WOW!! how dose that thing sound,how did you mount the pickups. That thing is crepy deadly I love it do you have any progress pics it would be extramly cool to see how that BEAST came to be. !!METAL MATT!!

Thanks the black and white one will not be white for long iam going to dye it a redish color there is still alot of work to do but it should turn out nice and i'll try not to hurt myself!! As for pickups there will only be one EMG-81 and Iam not sure what bridge is going to be used yet but I'am thinking string thru. !!METAL MATT!!

I should be heading out to the shop today to get some more work done on the back of the X-Infinity electric guitar I will post some pics if I get out there !!METAL MATT!!

Cool Iam glad you like it this one is amoung my best In my mind I love the way it look's and feals this guitar has a heartbeat and all it is sofar is a top I realy cant wait to get this one done I will keep you all posted on my progress I started work on a B.C Rich virgin copy this one is being built for a friends son who iam teaching how to build guitars it is his first guided build and he is doing great sofar I helped him cut out the body and i did the body contures he built the jig for the neck it's not the best fit but it is his first and he tryed he is paying for all the parts and iam helping him for free so I will put some pics up today as soon as the light comes out. Thanks !!METAL MATT!!

Well I got some work done not a lot but work none the less Iam very happy and excited about my MOD'S to the X-Infinity electric guitar this one was inspired by boredom with the original design it was too plane/lame the new one in my mind is a brutal death warfare machine deadmikes guitar had a role to play in this new design the pics just dont do it justice AT ALL I mounted the neck on to the top temporily with 2 screws in the neck pocket for the sole reason of making sure it all fits and sits right and this thing is one of the most comfortable guitars that I have built but I do have alot of hard work a head of me and I cant wait IT WILL BE DEADLY!! when Iam done. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ewwork10002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ewwork40005.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ewwork60007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ewwork50006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...newwork0001.jpg And I got some work done on my other 7-string I used a router bit for the conture on the top and back but it really burned so I have alot of sanding to do so it look's very rough!! any way hear you go http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ewwork30004.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ewwork20003.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...wwork100011.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ewwork90010.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ewwork70008.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ewwork80009.jpg Sorry none or the pics show the wood very well at all It's not the best digital camera So what do you think sofar any suggestions/comments Thanks!! !!METAL MATT!!

I think I agree It would be cool to see more headstock variations but the one's he works with are in my mind unique in there own right I have never seen that headstock style on some of the type's of guitars he has built like the strat style an the RG style now it's not my fav look for those body type's but there must be people out there that would love it. Eather way he builds amoung some of the best guitars that i've seen on this forum. EDIT:- oh ya that arch top is nowhere near ugly it's realy cool how you strive for perfection,perfection,perfection!! AWESOME WORK!! hyunsu !!METAL MATT!!

Well I cut out the top of my new guitar and I love it it's too bad I did not use beter looking wood for the top I used purpleheart for the top and a bubinga back don't get me wrong I like the purpleheart but it's not as extreme as I would like any way thanks for the inspiration!! it's not the same shape as yours but the shape did inspire a few of my ideas I will post some pics as soon as my video card is working right. Thanks !!METAL MATT!!

Nice it looks good sofar and if it look's that good and your only 16 think about when your 20 or 30 if you keep working hard and keep learing you WILL build some awesome guitars!! good luck and I can't wait to see more pics !!METAL MATT!!

So how's your first V doing any new progress or has the new jackson copy taken up all your time? !!METAL MATT!!

Well I found one of my guitars that I built a while ago and I should get some pics of that one it looks good for the most part but there are a few flaws like a small gap where the neck is placed and the finish is very thin and Iam working on my first neck ever I use to buy whole guitars and part them out it is alot cheaper if your still learing how to build guitars since the cost of buying all the parts on there own CAN KILL!! rough price's 250$for a neck 4.98$for a string nut 30$for tuning machines 150$for pickups 50$for a bridge 13.00$for strap buttons 10.00$for chrome control knobs 11.00$for a 3-way pickup switch 8.00$for 500k mini pots 3.00$for a 1/4''output jack 4.00$for cavity covers All this = 532$ the price on a cheap factory guitar 250$-300$ just look for what you like and need and your set !!METAL MATT!!

Well xebryusguitars Iam 21 and I started to build guitars when I was 16 but I stoped for 3 years and started again when I was 19. !!METAL MATT!!

Wow that dose look alot beter with the smaller assend you did some good work on that thing sofar in fact it's given me a cool idea for one of the flying-V/Explorer guitars that iam working on!! I will post some pics when it's done !!METAL MATT!!

Cool a new flying-V I hope it works out any way any new progress yet? !!METAL MATT!!

Well hi guy's sorry I've been away for awhile but my computer has been down and It's still not working right but any way I have done alot of work.Well first the Infinity electric guitar is gone!! I cut the top out and I hated it I did not like the way it looked on me so I did some big MODS and know I love it it's more my style and my design it look's like a bruital weapon of death!! I will get some pics up soon and I got a lot of work done to some of my others but now I have to fix my motherboard and get my video card working right. !!METAL MATT!!

Well I know it's not a roundover but iam not sure what it's named so I gave it the best name I could come with at the time:blush and thanks for info I will head down to hardware store and see what I can find !!METAL MATT!!

Dose anyone know what the best way to get this type of round over I offten do this shapeing by hand but it's never perfect so is there another way or is by hand still the only way i've got Thanks !!METAL MATT!!

Hey how good of shape are those pickups in and what are thy puting out for ohms I need something thats pushing almost 20K-ohms if not that and are they coil-tapp. Thanks!! !!METAL MATT!!

HAHAHAHA MDF that's great Finily someone tryed it and posted pics HAHAHA It looks good!! dont paint it just put some kind of a finish on it dont cover that MDF put some pickups in and have some fun. !!METAL MATT!!

Hey goth_fiend dose your luthier friend do custom work atall if so roughly how much would he charge for a 7-string neck I have been trying to find someone who would be willing to build a easy 22-fret 7-string neck with a custom design at the bace of the fretboard it's a soft spike thing I would suply all the wood and parts but not the fretwire I dont have that yet now I would build it my self and I will if I must but I would rather have some one else build it since I realy want this design to work and since it's my first neck I dont want to destory it so I would rather learn on a neck that is not as important as this one is. !!METAL MATT!!

Ya that one seems to be a real favorit the story behind it is this about a year ago I tryed to build some odd hairbrain wild guitar and it failed it realy failed so I cut it in to 6 part's and threw in the junk wood box then one day I got bored so I started to glue chunks of old wood up and I just started to cut and sand and I came up with this guitar and it came out realy good not bad for garbage!! !!METAL MATT!!

COOL!! Thanks for the link I must add it to my pile of favorites. !!METAL MATT!!

Ya that would be cool I like the look of this guitar and I think it would be awesome to get a few ideas and a few helpfull hints/tips out there on how to build this one. !!METAL MATT!!
