I won!

yesterday, finally, i won myself something from ebay. it's a humbucker pickup, white in colour, from epiphone/gibson. i know it's quite pricey when converted to malaysian ringgit, from 23usd to rm72, but, it's quite cheap compared to the normal price you'll have to pay when you're buying from a shop seller. moreover, this pickup is for my project, building a semi-solid-semi-hollow guitar.

i'd still have to design the best design that suited my intention, i wanted a body that's not too modern looking, i'm not into the metal guitar designs, but alas, i'd like to stray a little bit from the traditional. i'm opting for a shape kind of like the es-335, if anyone knows it, but i'm fond also for the les paul guitar shape. but, all in all, simplicity is my best friend at the moment.

the plan is that, i'd fitted the guitar with a humbucker pickup, maybe a neck pickup, a single coil maybe, to get that twang that you can hear from a fender guitar, no trem bridge for me, i'm not even using all the dive and the bombing techniques, maybe a simple bridge, a saddle bridge that you could see on accoustic guitars. i'm not opting for a metal bridge anyway, i wanted to keep it as simple and plain as possible. i'm planning also to use a ready made neck, probably a gibson style neck, which probably, i'd buy from woh fatt music, or maybe i'd asked mr julian mokhtar to custom made me one neck, i'd say roughly, the cost for the neck, around rm250-rm300, that's quite almost, the same value as my intended tools.

but well, all in all, i'll have to start slowly this time.

wish me luck.
