Whoa!! Brilliant!!

His builds look really fantastic and from the few messages I've had from him, he seems like a good guy as well.

Yup, I agree!!

An amazing instrument and a really quick build as well!

Thought the 9 info might be useful. Didn't realise the review I wrote was quite so long!

Wow!! Another guitar to stick on the wish-list.....

I've just come across this thread and thought that your guitar going to look a little like my 9 string bass. Your shape's a bit more extreme, but I thought you might like to see it anyway. This is a Recurve Singlecut from AC Guitars in Moffat A.C. Guitars - Hand Crafted Basses & Guitars

Quite right!! I should have said coil-split. After a load of dead ends, I finally found the answer. The pickups are out of a 1527. In the 1527, Ibanez use a 5 way switch and only the neck pickup is 4 conductor. In position 4, the neck pickup is what Ibanez term "Parallel Connected". Here's...

I have a Washburn WG587 and without the money to splash out on a new axe (or a brand new set of pickups) I bought a set of Ibanez pickups off eBay. Apparently they come off an Ibanez RG7620, but only the bridge pickup is 4 conductor. I've had look at the reviews of these guitars and read that...

That 13 string whatever thing can't be taken seriously at all!! The Conklin GT7's are a great way to get into ERB's (Extended Range Basses). I bought one from the USA thru eBay and it's a great instrument. There's quite a few of them available as well. Back on topic, I went to 9 strings and...

Acrylicised fretboards can be stunning. The first one I ever saw was like a landscape painting with mountains in the distance. They're great to play as well. Thanks, phaeded0ut. We did initially look at Graphtec, but Hipshot produce a 9 string piezo loaded bridge which saved the hassle of...

I collected this bass from Alan of AC Guitars at lunchtime and it is absolutely awesome. The mahogany top has the great 'v' figuring and the bookmatched, acrylised, spalted maple fingerboard is amazing to look at and super-smooth to play. The 'v' shaped grain is also on the headstock and the...

I've ordered a 9 string from AC Guitars in Moffat, UK A.C. Guitars - Hand Crafted Basses & Guitars which will be tuned F# B E A D G C F Bb. There's a thread on this part of the sevenstring.org forum. The thing about ERB's is that they may look pretty scary, but they're usually quite easy to...

Went down to ACG HQ today for 2 reasons. 1. To see how the 9 was getting on and 2. to meet up with another ACG customer to swap my cash for his Dean Rhapsody 12 string. The 9 is in the process of being lacquered and sanded, but even at this stage it looks the proverbial million bucks. The...

If they give you the tone you need then they're fine. I haven't heard a bad word about ESP basses. They're great bang for the buck.

Very cool. Great tone.

I have a Demeter pre in my James Tyler bass. It's just real powerful in the way that it shapes sound. There's no extreme, unusual settings, it just allows you to tweak sounds to what you need at the time.

Just what I was thinking.

Things are coming on apace at AC Guitars. To be honest, I forgot to post these previous pics. The rout below the bridge is for the wires which run from the piezo saddles in the bridge to the control cavity. This rout prevents the wiring from being squashed by the Hipshot bridge itself...

Here's the latest progress pic of the ACG9. With the bass nearing completion, the excitement is definately building!! With the bridge and pickups in place, you can really see how the finished bass will look.
