uigp

wow have you had much help from anyone at all like ur dad or mom or friend my mom and dad are both wood crafters so i learned how to work with the tools with there help

I like this guitar a lot its simple but elegant in the same time I like the way the wood on the body looks so much nice very nice

NICE WORK DUDE! What kind of nut are you going to be using if you are using a trem? The reason i ask is because Ibanez is coming out with an 8 string model and I'm sure you would be able to order one of their 8 string lock nuts that is going to be on it. I want to build an 8 with a whammy sooo bad and the kahler 8 and the ibanez locknut would allow me to rip on the trem all day long (:

i thought of that but when i went to my local store to ask about ordering the locking nut from ibanez they told me that when they called in for the part that ibanez has not put it up for ordering sux lugnuts man so ill be useing locking tunners instead same with my 9 string

WOW Man I like the Looks of them Pickups, I must have more Info

!!METAL MATT!!

580 plus tax ( and 4 months of waiting ) I asked for them to have it voiced to handle anything from 85 to 16 gauges for whatever I tune to and to still maintain clarity in the low end (no mushing out of chords) the live wires will have all the ungodly distortion and low end I would ever want (rated for 18 volts) there housed in a 5 string housing instead of a six string because after measuring the hipshot string spacing and the 40dc string spacing I figured it would be ok

thanks for the words theIRS ill have more pics up soon. yeah i cant wait to see her rip on the 8 string im just wondering if she will take my 9 away too lol

hey tell me what you think of it. its for my girlfriend who wants one alot

specs:

body-maple carved up top

neck-maple with graphite reinforcment rods

f/b-ebony

hipshot 8 bridge or kahler 8

emg pick ups

ping tunners

black horn nut

flush style jack

dome chrome knobs

finished in balck stain then oiled and waxed

here is wheres it at right now
