The "Fake" Encore


Nail Soup

Recommended Posts

I had one I liked, as it happens :)   A double cutaway short scale with a P pickup in it.  I swapped the stock pup for an Entwistle one and it was pretty tidy.  Weighed 3kgs, too. 

The neck wasn't great - a little bit warped - so in the end I mated the body with the neck of a Hondo II 32" scale, with some jiggery pokery and moving the bridge back a touch, and have a nice little rocking thing now.  But I'd get another of the Encores if one came up cheaply.

I had an encore Les Paul once, it was quite good, hefty like a LP, even looked quite decent with a cherry sunburst, it wasn't too shoddy at all, suppose it depends which of the usual suspect manufacturers made it.. Pretty certainly MIK I'd think.

Well it seems like my cunning plan to recruit a few fans to The Lovely Eggs has backfired 😀!

I just hope that their bass player is not a member here.... oh, hang on, they don't have a bass player 😉.

 

If they don't have a bass player I hate 'em already... Just as I do the Doors.. ;)
