Roy

Posted by Uncle John on July 10, 2016 at 4:13pm
Yup. Roy is a good name for this one. I considered Hilliary, but the git says 'Roy'.Relic build. I give it a C for acoustic sound and volume - maybe C-.Will give it a Dirty B for plugged in sound.Plays at a C+. Action is quite nice, but somehow the intonation is off up the neck above the 5th fret or so. Fingers okay for the first 5 frets. Good with slide. I tried moving the saddle, but could not find a 'sweet spot.Will likely gift it away.I went off the Build Stop for one day and had a very fun time throwing this together. I love building relics. They can be a bit rough around the edges and that makes for quicker and easier builds.
