geekmorris Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) This is my first guitar project: "Animals", recently completed and hopefully acceptable as this is a refin rather than a build. It's a POS Herald (from Argos) 3/4 size classical acoustic which I refinished as a present for my girl: It's not perfect, and I would do a lot of things differently next time around, but it's all part of the learning curve. I'm also refinishing a 60's Teisco which may one day make it onto here: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/453373...fa81060ef_b.jpg Edited October 21, 2010 by geekmorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Firebird build thread BODY mahogany base 1/8" flamed cedar top natural clear with blackburst edges NECK 7-ply flamed maple, plain maple, chechen, purpleheart cedar faceplate & backstrap blackburst on headstock D-flat contour FRETBOARD birdseye maple abalone dots & purfling black binding HARDWARE & ELECTRONICS gold hardware Kahler trem 3 R.A.D. mini-humbuckers 6-position rotary switch - strat switching and a 6th "all-on" setting I've been playing this thing a LOT. You can see that the back already has some buckle rash and scratching/dings around the heel. R.A.D. made me some really kick-a$$ pickups for this thing. They have all of the crunch you'd expect from a HB, but with a lot of bite and snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott French Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hey Everyone! It's been a long time! I stopped posting my instruments in this contest a while back because I started outsourcing my spray finish work and didn't think that would be in the spirit of this site. I haven't finished much of anything lately, oiled instruments included. This is an OLD one I sprayed myself and finally finished up recently though. There is a long story behind this guitar but I'll just say I am glad to be done with it after many years. This is "The Only SF2 Guitar" Chambered Redwood Body Nickel/Chrome Hardware Locking Sperzels Stetsbar OEM Hot Nordstrand NDCs 650mm Scale Mahogany Neck w/Maple & Walnut Lams Ebony Fingerboard, Pickup Covers, Headcap, Heelcap, and Trussrod Cover Abalone Dots Master Volume/Master Tone/3-way Schaller Locking Strap Buttons Taking photos of a high gloss carved top guitar is a real pain in the ass but here they are!
