Uuuhhh... "Becaus I could... " is my favorite reason

Do you have a helper taking pictures for you? Your pictures always have a sort of early 90s educational vhs or wookworkers weekly magazin vibe to them. I love it.

This is my entry to Guitar of the Month My 7-String Singel Cut "Projekt PS-7S" The woods and materials used, especially if there is something unusual in there! European Walnut Top African Mahogany Body Mahogany Purpleheart Neck Ebony Fretboard with Walnut Binding Scale length(s) and other specific configuration details 26.5 Inch Scale 7 String Tuned to A-Standard Electronics, pickups, etc. Lace Aluma X-Bar in the Neck and Seymore Duncan Invader for the Bridge TOM-String Through Bridge Is this your first build, fifth or five-hundredth? Its my 7th build in total First time doing a carved top without help A bit of information on your own background as a builder helps give context to your build. I am from germany working in IT and started building Guitars as an escape from sitting at a PC all day and getting Bord-Out from Covid "Work-From-Home" Was it built in the garage, at school, work or in your own shop? This was build at a Makerspace with most "big boy wookworker tools" one can dream of. A summary of the build's history. Was it built for yourself, friend/family or a client? Did you design the instrument and its specifications or was it built to spec? The design is my own. Its build on a double cut I designed for a 2 Week Guitar building Course in the UK at Crimson Guitar. Build Thread

Its finished:

While I wait for finish curing I started a new build. Headless 7 string. Strandberg Hardware. Ash body. 3 Piece mahogany neck. Indian rosewood Fretboard. Singel bridge humbucker. Nothing fancy this should be a quick and simple build to be used as a daily driver quick to pick up and do some licks. Body shaped Neck prepared

Its almost done. Waiting for the finish to cure and for the Outputjack plate to arrive.... I knew I forgot smth. Things to do: Nut and strings. Output Jack Strap Buttons. Fretboard needs scraping to remove the last ca glue and polishing residuals. Things I learned: I am not really happy with the finish. It Crimson wipe on Lacquer. Looked good first but dried to be less rich in color. I am tempted to sand back and use oil. Also the bridge Pickup is a little close to the bridge, and the lace is not centred correctly. The Headstock Inlay is of centre, i eyeballed it and didnt meassure. The binding on the neck is a little thin needs to be thicker.

Didn't Darvinci or so say: " Statue carving is rather easy. You start removing all the bits which do not belong to the statue ubtil only the statue is left" or smth to that line.

Thats some nice work, and the wood selection *chefs kiss*. Cant wait to see it come together and get some finish on this beauty.

If this is going to be just a fraction of the worksmaship you showed with the acoustics, this is going to be a hell of a ride. will follow this one closely.

Thats "Pointy" should have left it there Comming alonge nicely. Looks both shreddy metal and elegant.

Got some hours in this weekend not much progress, lots of sanding and finished the neck While cleaning the workshop we found the headstock inlay it went down one of those clamping holes. Will be added to the headstock next time. While there I also finish sanded and applied the first coat of oil Need to sand two parts where the oil showed some scratches. Starting Thurstday I am on holidays and will spend those days in the workshop finishing this one and a nother I have ordered some parts from Sweden.

Uh nice. I love me a nice EX-Shape. Have a couple myself. Will follow closely and looking forward to the result

Things you can say about your guitar and your wife Jokes aside. Really nice work lovley woods and looks great.

This is just poor woodworking and craftsmanship p*rn WOW

After some setbacks I am back on this build. Cut the inlays and could test my new dremel tool 2 cats at the 12 and a paw print at the first Then traced and dremelt the caveties 3 hours later everything was in and gaps filled with dust and glue after some sanding everything looks really nice and thats how she looks now. Now I only need to find the headstock inlay 1 cut two month ago Body is sanded to 240. As soon as I have finied the neck its sanding sanding sanding and then I can start the oiling.
