no news today - your crafter is still finishing up with the previous job... maybe he started selecting wood today, but it would have been after i left the shop this afternoon. Perhaps i will have some news tommorrow!

Jon have you picked out your pickups yet. I would try Jim Rolph from cinternet. He makes really good PAF's. TI use them in other guitars. The only reason I did not use his because Peter Florence lives close to where I grew up in upstate N.Y. Just wanted to try something different. I really want to see how your 336 comes out | |

I'm putting Wolfetones in this one. Wolfes work IMO is better than the Voodoo stuff, and at least equal to Rolph, but more than likely slightly better. If that makes any sense. I had some Rolphs for a while, they are excellent pickups, but I bought them second hand. I hear Mr Rolph asks one too many questions when you order from him...I don't like the idea of having to justify giving him my money. Wolfe is an allround good person and a true craftsman. Specifically I am going to try out the first pair of limited edition 'Legend' pickups from him. They differ very slightly from the standard Legends that you can see on his site...it should be good to hear them. |

It's really funny you bring up the Attitude thing with Jim. I left a conversation today with him, and I am not going to call again. I will leave it at that. I hope the Wolftones work really well for semi. | |

Damn bloody foreign software....ahem. Anyway. I will leave the pictures to those in the know from now on. If it needs more than an IMG tag and a copy and paste from photobucket I consider it too much like hard work . The reason why we have not named the crafter...well its all a bit complicated. See, this wont be a normal guitar. It has taken months of research and millions of dollars, but...and I hope Michael doesnt mind me saying...deep in the ice fields of siberia (this sounds good doesnt it?) a group of scientists have resurected none other than Leo Fender himself to build my guitar. Amazing isnt it? And totally untrue. The crafter remains a secret. |

Well if it is still possible, I'd like to change the neck carve to something mid way between the big neck on the Jr and the standard Gibson '60's neck found on production 335s today. Jon |

i will check on it in an hour ( leaving for the shop shortly...) when you say "mid-way" - do you want us to split the difference on thickness, or neck shape? (or both?) |
