Post by: edwardofhuncote on August 04, 2016, 08:04:13 AM: I don't have any recent pictures, but here's one I took of of my Persuader 5 last summer, against the backdrop of a giant poplar tree. That poplar tree is a very popular spot for spoken vows at a nearby wedding venue. (and nobody gets the irony like I do... 8) )

Post by: edwardofhuncote on September 05, 2016, 03:12:09 PM: Just got back from a weekend of camping and music... for the past 7 years, we've been the host band at this mountain campground on Labor Day and Memorial Day weekends. It's not very far from home, but Lithia, Virginia is one of my favorite places to hideout with my friends and play some music.

This little spring-fed pond near our camp seemed like a good place to pose the Distillate. :D

Agreed.

Both of those are absolutely lovely.

Post by: geepee on August 24, 2017, 01:05:55 PM: To keep the Direwolf bridge looking that shiny (it's just polished brass in the photo above) I gold plated it yesterday. Just put it back on now. Looks good.
I need more chemicals to do the bridge block and tailpiece to get it all the same. As you can see, the brass is more yellow than the gold - and no, the intonation is not properly set yet.

(edit - I did the nut as well to match the peghead Alembic logo which was already gold)
