  1. I've been jonesing for a mandolin for a while too. I'd have to re-tune it like a guitar so I could play it. At that point, I might as well add 2 more strings and just make it an octave guitar.

    my octave 12 SG did sound very mandolin like

    but since building that i got a mandolin and realised that mandolin chords &tuning is pretty easy - easier than squeezing full guitar chords onto a half scale fret spacing

    Awesome, this is a fillertron pickup?

  2. <p>Tks all!

    I prefer mahogany over ceddar. Mohogany here it's more expensive than ceddar and how this guitar will be black painted, the owner decide to do with a non expensive wood, but one that was close to mahogany. This is a Amazon ceddar, diferent of a traditional pink ceddar. Amazon get more midrange tones, Pink ha more bassrange ones. We used a hard wood top to substitute maple, just to get close with traditional constrution of gibsons.

    And yes the headstock had a mahogany part, why? Wrong meassure of ceddar cut!2012-05-18194853.jpg2012-05-18194925.jpg2012-05-18195025.jpg2012-05-19161659.jpg2012-05-19161712.jpg

  3. In fact, this inlays are not mop, but acrylic mop laser cutted.

    The big skull had to be re-sloted with a little bit bigger saw.

    Frets, in this point, couldn't to be placed with presure in the slot. I'm in agreement with all you guys, the inlay will pop out or break. So, I just put in place and glue with cianoacrylate. Still have some glue excess to clean.
