mtc Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Here is my "B-in-Law" single cut. As you can see from the pictures, the goal was to keep the single cut idea moving throughout the guitar. As a result, the rear cavity cover (quilted maple) and the headstock both have the shape of the single cut body. Here are the specs: Body: Poplar with a Zebrawood/Rosewood/Paduak top Neck: Quilted maple/Purple Heart/Zebrawood Fret Board: Quilted maple/Purple Heart/Zebrawood Hardware: Hard tail bridge (All gold colored) Pickup: One Gold colored Humbucker 50's reissue I made the fret board out of the same material as the neck so it came out looking like it is one piece. The guitar is finished in Lacquer. Let me know what you think!! Mark mtc customs (a cnc free zone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigthemLows Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) It's not perfect, but it's my first build and it turned out light years better than I thought it would as far as playability and sound! Finished 1/1/07 No good idea for a name.........I like elephants, so how about: The Elephanned Prototype Walnut and Flame Maple with a Birdseye Board 36.5 to 34 Scale Bartolini Soapbars Bartolini 2-band Preamp (Volume, Blend, Bass, Treble) Hipshot Ultralight Tuners Schaller straplocks And well over 25 coats of hand rubbed tru-oil. Here's my attempts at getting an artsy natural light shot. Here's a full Frontal Shot Here's the Back And a shot of the Walnut Nut I made (before I truly strung it up and wrapped the string ends) Walnut Nut Edited January 16, 2007 by DigthemLows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcovis Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) Specs: Semi-hollow mahogany back, 7/8" East coast flame maple top, heeless deep-set 3-piece flame maple neck, ebony board, ebony headcap, 25" scale, medium frets, 2 vol, 2 tone, 3way switch, cherry burst w/ scraped binding, gotoh hardware, custom wound WB pickups with NOS wire from 1967! Cool inlay shot before finishing Edited January 22, 2007 by Marcovis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telenator Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) Here's my "RickenRocker" This is a little piece I whipped up out of frustration at not being about to buy a Rickenbacker 360 with the features I wanted. The wood is Black Walnut and Maple. The Black Walnut was torn out of a rural family cabin 50 years ago and has sat in a shed ever since. The wood was actually used as stair treads in the cabin! A travesty! This guitar features a 25 1/2" scale length with a Fender style "string through" Hipshots bridge. The peg head is thinner than a Ric and tilted back 1 extra degree because of the height of the tuners. The fret board inlay is of the same black walnut and it a modified Ric-style inlay. I feel that the curve added to the inlay better suits the design of the guitar. I maintained the 1/16 radius at the points to be respectful to the original. The binding is of the same maple used for the neck. The pickups are out of a 1968 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. I originally had Seymour Duncan Antiquity Firebird pickups in the guitar but they didn't get the tone I was hoping for. The control layout is very simplified ( volume, tone, 3 way switch) as I am a gigging musician and the 6 knobs on a Ric 360 are just too much for me to deal with on stage.

shadowcaster Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) This is one of my first guitars that I built. I wanted something a little bit out there. Sort of EVH jump inspired, I guess. Anyway, I call it the Jump-In' Man guitar. It is a maple body and neck with Seymour Duncan humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. http://www.projectguitar.com/gal/Robertson/JMAN.jpg http://www.projectguitar.com/gal/Robertson/JMAN1.jpg http://www.projectguitar.com/gal/Robertson/JMAN3.jpg Edited January 22, 2007 by shadowcaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
