The New E.F.Elliott "RS Model" Guitars

[ElTwang]

Wow Ed! I'm really looking forward to see the black and yellow RS' finished. Are you going to install your standard pups in these?

Hi Lars, the black RS is intended to be something of a blues machine. Will have beefier frets and be more bend-friendly than before. P'ups will be "underwound" to about 10K--somewhere north of a P90. Don't worry about paint covering up the great wood selection. It'll have peekaboo bursts on the back of the neck and headstock. It's gonna be cool.

That yellow one is a Mark 1 body. Love that fingerboard!

Sounds cool, Reber. El Ray is gonna shoot a pro video this Sunday and the Elliott Silver Burst RS is of course going to be in it! Part of the video will get recorded in the first colour format ever, Kodachrome film. And it'll also be the last as you can't get that kind of film developed after Dec. 30 anymore. This will be interesting and cool to get some Mosrite'y stuff on vintage film .

Hey Lars,

Can't wait to see the new "El Ray" video.
"El Rays" new album "Chasing Ray" is one
of the finest Surf albums I've ever heard!
and a must for any Surf guitarist or Surf
music fans music collection.
I hope to have new photos of the finished 2 new
E.F.Elliott RS model guitars and the E.F.Elliott
Custom TV yellow '65 model.

Stay tuned!

It is indeed the end of days for Kodachrome film. But I'm thrilled to know that El Ray and E.F. Elliott will be memorialized on this notable and nearly extinct medium. I hope your shoot was good and crazy!

Cool link, Reber. Looks like it'll take a little while to get the film developed now the whole world is sending their Kodachrome films to Kansas.

I p.m.'ed Ed earlier, then found this thread. Nevermind my questions Ed! I've done my research, and am insanely impressed! Gorgeous work!

The RS is still high on my GAS list. Look forward to seeing the different styles, and the new projects as they are completed.

Happy to oblige! Introducing the E.F. Elliott RS tenor ukulele.

Wow! That's fantastic!

Of course, I can't wait to hear clips of that 3 pu DeLuxe when it's finished.
