    Agreed, I think it looks cool.

    People are ridiculous. It's pretty plain to see that you do some incredible work; I can't understand why someone would try to lowball you so hard.
  3. KnightroExpress
    Interesting! I'm excited to see this one all printed out!
  4. KnightroExpress
    Sweet! I love the Batman inlay
  5. KnightroExpress
    I second the eMachineShop suggestion. It's free and very user-friendly.

    Wow. Seriously, just wow. That shot of the interior with the carbon struts and carved brace is awesome.
  7. KnightroExpress
    That second piece looks a lot like wenge to me.
  8. KnightroExpress
    Thank you so much! I'm a fan of your work and really appreciate your feedback.

    Hey PG friends, I'm submitting Knightro JR for this month's GOTM. This is my first scratch build, 100% designed and built by me. In keeping with my novice status, I decided to go for a fairly simple vintage-inspired configuration roughly based on a Les Paul DC JR. This guitar was mostly built on a folding workbench in my apartment, though I was able to rent time at a local wood shop for larger and messier operations. Specs: Body- African mahogany with hand-rubbed oil finish Neck- Maple neck Indian rosewood fretboard w/MOP dots 24.5" scale w/24 frets 16" radius Hardware- Graphtech Ratio tuning machines Graphtech Resomax Wraparound bridge Graphtech TUSQ XL nut Electronics- Stewmac Golden Age P90 CTS 250k Volume/Tone pots Emerson .015uf PIO cap 50's style wiring

    Yes, 27.662" is to the center of the mounting holes. The 3 mounting holes for the Hipshot bridge are aligned slightly behind the string-through holes, though this isn't the case for many bridges. For example, a Gotoh hard tail bridge has mounting holes in all 4 corners, rather than a straight line. By telling you to measure to the forward-most holes, SM gives you a solid reference for many differing bridges.

    Yeah, you're probably gonna have to deepen your TOM recess. I'm an amateur by all accounts though, so don't let my opinion sway you too much. I'm sure one of the more experienced members here will chime in sooner or later. Beside that though, killer guitar!
  13. KnightroExpress
    Dang! I hope your clot issue is resolved quickly!
  14. KnightroExpress
    This project is cool! I'm excited to see where it goes from here.
  15. KnightroExpress
    Yep, TB1. I'm excited to see your project!
  16. KnightroExpress
    Awesome! I really like the cutaway design, it's similar to what I want to try some day.
  17. KnightroExpress
    Thanks! I definitely learned a lot, and I'm excited to learn even more!
  18. KnightroExpress
    Hey, thank you very much! It is entirely possible to refine the neck heel, I just need more practice. Hopefully the next one will be much nicer
  19. KnightroExpress
    Thank you! She's got her rough spots, but overall I'm very happy.
  20. KnightroExpress
    I really enjoy archtop builds and your style. I'll be watching this one!
  21. KnightroExpress
    Sometimes I have good ideas

    When I had a router slip like yours above, I took a carving gouge and turned the missing bit into a little recess for finger access. As a result, that cover is super easy to remove.
  23. KnightroExpress
    Whoa, for a second there I though you had posted a B&W image. This guitar is super cool!
  24. KnightroExpress
    @ BetterOffShred- Thanks! What are you working on? I'm sure yours will be great @Renk- What's up dude? Don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on the Siren- she's gorgeous. And thank you!
  25. KnightroExpress
    Thank you! It sounds nice- got the proper vintage vibe. The pickup is a StewMac Golden Age P90, which was surprisingly good for the price. I have a sound clip somewhere, but it's pretty bad quality. I'll try to record a quick one later today.
