jay5 Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 The craftsmanship is unbelievable. As an art piece I think its incredible but as a guitar? Come on, thats the most impractical thing I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digideus Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) Ive seen this before and I believe it was an Ed Roman guitar. Ragas, I love the carvings. Never seen Buckeye before. Whats it like to work with and whats its acoustic qualities? Edited March 17, 2005 by Digideus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenkat Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 thanks, guys ........that "exotic guitars" is amasing......... and RAGAS your's are just as amazing if not more so,just becuse i happen to like those kind of guitars(the whole death metal deal,) funny as it may sound i built a body that resembles the goratory body,how funny, it is pretty different thought, but still ..........

Ragasguitars Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Thanks guys. Digideus, buckeye burl has no real acoustical qualities as far as I know. It is very soft and brittle, mostly used for an exotic look. As far as working with it it is very easy to work with since it is very very soft, but it is also what makes it hard to work with, you have to be very careful with it. A bookmatched set with about a 3/8" thickness is about $100. It is very very pourous, I used a 2 ton epoxy as a sealer, had to even coat it 3 times to get it smooth and completely sealed. The guitar is all out of one piece of honduran mahogany, no glue joints expect for the fretboard, and the buckeye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anekretia Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 definately can be found on Ed Romans site, dont recall who built it, but all that can be obtained on his site, while we are pitching guitar work, lol here is my latest . . . http://guitar-dominion.com/phoenixguitars/Phoenixhome.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
