LGM Guitars Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Well, this probably should be in the acoustic section, but that section just doesn't get as much traffic and I'm proud of this puppy, I wanna show it off!! LOL besides, this is inlays and finishing chat, and it's inlayed, and has a finish on it, and it's almost finished LOL!!!!!! I just need to leave it strung up a couple days to let the wood move under tension and then I'll take it apart once more, and finish the whole thing! But man is looks sounds and plays great! yeah I know there's dust on the headstock,and I haven't cut the low E short yet, but come on, I'm not finished yet LOL!!! Quote
the third eye Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 I LOVE IT!!, it's beautiful!! how about a close up of the neck inlay? is it a strange vine? Quote
Sean Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Very very nice as usual, Jeremy. I would also like to see an inlay close up pic. Quote

Guitarfrenzy Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Now that's an awesome guitar.. Simply one thing I can say about it.. WOW!!!! p.s. Now I know I got to learn how to make an acoustic next.. lol Quote
woodfixer Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Very very nice. I notice a little extra stock at neck & head .Strength? Is that spruce top? Quote
LGM Guitars Posted July 25, 2003 Author Report Posted July 25, 2003 Hey guys, thanks for the kind words. The guitar is as follows, Rosewood back and sides Sitka Spruce top Mahogany neck Ebony fretboard Abalone/brass/gold/wood inlays Dunlop 6140 frets (Universe frets LOL) The Volute on the back of the neck (the diamond shape) is for added material for a little extra strength. I believe it's a martin idea. The action is really low, less than 1mm at the 12th, it plays beautifully. It has a Fishman transducer piezo pickup in it, and it sounds phenominal! The neck profile is close to what a slightly narrower Universe neck would be, but little thicker. There is quite a bit of abalone in this guitar, the neck inlay, headstock inlay, bridge inlay, and the neck heel are all abalone It's a wonderful guitar, I am very happy indeed Quote
Agent Jem Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Great Job as usual man I especially like the inlay work, looks awesome Again, great job Quote
hezochiah Posted July 27, 2003 Report Posted July 27, 2003 You just can't make an ugly guitar can you?!? Great work and I am very jealous. Quote
