  1. Thanks The skull is actually jakaranda/rosewood with some modeling clay as touch up in some spots. The hardware is reliced with Hydrochloric acid and being stored for 4 years in an old barn The paint is some cheap automotive paints
  2. Just finished this bad boy up, it only took 4 years basswood body, sculpted skull, tonerider vintage bridge pup and an Epiphone humbucker in the neck position. Currently missing high E string
  3. Progress pics headstock sketches: Not too shabby being built without template, and painted with regular aerosol cans
  4. Now i've cut the contours of the main template but I'll need to get to my parents and borrow a drill before i can cut the f-holes and the hollow template. @ToneMonkey: Yeah, i'm going to put another pick up on there. So SwedishLuthier expect an order soon
  5. Finally got some time for this one. Started drawing the templates today, and will cut them out tomorrow. Main template Hollow And this is the pickup i bought from SwedishLuthier Pickup The wood i got were mouisture damaged during shipping so the wood a little bent, any tips on how i should straighten it again? Can i dampen them, clamp them toghter with osome straigt metal pieces and put them in a drying cabinet?
  6. Thank you I dont think it is inte the way of the arm since the ESPs has a slightly bigger horn than mine. Yeah, push/pull pots with volume/tone (if possible) and a rotary switch. Thanks dont know yet, 22 or 24 maybe scalloped from 12.
  7. Hi! Just finished a mockup of an ESP style explorer with some minor modifications. Must complete my other projects before starting this one though What do you think? //Martin
  8. I've decided to try to make my own neck for once Going for a carbon fiber rod, seems simple. Forgot to mention the woods in the body. the middle part is rosewood(jacaranda) and the outerparts is scrap wood i found lying around. Probably Spruce. the neck will be maple with a rosewood fingerboard (maybe skull inlays or something like that).
  9. Thats an option, i've never made a neck though. Guess I can use a mandolin truss rod.
  10. Hi! Just wanted to share the project i started the weekend, its a 19.7" scale guitar for my 4yr old son (one wasn't enough for him ). Borrowed some design elements from METAL MATT Anyone knows where to buy necks in this scale and other small parts? //Martin
  11. Very nice Are the graphichs drawn/airbrushed or dekals?
  12. Hehe, that would be cool Nice bass btw
  13. $97.50 (≈650 SEK) from ebay including shipping. Bröderna holm skulle ha 2000.- för en lönnplanka på 200x2500x52 mm Great Thank you I wanted a little thicker guitar for more acoustic feeling (sound) and wanted much carving. added some more to the wood i ordered for sanding and smoothing another update, smaller f-holes and added white bindning and knobs/switch
  14. Hehe, i'll be taking orders as soon as its finished Just got a great deal on woods for the body. 1 set (2 pieces) of alder 1 3/4 x 7 x 21 and 1 set 1/2 x 7 x 21. Is alder as good as maple? know its good for solidbodies but how about hollowbodies? the dave grohl 335 is all maple. Also have an idea of putting the battery and eq for the piezo in a stompbox type of thing if its possible... dont wanna put ugly things in the beatiful body
  15. Thank you Yeah, i removed them. They do for sure not look as godd as ordinary TOM's but i think it would save me some headace here comes a quick photoshop mockup
