helge Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 here's a picture of one of the guitars i build before. i messed this one up, when i glued the top on. but it was just a test anyway. the wood isn't nice either. the upper horn isn't finished as you can see. the carving, the lower horn and f holes are pretty good in my opinion.

vladdrac Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Hi, are you going to do the Lyon Claw? and is it gonna be H-H configuration? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helge Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 actually this one was just a test. i'll finish the pickup and tremolorouting and the electricstuff routing from the back and then i will give it to a friend. i want to build a seven string for myself. usually i dont like the ibanez style that much, but in my opinion a seven string has to be an ibanez. i want a mahogany back, flamed maple top, binding on top, no floyd rose and no pickguard. the neck will be a 3 piece neck. maple and i'm not sure which kind of dark wood. does anyone has any advices!?!

ThePlague Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 i want a mahogany back, flamed maple top, binding on top, no floyd rose and no pickguard. i like the way you think. maybe an 8 string for me though. is there a reason you didn't go with an all access neck joint?

helge Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 8 string sound interesting, too, but a little to strange for me. i'll go with a 7 string first and then maybe sometime in the future a 8 string. and there is no reason for the neckjoint. havent thought about it. but i'll give it away anyway. i dont like the wood too much. i have a lot of nicer blanks here. and i cant use this one, because i dont want a shaping on the top, because i dont want a really thick maple top. and i looks stupid, when you can see the mahogany because of the shaping and with no shaping i can do a nice natural binding. do you have templates for 7 string humbuckers???
