jaycee Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 This is called "Cassella" after my two nieces Cassie and Ella, I could have named it the other way around but I didn't fancy a guitar called Elsie.

Specs: Scale Length 24 3/4" ( 628mm ) Body Ash and Sapele on the front Obeche/Sapele/Obeche on the back Cavity cover is Sapele held on with magnets. Neck Horizontal laminate of Ash and Sapele Wenge fretboard Maple Roman Numeral inlays Electrics Pickups are Iron Gear.

The Knobs for the pots are Ash and Sapele with Wenge top, and the switch tip is Wenge Finish Rustins Clear Matt Polyurathane varnish, applied with a brush.

avengers63 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 '58 TWINS build thread THEME My interpretation of the two classic guitars Gibson introduced in 1958: the Flying V and the Explorer. The intent was to stay true to the original designs and looks while making some clear changes to suit my tastes. Design wise, there was every effort made to have them be as similar as possible within the constraints of the different instruments and shapes. Because of all the differences, these would be properly labeled fraternal twins rather than identical. BODIES 4-piece white limba, per original specs (8/4 white limba is pretty hard to get around here, so I had to thickness-glue 4/4 stock together) 1 9/16" thick, per original specs NECKS wenge bolt-on white limba pinstripe wenge fretboard pearl dots zero-fret The fretboards themselves are bookmatched to one another. HARDWARE black with gold screws headless units wenge knobs tortoise pickguards modified from original shape ferrules for neck screws SPECIFICS Guitar: wenge string guide to widen the string spacing wenge pickup rings Rockfield Mafia humbucker set 3-way toggle, 1V, 1T Bass: Carvin MusicMan pickup 1V wenge jackplate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukko Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 LUCIFERI WREDE TRIBUTE Decided to not call it the Firemaster...

muggatu Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Specs: BODY: Hollowed via router Ash with cedar top NECK: 100 years cured Rock Maple three piece laminate FRETBOARD: bookmatched maple from neck wood, Peace Dove inlays SCALE LENGTH: 25.5" NUT: Rosewood TUNERS: Grover BRIDGE: strat style with Piezo NECK PICKUP: inset piezo in between the neck and body joint NECK PICKUP: Seymour Duncan BRIDGE PICKUP: Seymour Duncan ELECTRONICS:2 volume - one for humbuckers one for piezo. 1 tone. 5 way coil tap and a 3 way selector for electric/blend/acoustic. Stereo output for two amps, one electric one acoustic. FINISH: poly and tung Please check out my photos of this guitar My webpage with crapy vid using only electric amp, acoustic makes a big difference with the piezo. The Wild Wood Varatone feature's a hollow ash body with a aromatic cedar top. A five way switch controls it's two coil tapped vintage wound humbuckers. Acoustic piezo bridge saddles are installed for acustic sound. The controls allow the player to switch between electric and acoustic modes, and even blend the two together. Mother of pearl inlays highlight the 100 year old maple neck. Stereo output allows for optimum sound control. Send the Acoustic signal to a different amp to perfect the sound.
