    Re: Baldacci custom build...just getting started

    She arrived today!!!

    Conner did an incredible job on this build! Its everything I wanted...and more!

    The neck is a beefy 50s carve. The satin finish on the back is fast and smooth. The Brazilian board looks and feels great. I left it up to Conner to pick the fretboard binding...he used curly maple and it looks fantastic...a very classy touch.

    The old growth mahogany body looks incredible. I was a little apprehensive about having a satin finish on the back of the guitar, but I really like it.

    The quilt top he picked out for me is absolutely amazing in person! And the burst, exactly what I was looking for!

    Conner custom wound a set of Alnico II PAF clones for me....I already knew these pickups were going to sound great (he had previously made some for me) The guitar sounds incredible! Warm, rich tone! Great note definition!

    I was so glad that he was able to place the controls in more of a classic LP configuration, like I wanted....his standard design has all the controls on the lower part of the body, like a Tele or a Strat.

    The fretwork is great too. It sets up really well. A real joy to play! AND ITS ONLY 8.5 LBS!!!!! The case is really cool too.

    I'm very pleased with this Bighorn! Conner Baldacci has a bright future ahead of him.

    Thanks for all the kind words during the process of the build.

          No need to even comment on the gorgeousness of that guitar.

          But, MAN, I really love that case!

              Nice video and beautiful guitar!

              BTW, are you sure his name is pronounced "Buh-doll-key"?

              Seems like the proper pronunciation would be more like "Ball-dah-chee"...
