redliquid Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) Hello everyone! This is my first post here.. I started a few months ago thinking in building a Mosrite Mark V. A friend helped me with the Solidworks project and the body will be made in a CNC machine. And the neck was made by another friend. For now i will just post some photos from the neck..

TheIRS Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Wow! I just saw a picture of one of those the other day, and I have to say, they are cool looking guitars. Should be an interesting project, how far along is the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redliquid Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hi there.. I'm back to the project, finally.. But i've changed my plans.. The body won't be made on a cnc anymore and i wont be doing it like a copy of the Mark V. First, inspired on the "Jazzblaster", the guitar that Lee Ranaldo from Sonic Youth uses, i bought 2 wide range pickups. Second, instead of the Bigsby i'm thinking in using a tailpiece of a Jazzmaster or one from a Mustang. So, any ideas? Dynamic Tremolo or Floating Tremolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemjinStrife Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) Dynamic. Much more stable than the floating Jazzmaster/Jaguar trem, with more sustain and less dead string length.

metallisomething Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 looks cool. What kind of wood is the body supposed to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redliquid Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Thanks for the opinions. Dynamic seems to be the best choice for me too, but i was trying to know if i'm making the right choice.. The body will be made in a 10year piece of ash.. I hope to start the body 'till the end of this month.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redliquid Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Any advice on a store to buy the bridge and the tailpiece in europe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j. pierce Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Ooh - post back when you drop those in - they seem to be the only thing approaching a repro of the old Wide-Range Humbuckers that I've seen around - I'm curious if they sound anything like the old vintage ones, or like the ones on new fenders (which really just sound like a regular humbucker under a fancy cover) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redliquid Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Eiii! Almost 2 years after i started this project,here i am finishing it. Due lack of time,i did everything as i could. It's almost over now.. The guitar is already painted and i have everything i need. The only thing missing is the decal for the headstock and i got no clue how im going to solve it. This is the idea for it but replacing the trem. And finally, :D Im wiring it like a "Jazzblaster",bought some 1meg cts pots and orange drop caps. Regarding the decal,any advices??

Dirge for november Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hey! Great looking build! I've got a question for you solidworks friend! I use solidworks, and was wondering how to make a guitar shape, as (even in 2d from the top) I don't know what radius guitars have. Does he use a background or something? Cheers!
