NGD x2

Post by mule »

Couple of recent purchases (neither of which were planned...) I've been meaning to share. Finally got around to taking some photos.

Lostininverness-built tele

All the tasty deets (and better photos) are on Grant's sale post. Ash body (heavy, but comfortable thanks to the chambering), matai neck and rosewood fretboard. Have had this for the past week and am still impressed every time I pick it up at the build quality. I really like the finish - the mahogany top goes between red/translucent brown depending on the light, while the ash body has more of a deep red that sets off the grain. The binding is flawless and looks great.

Big neck with a wider fretboard than I'm used to but still very comfortable. Super resonant acoustically and sustains like crazy. Thought I might change the pickups but I'm pretty happy with the GFS Hot Liverpool's for now - sounds great on the bridge. Setup from Grant is absolutely spot-on with low action, very comfortable to play. I'm definitely keeping an eye out for future builds from Grant, great stuff!

Reverend Warhawk 390

Oleg popped up with this when I was drooling over Reverend's a couple of months ago. Korina body is super light. Pictures don't do a good job of showing that the finish is slightly translucent. Bridge/neck are Rose Eden P90's. I actually really like the middle stock pickup and spend most of my time on it. The bass contour knob is great and between that and a volume that doesn't suck tone, this is actually much more versatile than I expected. Goes from really thick warm grunt to reasonably clean and is really handy for finding space in the mix with a band.

Beauties... but that Tele is jizzworthy.

Absolutely. Next time I see something I'm keen on I might ping you first to make sure I'm not about to steal a third :P
