Vox teardrop
« on: December 03, 2008, 06:50:37 PM »
Somebody stop me!! I wasn't going to add any more projects to my pile, but I  couldn't resist this body.   It's goring to be a Vox clone when I get into it.

you got it Shadow, I'm gonna do a paddle-headed monster in 30" scale.  I'm gonna do what Phantom guitars did and scale down the paddle to reduce neck dive.  At least I know I can get some of the parts I need!

You can be the next Toody Cole!




BTW, the bass isn't big, she's just tiny.

Yep, that's what I have in mind!  Naturally, it will look much smaller when I wear it!!!  ;)

I've got it all planned out already. Two Phantom pickups, Ultralite tuners, Vox inlay on the headstock (gold MOP), gonna try my first neck binding (gotta build this one from scratch).  I'm not too big on the metal control plates and pickguard.  Mine will probably be w-b-w.  That should look nice on the burst body.

You bet. I knew of Fred Cole from the 60s, but I didn't discover Dead Moon until the mid 90s.

In case you weren't aware, when Andrew Loomis called it quits two years ago this month, Fred and Toody ended Dead Moon. But they started up again last year as the Pierced Arrows with Kelly Halliburton on drums.

Here's Toody and her Vox Wyman rockin' out in Sydney this past January. Not everyone's cup of tea, but she and Fred are still going strong and touring. He's 60, she turns 60 this month.

Very nice, that's what I have in mind.  I'm also thinking a trapeze and floating bridge, we'll see how much wood is under the top when I get her.  I also like the neck pickup closer to the heel.  How does your Phantom sound?
