Vox Hollow Body

"I like to think of myself as liberator.    Just think of those those poor shackled upper register notes now free because of my skilled hands."

Sweeney Todd musical is coming to Chicago, there still might be a spot open Scott?

Do you craft meat pies as well?

Naturally, I didn't mean butcher in a pejorative sense.  I was thinking more like an "artistic" hacker, like me!

Scott you are a visionary. When I get the money together I am going to trim up the fat on my t-bird as well! I have two songs recently where I have to use those highest frets and it's a bear right now.

Ever heard of the theory how a lot of the murders attributed to Jack the Ripper might have actually been committed by people emulating him? I see that compulsive mechanism at work here ...

Just get a replica non reverse or the studio Tbird, due to the greater radius on the body it gives better upper fret access.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Just how did I lose control of this topic? 

The body still hasn't come in yet.  The seller didn't ship it out from Californication until a week after the auction ended!

Lose control ? This is the Gibson forum after all.

I forgot, no rules here!

OK, here's the pup I'm gonna use in this Vox HB.  It's a 1/4 lb. SD for Jaguars.  It fits right into the Gibson Melody Maker pup cover.  It'll need just a little bit of sanding on the top cover so it fits without pushing the edges of the cover outward.  Very cool, like a super Music Master!!!

[godofthunder]

 Very cool !

[drbassman]

Very cool !

I think so too!
