the guitar looks great but she is already tired of listening to me about how I am excited about this....and she is so glad I didn't go for the Bloodsplatter Star which I was also thinking of ordering! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: My CS Rhoads is DONE! Chris Holmes

Toru, did Lee & Dan remember the body wood? I forgot to ask Dan about that when I was in contact with him. Chris Holmes told me it was made of Ash but he didn't seem too sure. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Do let me know what you heard from Lee!
I can measure everything you need from the original and take
pics from all angles. Hell I might even order a replica of it myself. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Limited run?
Happy New Year to everyone!

Re: My CS Rhoads is DONE! Chris Holmes

Jani, Lee didn't know what the body material was.
Only what he said was I had White neck bindings on the original quote and Lee corrected that with the right color bindings.

Lee told me Dan would do a killer replica of the Zebra if I ordered it but told me it would take very long time..
I think I would love to order it as it will be a killer.
All I need is the moiney for the deposit and do it behind of my wife..

Re: My CS Rhoads is DONE! Chris Holmes

Toru, that is one sweet looking guitar! Congrats on a very cool piece. Too bad you pussed out on the the original neck graphic. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I wouldn't have done it either. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
