Dickie_rayne Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 ok ive been building guitars for 4 or 5 years now as well as spending 3 years at fylde guitars, but this is the first left handed guitar ive done and man was it confusing. (the pictures were taken by the customer not me so excuse the backgrounds) 27 jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard with a mop teardrop at the 12th fret (it needs a clean). Quilt maple top with a 5 piece (flamed maple wenge oak wenge flamed maple) neck The headstock has been scarfed to add strength to the vunerable bits and the body is 1 inch thick mahogany to keep it light as the customer is quite petit. The covers are rosewood and the hardware is gotoh and schaller. there are some rosewood pickup rings in the works but im in the process of moving workshop atm so they are on the waiting list. lemmi know what you think. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/bla...1/guitar012.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/bla...01/untitled.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/bla...1/guitar008.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/bla...1/guitar007.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/bla...1/guitar006.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/bla...1/guitar002.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/bla...1/guitar003.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/bla...1/guitar001.jpg Dickie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
