  9. Starting A New Guitar

    in In Progress and Finished Work

    Posted · Edited by !!METAL MATT!!

    I had 3 guitars that color in the 80's. So officially I am old as now it is back in style 20 years later.

    I cant even say that the color was my idea!! :D Megan came up to my shop one day and was looking it over and she said (You know babe I think you really need to paint this guitar Nuck Green) and I looked at and it just worked, what a great idea

    The TOXIC V

    Ok Im really really sorry about the pics THEY SUCK the color in the pics is way off but all I have is my cell phone again, anyway I will be done puting all together today

    Im thinking that Im going to put white Speed Knobs on this one to tie in to the binding on the fret board and break up the color

    but do you know what degree the bit is?

    its a 45 I think, When Iam the shop next I can check for you. I do know its big

    I believe congrats are in order for the engagement! oh and the new shop

    Thanks, Im a very lucky guy B)I GOT A WOOD SHOP B) ..................................oh ya and engagement :D

    I think the "moser stuff" is infinitely tasteful...I guess there are different forms of "taste"...because honestly I don't like this vee shape much...or the one in elysian's avatar...I much prefer a speed vee or bastard vee...

    That is just me though I don't like circular parts on my vee...nothing against you Matt...I love most of your guitars...

    Oh ya man!! Im a clasic V Body style NUT Im planing a Modern King V style build out of black walnut and Im building a vintage Style V with a modern twist I want some crazy wood for that build ;) but you know me man I love my sharp pointy stuff and it come out im my builds but I know it is not for every one sometimes :D

    how come you didn't just go with a straight cavity?

    Im not sure if Ill be adding a toggle for a phase switch setup or coil taping, plus its kind of a safty thing bringing it over like that so that I could drill bang on for the pickup and ground wire. it would really suck for me to come out in the wroung spot :D

    I know you're not new to this, but it seems the distance between the end of the fretboard and the bridge is really short.

    Is the scale length right, or is it just an optical illusion?

    There just seems to be so little space between the bridge and the neck. I'm just picturing trying to fit another HB and SC in there (HSH set up), and it looks impossible

    well I tend not to use neck pickups on most of my builds, now the bridge Im useing has alot of play as far as seting intonation and with the croutch of the V where it is wanted to center the the looks and still keep tons of room for intonation.

    oh yeah

    i keep forgetting to ask you MATT

    what do you bit do you use for your bevels? what degree and from where did you get it?

    I get asked this one alot B) , really theres nothing to it just a chamfer bit and a rasp and some sand papper.

    I'm glad to see you back and at it Matt! Shortly after your trip to be an apprentice of sorts you kinda phased slowly out of here. Its cool to see your work and designs back in action! Nice work and keep 'em coming. J

    Well Thanks!! ya I kinda droped off the face of the web world, its funny how Woman and bills can have that effect on men :D I meet my wife to be and Ive been working on seting up my life! so that we can have a life. plus when I left LGM guitars I hit the ground runing and I wanted to build build build and sell sell sell BUT I had no money and there where some things that I still needed to learn, so i took a step back and learend all I could and took my time, than when I wanted to start again NO MONEY NO TOOLS NO SHOP B) so I spent some time pouting and than got on with it, I now have a full shop a ton of cash

  23. First Build 8 String

    in In Progress and Finished Work

    Posted

    well my next 8 string will have an inline 8 headstock Ill be useing the same design that I have on my impaler it wount be much longer so I think the inline 8 is good way to go,

    The hipshot bridges are $114

    thats alot for a hipshot I paid 60.00 USD for mine, shoot ElysianGuitars a pm man not that Im geting in to the cost thing but it is nice to keep what you can in your pockets

  24. First Build 8 String

    ahh the kid will be fine!! theres really nothing to an 8 string its just like building every other guitar a bit longer and a bit wider :D

    I wish you luck and I hope you have fun on this build

    P.S I just wanted to add that Im useing the 45DC on my 8 and its sounds great but the 808 is not as wide so im sure that that may be a good idea depending on the size of the body. I for one like how wide the 45 is it just looks good
