Hiya guys,
Hope you don't mind, but I want to show you this, and ask a big favour.
This is my latest creation, a Steampunk special.
Here's the spec:-
From the workshop of StevieM Customs.
Starting at the pointy end.
It’s an Italia Maple neck, covered in real copper foil, then lacquered.
Rosewood Fretboard.
Machine heads are Italia, with most of the chrome buffed off, and polished.
Hand made Stainless steel Nut.
Fret side markers are small brass machine screws.
The hand made body is Maple, covered with thin steel, and brass rivets, then a few coats of lacquer.
All the pickup plates/control plate/jack socket plate/light and battery covers/rear string retainer block/headstock plates are hand made in Brass.
The Bridge is hand made from steel, with hand made Brass saddles.
Strap buttons are Stainless Steel nuts and bolts.
Rear Neck plate is hand made from Stainless steel
Control knobs are Stainless Steel Dome nuts.
Pickups are fully wax potted Alnico Humbuckers, with 2 Volume pots, 2 Tone pots and a 3 way Les Paul type switch.
The lights are a string of 12 LED’s, powered by 3 watch batteries.
Weight is about 4.5kg ( 10.75lbs)
Sorry, the steam gauge doesn’t actually work, I’m working on a way for that for the next one Wink.
It's on You Tube, and going on E Bay Sunday 5th Dec.
I've got more pics if anyone's interested in seeing 'em.
The vid is a couple of stills 1st, then me playing a bit of mediocre blues lead over a backer, the next 2 clips are a mate of mine and his sister.
The BIG BIG favour is, if you love it/hate it/something in between, can you pass the YT link around to anywhere else you can---Forums, Facebook, whatever, I'd really like to get as much exposure on it as poss before the E Bay listing finishes.
A Big Huge THANKS.
Cheers.
Errrr-----The You Tube thingy didn't seem to work to bring the clip up, so here's the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff_S0HyD3rQ
