ACG 4 String Build

[zbd1960]

Well, "next day delivery" wasn't "next day", but anyway it has arrived. It's unfortunate that it coincided with me being stupidly busy with a mix of course work and sax workshops (please read carefully... 🙂).

 

It is stunning in the flesh. I've snapped a few pics with my phone, but I'm goign to do a proper product shoot in the studio with it as soon as I can, so I will post some decent pics in due course.

Cor that’s epic. Alan never fails to impress.

Can I give you a 'wow!' ?

 

That fretboard is stunning 😎

I've always wanted something made from purple heart ever since I saw antiques programmes years ago talking about marquetry and purple heart aways came up as being stunning etc.

It's an incredible looking wood. I went for a bit of it on my fretless 6er. Same accent veneer like yours, and I went for a BIG chunk of it in the middle of the neck and also mixed up in the fretlines too. >>

I'm very pleased with the ACG Krell. I don't have particularly long arms. I've always found the Fender Jazz a bit of a handful - it's a bit of a stretch and uncomfortable for me near the nut. 

 

The Krell is 32" scale rather than 34" and I think with the way the bridge is positioned as well, it just makes everything much more comfortable. I no longer feel like I'm stretching to reach the low end. 

 

As soon as I've got some time, I will post up some better photos.
