Hello all! My name is Jari, i'm from finland. I'm new here and this is my first post.. and what could be more suitable as a first post, than pics of 2 projects i'm currently working on?
So, let's get down to business. I'm making 2 different kind of guitars, Flamed Top les paul and solid color superstrat, something like Ibanezes or whatever. Specs are as follows..
Les Paul:
Body&Neck - Mahogany, glued on neck.
Fretboard - Walnut, no inlays
Top - Some nice figured maple
Color - Not sure yet.. I'm open for suggestions.
electronics - 2 hums, 1 volume, 1 push/pull tonepot for splitting/phase shifting and 3-way switch.
Hardware - T.O.M+Stop Bar, wilkinson tuners.. All goldplated.
I'm gonna make it a lil' bit modernized version, with better fret access etc.
Superstrat:
Body&Neck - Mahogany, neck through
Fretboard - Maple, no inlays.
Color - Something very bright and 80's, like neon yellow, green etc..
Electronics: not sure yet.. thinking about 1 hum 2 singles, 5-way switch, 1 volume and push/pull tonepot for splitting the bridge pup.
Hardware - T.O.M+String through, wilkinson tuners.. Maybe black? Got to think about that one.
Gonna make it sleek and fast looking and playing shredmachine.
Anyway, enough with the talk, here's some pics, more to come!

Note that this top isn't ready, not even close.. I haven't even sanded it down, it's straight from the planing.
