Adrenaline
I am not a musician but I always liked Metal and particularly the guitar. Before I built this guitar, I knew nothing about guitars.
A couple of months ago my brother in law who is a musician who also built a few guitars had the Explorer guitar, I immediately fell in love with it and decided to build one but more "aggressive", more Metally...
This is my first build, My brother in law helped me understand the measurements, the electronics, the ergonomics, and off I went to draw it. A few weeks later, Adrenaline was completed !
Body: Basswood
Neck : Not sure, he (see above) gave me one that he had laying around.
Scale: 25.5"
Pickups: RedActive (active pickups)
Electronics: Simple 3 way switch, tone, volume
Finish: Auto spray paint - Sparkly black and spray clear coat
I never owned a guitar but always wanted to learn how to play one, so I basically built this one so that I can start learning...
I don't really have much experience with woodworking but I do know the basics and consider myself to be very handy with tools and have plenty of tools. This has been a wonderful experience. I learned so much about guitars from building it...
Guitar my father and I built together. Originally we built it solid white but later decided to add a flame maple top and do the dyed red finish with a thin sunburst. Bridge is schaller floyd rose, pickups are DiMarzio FRED and PAF Pro and tuners are Gotoh. Body is made from ash, neck is maple with ebony fingerboard and two graphite rods for stability. As the result, I never had to adjust the neck in 10 years I've had this guitar.
Travel guitar we built for me. Based on LP Studio, but reduced size and features detachable neck with brass inserts, so it's easily taken apart and fits in a carry-on bag.

My first foray into CNC machining as far as guitar work is concerned. My initial ideas were merely to make the templates on the CNC machine, however I decided to go the whole hog. Why not?
