Mitch Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Oakie Doke 5 This is my second proper build but my last build before this was three years ago (I'm now 17 years old). I have come across many new things and learned a lot. Specs: All the wood except the veneer and the fretboard has been locally sourced and was grown within a few miles of where I live. Body: Burl oak top and sycamore back with a thin layer of cedar between Neck: 3 laminates of cherry (the centre laminate is from a different tree hence the colour difference) Fretboard: Indian rosewood with spalted beech inlay 34" scale length 5 strings (BEADG) Through-neck 24 frets 10" radius Chrome hardware 3-layer bound fretboard My own body shape design Seymour Duncan Basslines Phase II pickup Volume control Tone control with push/pull to switch between 2 different capacitor values (one is a standard tone control, one has a high cutoff point to subtly smooth out the sound) Second tone control (with very low cutoff point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardine Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 "MaccaPherson" Was dubbed such by my classmates at Southeast Tech, due to its resemblance of a McPherson guitar. This was not intentional, but the name just kinda stuck. The body shape is identical to a Maccaferri guitar, best known as Django Reinhardt's weapon of choice. The cutaway was modified for easier upper-fret access, and the bracing patterns for the top and back were completely redesigned. The decorated sound-port in the upper bout is mostly for visual appeal; most of the porting is provided by the large side-port. Mr. Juntunen, I don't recall if we met, but I remember you guitar from the show at Red Wing. My compliments dude, you do very clean work. You have a sweet instrument. Details: Back and Sides: Indian Rosewood, the sides being extras from the McPherson factory Top: Western Red Cedar Neck: Honduran Mahogany with Bloodwood laminates Fingerboard: Ebony, bound and inlaid in Bloodwood Bracing: Original bracing pattern, in Sitka Spruce with Indian Rosewood caps on the notches Bridge and Tailpiece: Bloodwood Link to photobucket album, includes detail shots of the bracing viewed through the side-port. http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af353/RFJGuitars/Maccaferri/ Congrats to all who have entered so far, these are some seriously cool guitars. Rock on, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whalehazard Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 - Victory SH This is more or less based on a 58 V, with the old type of neck joint. Obviously, there weren't any semi-hollow ones. Reverse headstock is my design. Customer didn't want a truss rod cover, so the headstock access is painted black, as are the bevels on the headstock. Semi-hollow maple body, top and set neck Rosewood FB, white side dots 24 3/4" scale Gotoh tuners Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece Headstock logo inlay of aluminum, recon stone, and gold glitter plastic Black ABS double binding on body Bone nut Custom wound humbuckers by a local repairman 2 vol, 1 tone, 3 way switch Control cavity is built into a "box" in lower leg of the V, to allow access from back and to ensure proper shielding.
