Brian Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 That is a cool looking first timer Guitar, what kind of wood did you use for the body? I think I would try to reshape the inside of the upper horn beside the neck, just to make it a little easier to play the upper register. I see you have the PRS kinda thing for the headstock, oh and welcome to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Fruit Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 iots top notch, i just hope my first guitar ends up like tht. How much did you spend making that wee beasty? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 i agree with brian, you might want to continue shaping the right side of the guitar in the pic if you're going for a strat copy, unless you're going for that exact design shape, in that case it's kinda funky looking! reminds me kinda of the peavy wolfgang model. what is that wood?

Dan Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Very sexay. Put a few coats of clear on it and it is good enough to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Pretty good! I've not evenstarted on my first one yet, (I've gotta get a job first to fund it all.) but i hope my first turns out as good as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roli Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Nice looking axe that is! Could you put up some mp3's you played with this beaut? I'm just curious of the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Looks good to me... very good for first guitar.. I just hope the first one I build from scratch looks anywhere near that good... very nice wood.. and I agree.. just some nitrocellulose lacquer from Plasti-Kote(Super Lacquer) or better yet from www.stewmac.com or Guitar Reranch.... just promise to show more photos after your done...

rokstr Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Pretty good! I've not evenstarted on my first one yet, (I've gotta get a job first to fund it all.) but i hope my first turns out as good as that. Loki- Did you go to Full Sail? I knew a guy named Loki down there, and I've never seen anyone else with that name... Just wondering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_urr_A Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Loki, you don't happen to know the place www.maxforums.org, do you? (Wondering if you are you or if you are someone else...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarchump Posted July 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Yea I will post more pics when its finished but for now I’m looking on what’s the best way to do it. And I’m also starting on my ESP explorer copy. And yea I used like the cheapest parts I could (except for saddles) so that if it sounded like crap I didn’t really lose too much money on the project. And yea I need to cut off on the right side. At first I wasn’t going to use a pick guard then I did so it looks kind of weird now, but it will be fixed in a matter of days And yes I used alder for the body and an alder laminated neck (sounds weird but it works and yea I got all the wood for free that’s why I use alder for every thing. I spent $250 Canadian The Prs headstock is there because I didn’t want a fender headstock I wanted some thing different for the style of guitar and I have to admit the piece of wood wasn’t big enough for a 6 in line head stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarchump Posted July 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Oh and 1 other thing I will try to add some mp3's soon cant guarantee they will be great (I have a home recording thing so the will be ok quality) but the problem is I guess I’m not the greats guitar player only been playing for like 2 years or so ill do my best to make it sound ok. And form the looks of this site it sounds like everyone’s like some tech guy or some guy who makes a living with guitars lol And ill put some more pics up of different angles if u people want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_urr_A Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Don't worry about you being inexperienced, we all have been once (and I am still ). And, yeah, more angles would be cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
