I'm very sorry, I had no plans,

Simply I looked for a picture of the gutar I wanted to build, printed.

Taking some measurements fron¡m my other guitars I drew it on template not in paper.

For the side dots I would like to make something a bit special, first I've thought about doing the same as I did in the inlay dots, then when I let the fretboard to its size you'll see two alumium lines separated by padouk paste. But I think that it's going to be very big...

Hello again, my real second project starts now; a kind of John Suhr Modern, the body is going to be mahogany, maple's flame top, the neck is eye's bird maple and the fretboard is ebony and the scale is 648mm

I've started this new project by making a template for the body:

..and a jig to resize the body thickness using a small router:

the jig has worked pretty well. It allowed me to let the boby in about 40mm thick...

and almost flat:

then I have made the radius 16'' and slotted the frets:

To make the inlay dots I've used a 4mm diameter aluminum tube filled with padouk paste...

Hello again, my real second project is a John Suhr modern, the body is going to be mahogany, maple's flame top, the neck is eye's bird maple and the fretboard is ebony.

The same for me, simply amazing.

It's really amazing. I'm in love with this guitar!!!!!

Congartulations

Thank you demonx, yes, I've got to work outddors. Fortunatley I live in an attic which has a big terrace, so I have room enough to work.

By the way, You build such a wonderful guitars.

Thank you very much.

I did not like the result. So after a year I started to rebuild it, I bought Padouk and Rosewood for a new neck.

I made a new headstock, I tried a PRS

These are my tools to cut the fretboard, not very orthodox but I didn't have the propoer tool...

And this is the result...

The clear line between the fretboard and the is a maple veneer. I think it looks fine.

When I glued the neck I made a terrible mistake, I didn't take into account the bridge's height. I thought that I had ruined my guitar. I completely reshaped the boby and...

Then I bought a piece a lime and I a built a bookmatched top. It wasn't very nice in the begining but...

and I used this jig to glued, not very professional, but it worked perfectly.

It took me about five hours to make the pickup cavities, they were done by hand using a small drill and sandpaper.

To finish, I applied a wengue dye to the body and mahogany to the top...

And this is how the guitar ended up.

Hi, first of all I'm Emiliano from Spain.

This pics belong to my first try of building an electric guitar.

In the begining, it was a three pieces neck of oak an ebony fretboard and mahogany body. The bridge and pickups are from and Ibanez Blazer Series from 1982.

In my Ibanez, I put a pair of Seymour Duncan JB, and a Schaller bridge.

First of all I would like to applogies for not introducing me.

Thank you so much ScottR, I hope all of you like these two guitars.

The ebony annd wenge looks very nice, I love wenge. I find, its one of the most ellegant woods in guitar building.

Great job

The bubinga fretboard is very, very nice, i love this colour.

I also like the headstock, sharp and original.

Thank for showing us this great instrument.

I love this guitars. The outstanding combination of woods mado of these guitars unique.

I'm learning a lot folllowing this topic.

Excellent job!!!!!!

I love this top. In Sapin it's difficult to find this kind of wood.

A really nice work.

It's a very nice combination, it provides the guitar a smart look

i like very much.
