MattHatter Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 (edited) I've been looking into making my own custom guitar and was wondering if anyone knows how/if i can get a finish like the Gibson Voodoo series guitars, since the voodoo series gibsons are no longer being made i thought i might as well make my own.

Bytrix Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 I found this : The swamp ash body and special finish give the Voodoos a lighter feel. Swamp ash is 10 percent lighter than mahogany and more porous. The guitars are painted ebony and then rubbed with red filler; a satin lacquer coat completes the unique stained finish, showcasing the grain and allowing the wood to breathe.

loquito5765 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Oh man, im absolutely in love with the voodoo series too. Every once and a while you see one on ebay for an unbelieveable price. I heared somewhere that their coming back out again, but I seriously doubt that. Any clue why they were discontinued in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played the explorer and though it was better than the 'goth' range, nice tone, and that finish is wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattHatter Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 (edited) Cool, tell me how it comes out, i don't think my guitar design would be as cool without that crazy voodoo color Edited September 7, 2005 by MattHatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
