Also I didn't mention... loving that cutaway on the back for the top frets.

Yeah that's inspired, never had such easy access to 21st fret before, may actually find an excuse to use it

Thanks for your kind words people!
As usual it's much better looking in real life.
Extremely happy with it, had a little play last night but only at quiet volume it was getting late, I mainly held it and cried
The neck is perfect.
Going to give it a proper blast with the band on Sunday, can't wait.


Dave even though I couldn't play loud there was a great deal of versatility, each one solo'd sounds like it should do, but together they sound great too, powerful and smooth. Really bright and clear overall but waiting till Sunday to get a proper impression.
I see you're in Huddersfield, I live in Milnsbridge, welcome to come try it out for yourself! Planning to have a louder run through on Saturday afternoon.

Same goes for anyone else, message me if you want to have a go!

Here's my Custom Elwood Absolution, haven't had a chance to plug in and play yet but will do so tonight and update this tomorrow.
Some pics and a video from Adrian for now

Love that bridge pickup sound, can't wait to get this thing plugged in.
If anyone wants to come and have a go on it just give me a shout

That's mine! Saves me doing a video review

Oops, think mine is/was too - [size=5][color=#666666][font=sans-serif]KOELN DE[/font][/color][/size]

[color=#666666][font=sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#666666][font=sans-serif][size=1][size=4]I saw the 'DE' and presumed Denmark but it's actually Deutschland.

Too excited to think/concentrate [/size][/size][/font][/color]

I signed up for Fedex email updates

Most recent - 'Departed FedEx location' which I think was Denmark if I remember, so I imagine they're setting off for the overseas journey!

Guys, I am proper stoked for you. You'll have to let me know how long it was from initial order to your door so I know what lead time I'm looking at.

Mine will be 15 weeks Keef, but that's over Xmas.

Bass has been picked up... It's gonna be an impatient day tomorrow, apparently turning up on Wednesday.

Snap!

I've been playing on and off for 14 years, had a big break (few years) after leaving a band but started playing again two years ago and really enjoying it again.
I go through phases where I think I'm not anywhere near as good as I should be, but when that happens I turn the amp up, forget about trying to play properly/correctly and just play simple things which sound good, the extra volume helps!
Always makes me feel better at least, then chances are next time I pick it up i will have got past those doubts/annoyances from the previous time.

Good luck man and keep your head up, most people on here think they're sh*t compared to everyone else

Wow did you decide to go for an "Attitude" syle neck? Nice! God that whole package looks great.
[/quote]

Yeah I was thinking about styles of fret markers and they're my favourite! Didn't request any specific dimensions though, I'm thinking it'll be great whatever it is

Just got a picture of my newly completed Jake! I'm gonna pay the balance on Friday, because I need to wait for money to transfer, but she's a beauty!


Does the thread want pics?

The thread demands pics

That's really cool looking, love the reverse headstock and the pickups!

Speechless

I have a hankering for one of these but I am really put off by the "JAKE" logo on them I know that is shallow but I just cant get my head around it it just seems so crap and tacky it would be OK if your name was Jake I guess I think if it wasn't for that I would seriously be thinking of pulling the trigger on one infact I may email and ask if I can have one without that logo.
[/quote]

You can ask for that, think someone on here has already

14 weeks so far

You can find the 'Special' second hand for around 300 - 350.
That's what I paid for mine if I remember rightly

There have been a few different models, ranging from a few hundred up to a couple of grand I think!
It's a Yamaha Attitude. Brilliant guitars

The yellow jazz with the vintage tint neck is awesome! 21 fret neck too, as they should be

I need to stop checking my emails every couple of minutes!

And reading this thread too

I want the picture of that gorgeous sofa already!

I've got a p/mm hybrid on the way I'll post pics of that too!

Hey Keef, I'm hoping to have a picture to show you in the next couple of days that could be of interest to you!
