demonx Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 BAPHOMET WARLOCK This ones not my latset build but it's my personal/player guitar. I wanted to place an entry and the ones I'm working on at the moment I'll never get finished for this month this one will have to do! Based on a USA Warlock shape, however I made the body thinner and changed the bevels. Because the body is much thinner, I had to have the block on the rear of the floyd milled to allow clearance! Specs: Queensland Maple Neckthru Tasmanian Blackwood Body Rosewood headstock cap 25" scale 24 frets - dunlop 6150 Gold MOP headstock inlay Cloud fingerboard inlays Ivroid headstock binding Gotoh Floyd trem Imperial tuner heads Dimarzio X2N humbucker Area 61 Single coil Was built with a "Neal Moser" active circuit (hense all the switches) but I ended out remomiving that and rewiring standard. Switches are dummies to fill holes. Marblizer paint over a black PPG base with Custom PPG Candy over the top of a Baphomet layout. Clear coated with PPG Deltron 800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verhoevenc Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 "Air-In Fall: Swaying Hearts and Minds With Purple and Orange" *Sorry about the long name... this guitar has a lot of history and meaning in it that translates into the name. This is actually my second acoustic, although it was literally started YEARS ago. It's what is called a terz. It's a Martin Size 5 shape with a 12-fret neck, but since the body's so small, so is the neck with (if my mind remembers correctly here) a 21.5" scale. It's called a terz because in order to accomodate this higher scale most people tune it up G-to-g instead of E-to-e ala having a capo on the 3rd fret. It has some great chimey highs. I've found it's the perfect little guitar for playing on the porch at night with some friends over drinks and cigars and what not. Either way, specs: Lutz spruce top. EIRW Fretboard with koa, padauk, and aniegre falling maple leaves inlay. Honduran mahogany slothead neck finished with a very dark brown sunburst, nicely appointed with a traditional diamond carved volute. African padauk back/sides with Brazilian Kingwood binding. Purflings are self-dyed purple/orange purfling strips. White buffalo bone nut, saddle, and bridge pins of the EIRW bridge. MOP side dots and headstock logo. Buckeye burl tailgraft and rosette. Grover Sta-tite tuners. What everyone is actually interested in: Note- the second picture is probably the most accurate representation of the orange color of the padauk. I'm not a great photographer and didn't have my usual help this time :S About the structure: This guitar was a bit of an experiment surrounding some of the things I had learned from the Ervin Somogyi lectures that were posted on the OLF forum a couple of years ago. With the guitars size and timbre it was slated to undoubtedly be a guitar for use only in intimate settings. Therefore, I wanted to make sure that it was as loud as it could be within close quarters. Therefore, instead of doing a tone-bar brace behind the bridge I opted for two finger braces to increase the cross-dipole movement of the top. According to Somogyi this would increase it's presence in close proximity but at the expense of the sound falling away faster than usual with distance (which I was ok with). I also decided to go with a stiffly x-braced back as I was more interested in the guitar's back reflecting sound to the listener than I was in the top/back coupling action that may have led to better bass (which let's be honest, in a guitar this size, that's not the forte and will never be). All in all I think it did what I wanted it to as it's a very loud and percussive guitar for it's size. I'm calling it a success personally. You can see what I meant about the bracing here: Chris PS: For those that are interested in more info on this guitar I'll be building a page for it on my site as usual within the next couple of days.

whalehazard Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Whalehazard Thunderback LW Hey folks, this is my third build, and is for the bass player in my band. LW is because he calls himself the Littlest Wizard. This is northern ash with a maple neck, with a rosewood fretboard and headplate. 34" scale Schaller roller bridge Gotoh tuners Duncan 1/4 pounder P-bass pickup 1 volume 1 tone pretty straightforward. The headstock inlay is MOP and recon bloody jasper, and the dots and 12th fret pentagram are red marbled plastic. There is a truss rod cover made of the same red plastic that I forgot to put on when taking pictures Here's a close up of the 12th fret inlay before fretting.
