boroducci Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi everyone. I thought about my own handmade guitar last few years and I decided to do it. I have to say, that guitar is already done and I show you photos of process from woods to ready guitar Specs: sapele body with maple top maple/sapele neck with rosewood fretboard, 25,5", 24 frets Jescar stainless steel frets Fokin pickups - Demolition set (passive) Tuners, bridge - Gotoh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Fantastic, very clean and "by the numbers"! It looks like your shop (or workplace) is nicely equipped and clearly your existing experience helped you to make your first guitar an excellent one. Are you planning on making any more? You should enter that into our Guitar Of The Month contest next month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boroducci Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks! Really our workshop make guitar repairs over 10 years. And in 2015 we decided to start making our own guitars. After excellent first model I start few more projects, I will post some info about them. And now some photos of first guitar. I call it Fresco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Excellent craftsmanship. That is a very clean build. Good looking guitar too! SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightroExpress Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 NIce! To echo what Scott and Carl said, your experience is easy to see in the quality of your work. I'm looking forward to seeing more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjr1515 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I like this very much. A very crisp and attractive use of woods and colours, both on the body and especially the neck. Top drawer stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boroducci Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Had no possibility to record good demo, but could show 2 short videos with my friends 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 It looks fantastic and sounds great, really like the straight 3 a side headstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Looks and sounds great! Thanks for posting videos of the guitar getting played. That's something I'm always craving at the end of a build thread (and honestly, I feel like it should be a requirement for any Guitar of the Month entry).
