GuitarGoat Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I've been working on this beast for a little while now. The specs are going to be: Maple Neck-thru Neck - 10 degree headstock angle Bound Ebony fretboard - 22 frets Maple Body wings Seymour Duncan Dimebucker Bridge Pickup Dimarzio Evolution Black/White Neck Pickup Floyd Rose II double locking bridge from Kramer 610 Dot Inlays Individual Pickup Volumes and Tones Master Volume EMG Afterburner Switches for Series/Coil Split/Parallel on each pickup Killswitch Active/Passive Switch (Takes Afterburner out of circuit) I think that's about it. I'll get some progress pics up here once their loaded on my computer. Any suggestions or opinions would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I like where most of this is going But a few comments: -Why the choice of maple for the body, when you've got a maple neck and ebony fretboard? -With the maple and a treble-y Dimebucker, I hope the resulting sound of the guitar isn't too sharp -To my knowledge, I don't think you need the switch to take the Afterburner out of the circuit Any progress started yet? What shape/paint job are you doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 we definately need pics... i did a roughly ML shaped thing a few years ago and i keep toying with the idea of doing another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGoat Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 There's a bad shot of the neck and headstock There's the body with some of the hardware on it. Xanthus, I'm not sure if the Afterburner needs the switch to take it out of the circuit. I wish my pickups weren't active on my other guitar so I could test it...

Xanthus Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 The main reason I say that is because it works with both passive and active systems. It does need a battery, though, but supposedly you can use it with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGoat Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Well yea, you can use it with either, but I'm putting the switch on so that if the battery runs out, I can flip the switch and still use the guitar without the Afterburner.

GuitarGoat Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I just cut the fingerboard so that the binding can be installed! It took me a little while to get to that, but I've got most of the parts now too, so hopefully I'll be able to get it going again. I'll try to get pictures up soon!

ihocky2 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Do you have a close up of the headstock? How did you join the extension piece of wood on, scarf joint or gluing end grain together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGoat Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 It's a scarf joint. I'll try to get a close up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
