Boggs Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Here's a few pics of a bit of my work on guitars this weekend... Prototype CamelBackPack Coa/Cuban travel guitar neck/headstock. Neck is one of the 2 maple necks I got on eBAY. Still refining the shape. Suggestions welcomed... http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Gui...Headstock1S.JPG Next, 5 pics of more padauk I have been bookmatching for when orders start flowing in uncontrollably... Got to be prepared for the mad rush ... You can pick your top and back to have me make your guitar with. What other builder allows you to do that? All are rough sanded at this point with no seam inlay yet or finish, obviously. Sorry 'bout the shadow on the last one... http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Gui...Bookmatch2S.JPG http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Gui...Bookmatch3S.JPG http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Gui...Bookmatch4S.JPG http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Gui...Bookmatch5S.JPG Did some home repairs with my wife, too, but I'll spare you those.

Setch Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 You can pick your top and back to have me make your guitar with. What other builder allows you to do that? uuuumm... you know this is extremely common, right? Maybe not in production instruments, but amoungst hand builders I think it's par for the course.

Supernova9 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Those are some nice tops, but I must say that headstock shape is not exactly my preference. The tip of the headstock doesn't really fit with the rest of the flowing curves. Just something to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not in production instruments, but amoungst hand builders I think it's par for the course. ← This has been my experience. For my Dingwall bass Sheldon Dingwall sent me photos of various tops matching what I was looking for until we found something I was happy with that he could use for all the components. Also, there are a number of builders that have pictures of the various tops and fretboards that they have in stock so that people can choose the one that they want.

Boggs Posted November 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Actually, I was asking the question. I realize the way I wrote it made it sound like it was something exclusive to me. Sorry 'bout that. I have never ordered a custom chambered body electric guitar before. I know it is common in the acoustic world. I'm new at this...

I am going to use it on my prototype CamelBackPacker small chambered body koa/Cuban mahogany guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeiscosRock Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 The headstock looks like a bird perched up there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it from brian right? THanks Ash HK ← The neck looks and feels pretty good. Obviously not a high end neck, as it does need a string tree, but it seems reasonably well made. I'll know more once I finish a guitar to bolt it to... I have a second one as well. I got it on a "close-out" deal on eBAY from Jay Juliano...
