www Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Hope to start this soon. I was going to sell the parts, but now I've decided to make it work. Haven't figured out what the finish will be yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 That is one DIRTY maple board. What was it. It looks very 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 I don't know the history of the neck or body. A friend gave it to me. Knowing my friend the parts probably did come from the eighties. I wasn't to worried about the stain on the maple fret board, I figured it would come out during sanding the radius.

LGM Guitars Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 I would ask vwall, I was under the impression he had his guitar built as an original design, but he has a guitar identical to this with a reverse headstock. http://www.vwallguitars.com/photo2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 It looks exactly like the VWall! I guess I'll have to spend sometime looking them up. I don't know what i'm going do for a finish. So many ideas so little brain left to sort them out. It needs to be refinished. Lots of divots in the body. I will be getting a bunch of figured and spalted maple tomorrow. I found a stash that has been down for a few years. So I will be putting this one on hold until all the maple is cut and stacked for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Looks like someone customized a hamer californian to look like a BC rich virgin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwall Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Indeedy!! When I got my guitar, it was merely mostly raw material. Heres the history/thread on Jemsite Guitar Forum: Custom Guitar Thread The fretboard was raw and wavy and needed to be completely radiused and fretted and cleared of course. I did some light sculpting to the body at the horns and had to route the complete trem cavity and drill the holes etc.. the only thing routed on the body was the electronics and spring cavities and the pick ups. I have never seen another guitar like it. After lengthy research I discovered that this was a one of from a no name called Monroe Luthiers in CA... My project took about 3 years to actually complete.. Love to see pics of yours when finished... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 [Very noble of you WWW. That is just too cool of you.] My fat fingers would never seen past the 24th fret anyway. Now I can start work on a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Just curious. Will that bass be Carriburst? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 [Just curious. Will that bass be Carriburst? ] Don't know yet. Depends if I find a nice peice of wood. I am going to look at some tomorrow, but it wont be dry for awhile unless I can find a kiln. I will be cutting up some beatiful wood. We found a lot of 4-5A maple. Just hope it hasn't been down to long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
