Long awaited Feline 20th anniversary model unleashed

[axisus]

The awesomeness that we have come to love and expect from Feline is in plentiful abundance. I'm going to sell a kidney and buy one.

Now where can I find an unsuspecting donor ....

Nice idea but I'm afraid I can't give any guitars away - however maybe I might drum up a competition to win swag like strings and t shirts if I can think up something fun

why don't you do a ticket prize draw type thingy!
£5 a ticket, 600 tickets, you get ya 3 grand and we get a 600 to 1 chance of getting our hands on number 8!

i'll have 2 tickets please jonathan

all looking gorgeous and i'd definitely buy a couple of tickets

[bandmaster188]

if this idea does take off you should let me win as it was my idea

Unfortunately there laws surrounding lotteries, raffles & sweepstakes that can land you in deep trouble if you don't get a license (possibly expensive), and even get you fined or jailed and that doesn't appeal .
Kind of a mega drag as it would be a fun idea.

EDIT : OK - to put the raffle/sweepstake bit of the conversation to rest - I phoned the gambling commission to get proper advice:

We can't do it as a raffle without it being gambling - unless all thew money goes to a good cause and the prize has to be under £50.

We could do the "buy a certain product from us and you'll be entered into a free prize draw" type scenario because you are being entered FREE into the draw and only paying for goods that you will receive.

So maybe if we said "buy a set of pickups from us and you'll be entered into a prize draw where you'll have a 1 in 300 chance of winning and once we've sold 300 sets of pickups we'll announce a winner, that might work.

Other than that keep playing the National Lottery..........

Anyway back to the guitars themselves

Hey chaps - been busy adding a few pages to the Feline Guitars website to try and bring it up to speed with the 20th Anniversary stuff.

Here is a link to the section we've started for it - there will be much more to follow as the builds go along and more photos get taken

Hope you like!

No 3 is my personal favourite, since I'm not really a fan of either over-the-top quilts or traditional even flame (especially not chevrons), but they're still all beautiful pieces of wood.

No 8 is completely mad, but you should definitely consider making it a stopbar bridge model or the tailpiece will go right across some of the most amazing figure - there's almost a 'cow face' right there .

No 9 needs to be a Junior...

A couple more finally coming back from paint and looking pretty

This is number 4 which looks amazing in aqua - someone nicknamed it "Ice" and number 5 below "Fire" although the intention was Raspbery









More pictures as we get them completed and ready for sale

The first one - the pale prototype sold very quickly - somebody asked to try it and sat with a happy grin playing it for a few minutes and quickly got their card out and bought it
I was somewhat astonished at how quickly he made such a decision, but he knew he liked it enough to have to buy it. (very nice when that happens)
