Hi, my name is Anthony. I'm 23 years old and live in Arkansas. I've been watching this site and trying to learn as much as possible over the past few months. I thought it was about time I actually introduced myself. I have played guitar on and off for about 12 years. Also have been obsessed with modding them for about a year and a half and found interest in extended range instruments at the same time. I do have a little knowledge in wood working, I have been a custom knifemaker since the age of 8 and have dabbled with furniture building and veneer work. I'm very excited because I am getting ready to do my very first full build. I plan of keeping it simple:
Mahogany bodied 8-string
27" scale, 25 fret, w/ ebony board
on/ 5-piece bolt-on neck
w/ hipshot fixed bridge
& Lundgren M8 in bridge w/ 1 vol pot
At this point in my planning I am unsure as to what body shape I'm going to go with. I was thinking Explorer or Iceman. I'm sure I will have many more questions during the build. I promise I will only ask if I cant find the answer using the "search" feature. I look foward to talking to you guys and making new friends.
Thanks,
Anthony
