Found this on the Telemodders forum. First time I'd been there. This is beautiful! http://www.aimoo.com/forum/postview.cfm?id=361709&CategoryID=141281&startcat=1&ThreadID=1379029

hehe, thanks. If you take a look through that section, you'll see some of my other "creations".

Don't be a stranger, the Telemodders board is a great place to hang out, and some really nice people post there!

Thanks again!

(BTW, that 58 replica is my personal guitar, it's not for sale)

Jeff: I am wonder why you decided on D'Addario chromes?

Peter,

I took the pics when I just got done doing the adjustments and fine tuning. I had thought at the time I had 2 sets of Pyramid Golds lying around, but when I looked at the ones I had, they were 10s. The only thing locally I could have gotten at the time was a set of Chrome 12s. I've replaced them with 13 golds, but a few weeks ago I had to swap these strings back on due to needing the strings for a 325 we used for the trib band here instead.

I'll get another set soon, although it does sound nice with the Chromes too.

Actually, if I wanted to be more accurate, I guess I should have lifted a few piano strings huh? lol

Jeff, just goes to show that patience eventually pays off. You are to be commended for both your work but patience to wait, get the right parts and do it, to perfection (in our terms at least). Much of the fun is in the hunt anyway, right Jeff?

Thanks Bill, and that's very true. It still knocks me out the guitar gets so much interest. I've had a few offers on it, but I don'tknow if i could part with it. It not only looks cool but it plays so well that I know I'd miss it.

Rob Taylor's borrowing it right now for his next installments of the Beatles :To a Tee videos he does, but I should be getting it ack in a week or two. I'm itchin' to play it but haven't had time while doing all these other guitars so I haven' t had time to crave it, lol

I'll be interested to hear Rob's take on the settings available with the loom in it now Jeff. I'm sure it'll be different to what he's used to with previous re-issue 325's.
