bigdguitars Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Ok here is my entry. Flammed maple neck, mahogany, paduk, flammed birch sides. Hand carved top, fender gold sensor pickups. cocobolo fretboard. 25in scale jumbo frets and grover tuners. custom matched flammed maple control cavity. hand rubbed tung oil finish. This guitar was the second guitar that I made and was a dog, I recarved the top and reshapped the neck and its a player now sounds and feels awesome.

KTLguitars Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Magnum648 I don't know if I have the courage, but I guess there is nothing to lose. As a newbie here, I would like to try out my last "weapon". This guitar is my 3rd complete guitarproject and the first where I have used FEM-analyses (Finite Element Method) in the design phase, in addition to 3D solid modeling. This was very interesting and brought the guitar building hobby to a new level, both beeing able to see what it will look like, making good balance by optimizing the position of the centre of gravity, and also avoid unwanted resonances before even buying a piece of wood! The result turned out to be a real joy to play! A presentation of the Magnum648 is laying here: My Magnum648 page Sample picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkle Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 KTL, That's really an impressive piece of work. Did you have that aluminum plate machined? Is there any relation with your design and Spalt Bass I think I need to wait until next month to enter my first attempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTLguitars Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 hi funkle, the aluminium is water jet cut, and the filleting of the edges is done by a regular wood router with hard metal router bits for wood! Regarding the Spalt bass, thanks for showing me - I have never seen it before - but, it is clear that we have many similarities both regarding design and consept (a paralell to how the human beings have been developed in parall on different continents... ).
