Bizman62 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 I didn't realize the type of the tuners until now. They really add a twist to the design! Is there any gear or are they just like violin tuners, doing exactly what your fingers tell them to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No gears, they just screw down and they stay put. Very intuitive design. ...and now I got a spare gold set.... gotta think carefully, if I am going to start a new project!

Headless! You could install those tuners in the body behind a tune-o-matic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argytar Posted August 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Ok, so this summer is a little difficult as you all know, and I had a lot of things to do in my medical practice plus a new project that is on its way. Anyways, I came up with a Silver Onion guitars logo. That is my Greek name and surname translated to English - roughly. So I dug with the dremel diamond straight bit and sprayed some silver nitro on the grooves. That gave me the finished result of this guitar! Enjoy! Final sound clip coming soon! The specs of this guitar can be summed-up below: 1-piece obeche/ayouz body and neck construction Bigsby B5 vibrato black reflector knobs Black plastic pickguard with Silver Onion logo Black plastic truss rod cover encrypted as “The Corona bird” Traditional curved single acting truss rod with maple cap Switchcraft 3-way toggle switch Switchcraft long jack Belden/ vintage pushback guitar wire Emerson Pro 500k long split shaft pots Orange drop .022μF capacitors Seymour Duncan SM-2b bridge minihum Nick Silver Blue Moonlight alnico 2 neck p90 “Elias Zaikos” model. GMI - Halon guitars 1060 steel bridge with self-lubricating brass saddles GMI/ Halonsteel bridge posts GMI/ Halon heavy knurled brass thumbwheels Hand - selected by tap tone Indian Rosewood fretboard white plastic fretboard binding black plastic side dot markers Pearl dot markers 7mm Dunlop aluminum strap holders 24.625” scale 12” radius Bone nut Steinberger tuners (finally here) Nitro finish “hammerite green metallic” light relic Pyramid .10-.38 pure Nickel strings!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistermikev Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 nice color choice. I like the unusual combo of pickups/trem on a firebird. also a big fan of those tuners... might have to try those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
