Re: SW thread: Finally decided - ordered from Fretsong
Sounds like the guitar you are planning is going to turn out really nice. I just
took delivery of a GM from Paul. It looks similar to the red FS1 quilt top he
has on his website. He did a red quilt top for me with a natural black binding
in the original GM shape. He does really nice work. You picked a good luthier.
He will do you a good job.
I am still debating whether to retrofit a ZT3 with EMG´s or go with a custom made guitar. Fretsong or Bondy. The Fretsong body would be similar to an L...
Maybe your looking for more input on the custom side but I can tell you I really like the ZT3! I use/play all the GM T-trem/GR type Steinbergers live and have...
Retrofitting the ZT3 with an 85 at the bridge and an 89 at the neck is probably the safest bet, and have leaned toward that option several times though I have...
I own a Fretsong custom made headless guitar and consider it better than most of what I have played or owned, it is like the best lute I own, sensitive to the...
Jon has what looks like an incredible all graphite model but with a hard tail bridge. If I include the PUPs I need and the tremolo, then that guitar becomes...
Too bad you can't try one out, especially one with the hard tail...It may not be that much difference normally between the 2, bit perhaps this particular...
Hi, I own a Fretsong FS-1 that Paul made for me. It is absolutely amazing. Walnut w/oil finish and a Fender style neck from moses w/24 fret and 24.75 scale...
is it a Moses neck?....no bolts, wow, Moses was a great miracle worker indeed. but parting the Red Sea....child's play! Paul may be the one to lead us to the...
James, It is a moses ns-27 which is fender radius and width (not steinberger narrow width) oh.... and stainless frets. The neck does bolt on; what I was trying...
... That tight of a fit is more a testament to who made the body than the neck. Sure hope it's a natural finish. Otherwise you could see cracking and...
Holds tight without the bolts in (not strung) natural finish all the way. Paul is an amazing luthier. Chris ________________________________ From: andyyak...
Ok, finally after some weeks of major indecision I made a decision yesterday and ordered a custom made guitar from Paul at Fretsong. Thanks Jon Bondy and...
I received a "Sinister Red with Black" FS-1 as pictured in the Fretsong Photo Gallery and the finish goes a mile deep. A picture doesn't do the dark...
I chose the walnut with a "oil" finish and I am happy I did. Seems more durable and more repairable than paint. Also, it sounds more natural which is a good...
You can also get the neck with the micro dots on the fingerboard, I also got one with standard size dots in MOP, but it is hard to see the difference from what...
Thanks James/Chris. I had reahearsal yesterday and tried to focus on those details. I realized yesterday that I do use the inlays for positioning. I...
so there will be a "stain" of cherry red over the walnut? But no varnish or other hard finish? That should make it look like a n Asian Mohagony, like Narra...
Sounds like the guitar you are planning is going to turn out really nice. I just took delivery of a GM from Paul. It looks similar to the red FS1 quilt top he...
Hee hee - Yes Andy, it's an oil finish :0)... With the harder woods and oil, it's nice to get that super tight pocket. I AM glad to see Chris so happy with the...
My Fretsong was bolted also but withoiut ferrulls, but the bolt heads are flush due to Pauls strong tendency to make the slots concave whereever there is...
