NotYou Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) This guitar has been in progress for a long time. I put it on hold for a while and worked on other projects until I felt comfortable with where it was headed. I'm thrilled with how it came out. As I say on my website, this isn't a theme guitar or anything like that. It's a particular aesthetic, though. The idea was to make something that's the opposite of shiny and pretty, but just as attractive. The question of subjective beauty is something I've been obsessed with for quite a while. I took a torch to the wood. My original intention was to just make a sunburst style design, but I decided to go all out and really have at it, causing the wood to check and burn deeply. From distance it looks normal, but up close you can see it's heavily burnt. Interestingly, there was a noticeable difference in tone when tapping on the wood after I burnt it. It sounded much more clear and warm. The overall tone is amazing. This is undoubtably my favorite sounding guitar yet. I'm going to have a hard time giving it up. ---------------------------- Specs: Everything is distressed. Body: Semi-hollow Soft Maple /Black Walnut Top: Jatoba Neck: Ironwood/Black Walnut Fretboard: Ironwood Finish: Burnt; Hand-Rubbed Polyurethane Neck shape: Large "C" Scale: 24.5” Frets: Medium, Nickel Bridge: Gotoh Wraparound Tuners: Grover Nut: Recon Stone Pickups: Hand-wound Humbuckers (7k neck, 8k bridge), pull tone knob for single coil split Controls: Blend Pickups, Tone (push/pull for coil split), Master Volume ---------------------------- The web page with info is here.

Campylobacter Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Tough competition but here goes... This is my very first build which I started working on in August 2011. For being merely a practice piece I'm very happy I managed to give it a somewhat unique look, great feel and most of all strong and versatile sound. There's of course a lot of room for improvement (fretting, routing etc.) but I'm still proud of myself. Build thread and more pictures. Name: SC#1 Specs: *Mahogany body / Bubinga top (~35mm thick) *Bolt-on Wenge neck *Cocobolo fretboard (24 frets) *25,5" scale *Cold Sweat Bare Knuckle Pickups *Gotoh hardware *Killswitch volume and coil-split tone Pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
