Adrenaline
Please give me some feedback and your honest critique... This is becoming my new hobby and I would really like to learn how to make them even better.
I am not a musician but I always liked Metal and particularly the guitar. Before I built this guitar, I knew nothing about guitars.
A couple of months ago my brother in law who is a musician, who also built a few guitars had the Explorer guitar. I immediately fell in love with it and decided to build one but more "aggressive", more "Metally"...
This is my first build, My brother in law helped me understand the measurements, the electronics, the ergonomics, and off I went to draw it. A few weeks later, Adrenaline was completed !
Body: Basswood
Neck : Not sure, he (see above) gave me one that he had laying around. I only modified the head a bit to flow with the body.
Scale: 25.5"
Pickups: RedActive (active pickups)
Electronics: Simple 3 way switch, tone, volume
Finish: Auto spray paint - Sparkly black and spray clear coat
I never owned a guitar but always wanted to learn how to play one, so I basically built this one for that purpose...
I don't really have much experience with woodworking but I do know the basics and consider myself to be very handy with tools and have plenty of them. This has been a wonderful experience. I learned so much about guitars from building it...
I had a few musicians play it, they loved it and said it was very comfortable and plays well. One told me: "Its weird, but it works really well"
Hope you like it. If not, let me know why not...
I also submitted it to the Guitar Of The Month contest for November, hopefully it will get a vote or two.
