Gustav

Hey guys, Just wanted to say that we did all that we could to keep the instrument nice and light. Body is just 38 mm thick, with quite large pocket for electronics (easily fits 5, even 6 potentiometers), also, if you would compare body shape and size with jazz bass, you would see that even dough strap locks are on the same position, the body is much much slimmer. Since you mentioned maple as light species, let me say that our maple models are just 3.4 kg, and this one turned out at 4.2 kg

We made this one for a customer, he only insisted on five strings and everything else was up to us. This one is made from wenge, oak, padouk, ebony and maple. Quite a lot of different species but they went together just fine. The body is made from oak and wenge in shape of our spring bass model while the head was custom. Neck is made from padouk and maple strips while the fretboard is made from hard ebony with two veneer layers of maple and wenge. We went for a clean look so no engravings and markings on the fingerboard this time, just a Lignum logo laser burned on to the body. Back electronics and battery covers are also made from wenge wood. harware we used for this build is EMG JX set, Schaller BM Light machine heads, Schaller 3D-5 bridge, Schaller S-locks, Daddario EXL 165-5 strings. I hope you like this this project! Please ask any question in the comments. =D Out website: www.lignum-art.com P.S. I would be more than happy if you decided to check how it was made on our YouTube channel:

Hello ProjectGuitar! My name is Gustav, and I am posting on behalf of me and my brother Grgur, who is owner of a youtube channel under the name "lignum" with over 220 000 subscribers. Few months ago, we decided to make our first electric guitar, and it turned out good, we had a plan to make one guitar video for every season of the year, after autumn and winter, we finished our project for spring a few days ago, and I have to say that it came out really beautiful. We started liking this hobby of ours so much that we would like to branch out our business. We gathered considerable level of knowledge on all kind of fields, i am wooden technology engineer and i am playing bass guitar, my brother Grgur is civil engineer, my dear friend Ante who is playing guitar for half of his life is pH.D. student in electrical engineering, and we are giving our best to produce high end products. Guitars that we made are ready for production, and we are looking to sell them, they came out perfectly, and this are their specs: Guitars are neck through, made from maple wood with mahogany veneer, 2 stripes of mahogany go from head to bottom of the body, and one sheet of veneer is glued on top of body, and under fretboard, so you can see stripe of it from the side of the neck, fret markers on the side of the neck are also made from mahogany wood, and bird inlays under frets are made with epoxy mixed with mahogany dust, so it matches colour of the wood. Truss rod is hand made in our shop, and we designed our own wheel to turn it!
