Lex Luthier Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Pics SPECS: 1-piece Rock Maple neck Lightly flamed Ebony fingerboard 2-piece locally cut Western Walnut, could be called Claro I guess Hand rubbed oil finish Allparts gold hardware Allparts humbucker pickup Push-pull treble booster Series/Parrallel mini-switch Self-designed glueless dovetail neck joint The woman I sold this to has just ordered another one from me, but with a thinner neck, and narrower body. I may also use an alchohal based dye-stain, in a burgundy-ish color for the body of the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazyderek Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 nice, the body does look a bit wide though, still excellent craftsmanship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basey Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 nice bass! how heavy did that walnut end up being?. Love that clean ebony fretboard. Glueless? like chrysalis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Luthier Posted December 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 how heavy did that walnut end up being Not too heavy at all, I don't think. The body is actually 1.5" in stead of the standard 1.75", so that was obviously a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Excellent work Lex, truly a world class job. Great icon too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 how heavy did that walnut end up being The only walnut that I have worked with is Peruvian walnut and it is pretty light. Are there other types of walnut that are more dense/heavy? Oh yeah, nice bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AlexVDL Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 I have a question about the playability... looks like there is almost no extra fretboard next to the two outer strings... isn't it hard to play then?? Seems that you can push/pull the strings right off the board when you play it But the whole guitar is a looker though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pour bleeding me Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 did you just oil it and buff it? or is there some other type of finish on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
