Sorta "build"

Yeah, pine is a cheap wood, but it actually sounds great.

I did order the thing whether it makes the cut is another thing.

 

[Rick]

The thingy to thingamabob the thingamajig ... got it.

 

[Spud]

Just getting coffee now.

gotta tell ya, Spud, the tortoise shell thing doesn't contrast enough with that bumble-bee color scheme to really work. I'd stick with white, or if I felt iffy about white, I'd probably go with flat black.

yes, it is flat black now order cancelled! Thank y'all! (I am apparently very easily swayed by the forum collective hive mind) (you manipulative b*satrds!)

Also, sustainable, lightweight, looks cool, sounds delicious.

Spud if you like the tort you like the tort

The other posters have limited cultural exposure. Same colors, different textures is a whole thing in some circles, notably in French fine art where the concept of mixing geometry and value is called “la saucisse contre le chignon” or “the curve against the line”.

A man has to know his limitations, the only person on this board truly qualified to use yellow tortoise and get away with it is Ragamuffin!!

That's a sweeping statement. Folks can have cultural exposure, it doesn't mean they have to like it.

 

[TBurst Std]

Correct call Spud. While the yellow tort didn't look as bad as I envisioned, you got the guard right initially.

Well, given that “la saucisse contre le chignon” means “the sausage vs the bun”, there is a distinct chance I made the whole thing up for a joke. Happy April Fools

Well .. as they say in France... ils ont beaucoup citcles ... vive citcles!!!!! If you're ever one of those ... awfully hard to get out.

Ah, the old sausage versus the bun idiom being used for comedic purposes.

I did some research to understand the full meaning and thought I would share this interesting write-up.

French Idioms - "la saucisse contre le chignnon"

 

[Spud]

I dunno about the sausage bun paradigm, but this one is done until I receive Wilde/Lawrence neck pickup.

 

[Rick]

Wow, seriously, that's one good looking guitar!

 

[kevin_guitars]

That thing is badass. Love the vibe of that thing I bet it sounds awesome

 

[Spud]

And the final pic of new pickup.

 

[Rick]

And how does it sound?
