skelf Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) Hi My first attempt at the guitar of the month, be nice. Alan The spec. Camphor burl top and back with a black limba core and black contrast veneers. The neck is a 5 piece black limba/maple with a camphor head-plate back-plate and heel all with double veneers. The fingerboard is acrylic impregnated Quilted Maple. The neck has an asymmetric profile. The hardware. Hipshot Type A bridge and Hipshot Ultralites and Schaller Straplocks. The pickups are ACG FatBas humbuckers and the pre-amp is the ACG bass pre-amp. The bass also has coil switching via 2 micro-switches. The finish is AC lacquer 50% sheen on the body and head-stock 20% on the back of the neck. Edited October 27, 2006 by skelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Well we are going to have to see some damn nice guitars in this competition if anyone is going to beat Alan's Oh well, here goes nothing: Its a black limba body with burl maple top and the usual wenge andmaple accent lines running around the edge. The body has been really drastically carved away on the back for better access - i wasnt sure if it had worked that well (too close to be the best judge sometimes) but the guitar shop who are selling it for me loved it The neck is birdseye maple with a ziracote fretboard with ebony and maple binding. Tuners are the planet waves auto trim ones - i love them. Bridge is a wilkinson trem. Pickups are a bareknuckle crawler humbucker and two bareknuckle mothers milk single coils. They are amazing and i am going to try and stretch to bareknuckle pickups for most of my future guitars . This guitar gives pretty much any classic sound you could hope for, especially with the addition of a bridge coil split and neck adder switch.

rogerabjet Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) The Surf Guitar Hello everyone - here's my first guitar. Ever. Please be gentle. (I realize I have no chance of winning with this entry, mainly cos I absolutely love pukko's guitar, but I thought it might at least spark some lively conversation/debate.) Obviously, it is a surfboard guitar, which was commissioned by an art gallery in Dublin, to be painted by the artist Tom Byrne, as part of his summer gallery show. It was commissioned as a surfboard shape in order to reflect the aquatic and seascape style in which he paints. A few minor bits; the neck join is cut into the fretboard, a special request by the gallery in order to maintain the full surfboard shape, and as such, it has two unusable 'semi-frets', so in reality, it's a 15 fret guitar, that is half guitar, half art piece. The finish is entirely the artist's work - i take no credit for that, and it is quite a textured, almost rough painting, with several lacquer layers to protect the texture of the finished painting on top of the guitar. It is a maple body, with a center strip of mahogany, similar to the construction of a real surfboard, partially to help strengthen the neck join (which as you can see, is unorthodox, to say the least!) The body is an anotomically correct replica of a Proctor Levee surfboard, and the headstock is again, an anotomically correct representation of a BZ Flybat bodyboard. If anyone's interested in looking at the boards themselves, I'll include the links at the bottom of the page. Also, if anyone wants to see the only surfboard guitar that I have found that pre-dates mine, please have a look at http://www.rabjet.com/index.php?page=surfguitar - it's even crazier than mine! If anyone else can find pictures of surfboard guitars - I'd love to see 'em! Anyway, enough - here are the specs: Kent Armstrong Gibson P90 Humbucker retrofit Steinberger gearless tuners Tonepros locking Tune-o-matic Bridge and Tailpiece Double pot wiring Vintage Bone Nut p.s. I'm not a surfer. The guy who commissioned it is...
