Fred_C Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Very interesting piece and the accompanying information was an interesting read as well. If you play cool, you are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CouchBed Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The canvas top is something I've never seen before. sweet looking guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 My only problem is with the headstock design. Looks out of place with the rest of the "war era" materials and accessory stuff they used. But that's a small consideration beside the outstanding and ingenious work done to make this guitar. And I'll call Elizabeth for ANY information I can get! Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haywired2 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 The canvas top is something I've never seen before. sweet looking guitar! I like the canvas top too, plus the name stenciled on the upper part of the body Les Paul Studio Deluxe, '74 Guild S100, '64 Strat, JCM 900 Combo, Peavey Classic 30 1x12, Peavey Classic 30 Head, CBG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I like the rifle butt plate on the back and the dog tag truss rod access cover! Walnut neck, ebony board with 12th fret stamp, open back tuners, wood cargo case, etc., too much to list... Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the pickguard made from aircraft sheet metal down to the strap.

Larryz Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 It looks like Rosie the riveter put that pick guard on and I dig those bakelite pickup covers and radio knobs...I think It should have a bayonet! I didn't know they might have made a Les Paul using Sapele wood back in the 50's? It's a great African tone wood for guitars which is becoming popular. No worries about rare woods as it's found in abundance. I have 3 guitars made out of Sapele... Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caevan O’Shite Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 What a beautiful work of functional art! Wow. It sounds great, too! That oiled walnut neck looks very inviting... And I'll call Elizabeth for ANY information I can get! Oh, yeah! Me, too! What a bombshell, she looks like she came straight off the nose of a B-52... ! You and I might fight over her!

CouchBed Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm curious as to what tonal ramifications the canvas top brings along with its killer aesthetics. Anybody got a clue? I've done some research on the tolexing of amps and something said somewhere that when you put tolex on the cab, it will make the wood not resonate as well as it would if you left it bare. I wonder if the canvas on this would be doing anything to kill the tone or not... It could depend on whether they actually glued the canvas to the top or only stretched it and fastened it down with the screw-on binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm sure the tent canvas is more about art than function. Kind of like ZZ top's twirling fur guitars, the fuzz might get in the way of the tone a little, but that ain't gonna stop them...

Yes, I'm sure that that's the main reason why they did it, but I'm just curious as to the other effects it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could depend on whether they actually glued the canvas to the top or only stretched it and fastened it down with the screw-on binding. I thought the same thing; but from the three minute-mark onward in the YouTube video there, that guitar can be heard in two or more player's hands in the backing music- and I'd have to say, it sounds VERY GOOD, in spite of the canvas covering!

haywired2 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 It sounds VERY GOOD, in spite of the canvas covering! It sounded pretty sweet to me. I'd like to know what amp it went trough too.
