Very nice and clean work! How are you going to finish it? What color?
-
Love this pic The body looks really thin to me, how thick is it? I like your builds
-
What Colour! Just Can't Decide!
oblaty replied to Thesuperiorjam's topic in In Progress and Finished Work
I vote for green one -
I´m lovin it!! That inlay is great! I am bulding a hollowbody prs too, but it will be PRS singlecut.. Good luck with it
-
I would make it a little more amber-ish and less of that red burst
-
OK maybe you´re right, but I like the natural look of the q-maple
-
hmm the middle one burst looks very cool.. the dark one won´t show the grain very well
-
I also entered GOTM, but you have my vote
-
Isn´t it too heavy? Besides that it looks really, really good
-
So, after a long time playing, upgrading and polishing this beauty, I´ve decided to try a GOTM entry. It is inspired by Music Mans with some custom details on it. Hope you like it SPECS: NECK: One piece slightly flamed maple neck with Indian Rosewood fingerboard, 12" radius. Two way truss-rod, Gotoh tuners. BODY: Ash top over basswood body Electronics: EMG´s H4 & H4A, Gotoh volume and tone pot 25k, Gotoh three way switch Finish: Nitrocellulose lacquer And some pics finally: It took me about 6 months to make it playable, but it was worth it

Glad to hear about neighbours on this forum I guess you´ve ordered woods from some Hungarian shop...
-
hey there... very nice work ya have out there... may I ask where are you from? because I´ve ordered from sollerguitars too...
-
Ouch!
-
Sorry I haven´t noticed that pic Why have you decided to go for a bolt on? I´d rather go for set neck... with 8 string neck you could carve the neck joint and have better access to upper frets... just my opinion, what do you think about that?
-
hey ngaa! Love the look of all that dark wood. is that alder as dark as in the picture? What kind of headstock are you using for this build?
-
I think it doesn´t matter... bound or unbound fretboard... I don´t care, but important is how will the guitar look like when it´s finished. this one should turn out great
-
This guitar looks very interesting to me... Looking forward to see some progress
-
Wow! That looks amazing! it´s really nice congrats
-
Thanks for all your posts and advices... the were very helpful Now I´ve got some better pics for ya Photo1 Photo2 Photo3 Photo4 Stupid dust!! It´s everywhere!!!
-
And here are some photos for you Photo1 Photo2 Not the best shots, but tomorrow I´ll try to make some better photos..
-
Thanks... yes I´m very pleased with how it turned out I wasn´t expecting such a great finish for this one. Today I´ve finished it
-
It won´t ruin anything. You have to stain before grainfilling, because the filler will close the pores of the wood, so the stain wouldn´t soak up into the wood.
-
So after some time I´m bringing you some update. The body is completely finished and also polished You can see out through my window Top shot Back shot Back shine Another back shine
-
Thanks And I have no clue For me it´s just a language gap BTW for trained eyes: there are no pickup ring holes nor pickguard holes, because I´m mounting the pickups directly to body...
-
After I´ve been worried about the color, now I´m completely amazed with the result... it looks just great. Couldn´t be better Today I have sanded the stain for a little bit and grainfilled the ash
