Roy

Posted by Uncle John on July 10, 2016 at 4:18pm
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.The flowering bush is (I think) purple loose strife.

    "Roi" might be another name option???, it looks like it could be on 'Steroids', the Build Stop hasn't fully worked on me, but it has slowed me down a little ;-)

    Quicker is right, you got this one finished up in just a couple of days. Wish mine were that quick. Roy,Hillary, or Donald, which ever it is, looks real nice!
