Metalgoth Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 That is fantastic work, a good use of some beautiful wood. Like everyone else, I'm going crazy over that super black ebony fretboard. I have some Steinberger Gearless tuners, and I think they're fantastic. They keep you in tune really well, and they're easy to fine tune, easier to restring than regular tuners, if only they were a comparable price. Obviously they are wasted if you've got a locking nut. They feed into the tuner very low, very close to the surface of the headstock, which I would think means you wouldn't need a string retainer, though I see hufschmid used one here. So in short, love Steinberger Gearless, love ebony, love that guitar. Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perhellion Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Did you make the pickup covers? Is that some sort of pick holder on the back of the headstock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bygde Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Nice! Must have been pretty hard to do those inlays. Did you use a Dremel, or did you chisel them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
