Hi, my name is Anthony. I'm 23 years old and live in Arkansas. I've been watching this site and trying to learn as much as possible over the past few months. I thought it was about time I actually introduced myself. I have played guitar on and off for about 12 years. Also have been obsessed with modding them for about a year and a half and found interest in extended range instruments at the same time. I do have a little knowledge in wood working, I have been a custom knifemaker since the age of 8 and have dabbled with furniture building and veneer work. I'm very excited because I am getting ready to do my very first full build. I plan of keeping it simple:

Mahogany bodied 8-string

27" scale, 25 fret, w/ ebony board

on/ 5-piece bolt-on neck

w/ hipshot fixed bridge

& Lundgren M8 in bridge w/ 1 vol pot

At this point in my planning I am unsure as to what body shape I'm going to go with. I was thinking Explorer or Iceman. I'm sure I will have many more questions during the build. I promise I will only ask if I cant find the answer using the "search" feature. I look foward to talking to you guys and making new friends.

Thanks,

Anthony :D

Bonjour!

Custom knife maker? how do you fit 21" spinners to a knife handle? can i see one?

As to body shape iceplorer anyone? I am doing something a bit like but curvier and not very well! Look in building a guitar on a budget in the progress section the project is a bit further on now and the wais is a whole lot skinnier but once more i've lost my camera DAMN the drink!

Glad to have you on-board I think I can speak for everyone in saying that any question you have you can post it in the correct category and the collective that is project guitar will do our best in helping you. Good luck on the first build we would love to see pictures when you get around to that part of your project.
