New Member - First Build

[avdekan]

hello all

my name is Binya, and I'm glad to join this forum.

been reading here for ages and now that I actually built something decided to actively join.

this place was a big help to me and Im hoping to contribute whatever I can in the future.

this is my firs total build from scratch:

wenge / maple neck through

25.5" scale

ebony fretboard

Hipshot fixed 7 string bridge

Bare Knuckle Pickups Nailbomb 7 set

schaller locking tuners

matte, open-pore lacquer.

I built it in Jacob's Algranati's guitar building school here in Israel. very happy with the result.

Its not without faults, but its my first one so i take it lightly.

feels, plays and sounds like heaven

Looks very nice. I'm not a huge fan of the bottom of it, I like cut outs there, just not the flat ones like that. Very nice job though, I really like the back

Wow! Congratulations, I really like it! I have to agree with anderekel though. If the bottom was more round, it would be nearly perfect, in my opinion.

With the maple and wenge and the pickups, that must be one loud and bright guitar! I hope you're happy with it, that is some great work.

It is loud and fairly bright, but not in a painful way. can get very teleish when coil-split but gives a very punchy and articulate metal tone - which is my personal cup of tee.
