scorpionscar Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I open this topic for showing you my last building, which is a Little tribute to my city Ponferrada. In Ponferrada there is a Templarian castle and in its honour I present the “Templarian warrior”. (This is not a step by step topic) The neck is a 5 layer multilaminated that alternates europena maple and bubinga. The combination of the two colours is amazing: Once the pieces of the laminated are glued, I’ve thickened and cut the scarf joint in this case 15º. After that I did the truss rod channel. Then I cut the shape of the neck with the band saw: Now I’ve been working in the fingerboard. It will be made out of ebony. The radious is 12”. I designed a cross inlay made out of MOP. I glued it with resin. After that I cut the fret slots: At this stage the neck is almost done. The next step is to shape it with the help of the spokeshave: Now some pics of the headstock, rear and front. Hope you like it: The neck is ready. Now the body, for it I’ve used spanish cedar. The top is completely hand carved with gouges. I routed the channels for the wires instead of doing the tholes with a bit: Here the detail of the making of the zone of the neck where the pick up frame goes: Now some pics of the through holes of the strings in the body: The rear recess for the bely: At this stage I couldn’t resist the temptation of a photo shoot in the Ponferrada’s templarian castle: Now the finish of this templarian warrior: I finished the neck with tung oil and the guitar is almost ready for assembling Scorpionscar Edited January 9, 2019 by scorpionscar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice design and beautiful result Thank you so much for your words Andyjr1515, I love the history of Templars, maybe cause in the city where I live in, there is a Templars castle and a strong Templar tradition.

Thank you so much mistermikev, really like the effect of the white top of the body and headstock, with the false binding of the maple and the rest of the woods viewed.
