rhoads56 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Derek commissioned me to build this as a family heirloom to remember their daughter. It hasn't been tucked away in a closet, but is out being used as his main axe. Body: Brazilian Mahogany with Quilt Maple top Neck: Brazilian Mahogany Fretboard: Ebony Hardware: Grover and Wilkinson Electronics: Seymour Duncan pickups, volume and tone, splittable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avengers63 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 buffer+1 +2 It's interesting that you clamped the top down with tape. Why not clamps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 It's interesting that you clamped the top down with tape. Why not clamps? nice to see the string lines for positioning the inlay... little touches and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 The tape is holding the binding, not the top Here is the top being glued down in the vacuum press. Nice deep neck joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I was wondering where that workmate of yours had gone to....didn't see you carving the neck on it thanks to that fancy bench you seem to have taken a liking to :-\ Why aren't you slumming it with a workmate anymore like the rest of us? Alienated!! Great work Perry, on this and the other recent builds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ae3 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Seeing your work is like watching Paul Gilbert play guitar, it just makes me want to give up, because I know I'll never be as good On the other hand it's gives me something to shoot for. As always nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhoads56 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Nice deep carve for this one Has anyone noticed the "mod from hell" Kevan has not been around for a long time? 18 months since the last login actually: http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showuser=21 + Only a couple posts for the year before that...

westhemann Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Has anyone noticed the "mod from hell" Kevan has not been around for a long time? I was told he is running his Tremel-no business full time...I think he got burned out here and left for a sabbatical personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Buffer A lot of people are saying it, not really sure what it means but I guess it's good. Those routes are nice and clean Perry, I di like it when there aren't any drill marks on the botton of routes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmth Builder Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 You mean buffer? There is a pic limit when posting your builds, so posting 'buffer' in between Perrys posts means he can keep on posting up pics with out having to resort to links or a ligitimate responce, which means we can carry on oglying his work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Thant carve is coming out very nice! Are you leaving the top flat like it is or rounding it later? I did that on my single cut guitar, I think it gave it more character and separate it from the rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
