  1. 8-string Guitar

    in In Progress and Finished Work

    Posted · Edited by !!METAL MATT!!

    i feel as if fading to black on the fretboard would take away the simple class that the wood grain gives it.

    Well I think that if the guitar was theamed for fadeing than it would Kill BUT since its a simple wood look I want the fade is not something I want to do at all, but like I said on a nother neck it would be cool

    has any one ever seen this done? pics?

    i think the mockup looks SUPER kick ass matt...something about the headstock shape does not flow in MY mind,but don't worry about that...your guitar,your style decision.

    i hope like hell that the finished guitar looks as sweet as that mockup

    Thanks Wes, and yes the headstock in the Full mockup does NOT look right at all

    it should look more like this (with out the black on the Board)

    by the way...i in no way believe that guitar was foam...urban legend if you ask me...or just plain b.s.

    don't believe everything you hear.

    bc rich has made FIBREGLASS bodies before...not necks,bodies...and some guitars have carbon fibre necks.

    but foam?i call major b.s.

    I'll ask Neal

    EDIT, there I just sent Neal A PM, I cant wait to see if this Foam guitar is for real :D

    Well Neal Moser started A thing on the shreder a while ago the whole

    "it's gotta be special tone wood or it won't sound good"
    Myth stuff :D

    Me I really dont bleave that Pine is any good for guitars At all NOT AT ALL but I do like the Idea of people trying new things and doing things that Others say cant be done or should not be done

    this is A quote from Neal in responce to the Pine and ceder Guitar

    Hey Reece, excellent job.

    HOWEVER, when I say PINE, I mean 2x4's with knots, right out of Home Depot and then glued together. Cut the body out of THAT. THEN, make the neck AND finger board out of PINE as well. I want this guitar to be SOOOOOO WRONG it's pathetic, SO, if it DOES sound good, it will dispel all the "it's gotta be special tone wood or it won't sound good" STUFF. If I'm wrong about this I will be the first one to report that I was WRONG. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that it's going to sound a lot like a guitar.

    Hmmmmmm............Matt just built his bench and has some extra PINE 2x4's left over.

    P.S. Chris (noeffin) bought a BCR Warlock off Ebay one time. It looked pretty nice and sounded pretty good for a "only sold over seas" import. When he went to rout the electronics cavity to add to the electronics, we realized it was made of FOAM. YUP, blown into a mold FOAM. Even the neck, which looked to be neck-thru, was foam. The only wood on the guitar was the finger board.

    SO, blown into a mold FOAM sounded pretty damn good. Why wouldn't PINE.

    metal matt...yes it can be done...but do look at that guitar...he should have solid finished it...the wood grain is butt ugly on that cedar top...

    but the cedar may have the tone in that guitar..if the top is thick enough...cedar is comsidered a good viable tonewood

    Agrred!! just showing that it has been done and with good results.

    This Is A PINE and ceder guitar built by A guy on the shredder!!

    this is what he had to say about it

    Specs:

    Mahogany Neck, Ebonised Fretboard, 21 frets, 20"Short scale, MOP diamond inlays

    Body... PINE with RED CEDAR top, in Trans Black

    BCR BDSM pup re-wired to 4 wire, 1 volume, Series/parallel switch, Custom Pre-amp w/ Treble, Mid and Bass.

    How does it sound?

    Surprisingly GOOD, even with the BDSM (if it can make a BDSM sound good, it must be good right?)

    Clean is VERY good, you almost can get a real dreadnaught sound out of it, it's ritch and bassy.

    Dirty it produces a very strat neck pup sound, bright, but not too bright.

    I learned a few things from this guitar:

    a) Stick with a brand of paint you trust

    :D Red Cedar is the softest s#%^&@est wood i'm never touching it again

    c) Pine is AWESOME, i'm going to use it again

    d) The stealth is my favourite guitar shape of all time, I'm going to build me another
