Marzocchi705 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 That is one damn fine looking guitar! Quote
AlGeeEater Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 Yeah i've been exploring his site for quite sometime now. He used to have a ton more on THIS: http://www.guitaristjeffmiller.com/guitars.htm page, but he re-did the site. His tele that he built from scratch was amazing! Quote
28if Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 I'm planning on doing a similar guitar with simpler electronics, and I thought it would be much easier to set the mahoghany and maple together before even cutting out the the shape of the body. The only major difference is that I'm going to be using a bolt on neck. Any thoughts on which way is more practical? Thanks. Quote
bigdguitars Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 the dudes a pro. What a great looking axe! That should be entered in GOTM Quote
ninoman123 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 That top looks like velvet! When can I get one!!! Quote
GregP Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Too bad about the rear access plates, but the rest is killer! Quote
Maiden69 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 Too bad about the rear access plates, but the rest is killer! ← I second that Greg! I am against using different type of wood in the control plates... It detract from the flow of the guitar. I do admire the marksmanship that took to acomplish the covers, but even in mahogany with a different grain would have looked better. Everything else is great. I'm a bit thrown away with that he carved the top before glueing it, but everybody has their different methods. Quote
Duff Beer Man Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 is it possible to buy just the variax electronics? if so i have some plans..... Quote
rokeros Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 every1 does, too bad if some1 were to do this, they would be broke in a week. Quote
GregP Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 You can't get the Variax electronics seperately, as far as I know. You'll just have to get the cheapest Variax (the 500?) and gut it. Regarding the wood contrast, I agree that even a different mahogany would have worked better. BUT, that failing-- I think he should have gone for the gusto and just made the rear access panels in the same red as the top. It'd contrast, but still be consistent with the guitar. In any event, even he seems to acknowledge it was a bad choice. If it bugs him enough, you could see an update photo some day: "I just HAD to make new panels," or "I stripped them back down and dyed them red." Greg Quote
Maiden69 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 I haven't seen any variax electronics out there, but I think that they might be available... I don't think that Warmoth will be making variax routed bodies if there was no big sale opportunities. Quote
BLADE RH4 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 OMG that is incredible. That is awesome work. I'm not a fan of PRS type guitars, but that ones got me thinking I could be a fan..... Seriously impressed (picking my jaw up off the ground). Quote
Jon Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 Listen to the sound clips. I strongly dislike a lot of country, but that is flat out amazing. Quote
PhoenixCreations Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Beautiful guitar, Beautiful sound. What are you doing talking to us? You should be out making millions. ... I'm flattered. Amazing work, truly. Michael Quote
