The Road to Norway...Freddy-G R'ang and pinstripes.LQQK !!!

I gotta say my love for the rockin' Filtertron has grown with this build.

Would "Hot Rod" Pinstripes and Freddy-G R'ang work ? Stay with me.

I'm really gonna miss this one.....but more coming soon.....More Bling too !!


Here is some pix of the build:

For me.....this is just lovely !! As sweet as Flame or quilted 10 top maple....Nice clean -light weight and resonant PINE !!!!

I really,really don't like grain fillin'.......Ash and Hog....your gonna have too if you want it flat and purty.......but these pine builds......I ain't gonna do it unless I just have too.Thin is in and I really believe it sounds better.

So here we are assemble and I'm in love......It toured locally and the response was way more than I excpected.......I gigged with it 3-4 times and then did a Soundclip which if your into that sort of thing went to #1 in the Guitar Rock section and top 20 overall on the Soundclick site. Thats pretty cool considering my style of hackage.


Here is the demo :

......I posted it on Ebay and a few other places. Knocked some off the price because she was demo'd for a month or so........Was bought pretty quickly and it shipping out to NJ and then headed to Norway.


It was a BIG hit locally at the Car show......my girls enjoy talking with the lookers.

But got more coming soon........Dibs ?

Very cool, like the pinstripes. Do you know where in Norway it is being shipped?

Norge uber alles.

Thanks so much.......I'd have to look....not sure.

Norway is well represented here....maybe they would chime in.

Norge uber alles.

Hmm.. you know it is supposed to be "Deutchland(Germany) uber alles" right?
The correct line would be "Norge over alle"... just had to say something :wink:


Beautiful guitar by the way! :cool:

Yes of course, my norwegian cousin would say Norge uber alle as a joke, he thought it was pretty funny. Along with Veare Vikinger, Stavangers futbol team. He is a silly man. I thought it was a common joke though, my apologies. There is a story behind this, but probably not too interesting or relevant here.

S.I.E., I saw a pic of your new 'tron'd tele the other day and it stopped me in my tracks! It's a beaut!...and the pinstriping is top notch!

Thanks so much.......slow but surely getting ready to light the fires shortly....took a monkey wrench of my skull from the powers that be and a certain headstock shape.....but I will care on......nothing hokey.....and I gotta say its actually motivating.
