This looks awesome. My husband has been wanting to move into guitar building. How long did it take you to get to this point? I imagine quite awhile.Here's the first prototype. Spalted maple body and neck with a rosewood fretboard and mother of pearl inlays. Medium Jumbo frets. Seymour Duncan P90 pickups with vit q caps. Chrome hardware. 12" Fretboard radius with C shape neck.
I think this would look really good with a tortoise shell pickguard or solid black/white/black.

I think I spent a couple of months designing it, then my buddy spent a couple of months making jigs, building, then finishing. Then I spent a couple of days doing the electronics and setup. Start-to-finish it was probably over a year, but if we did everything back-to-back it would only be 6-8 months. But now we're all ready to go and can probably push out a guitar every two weeks or so.This looks awesome. My husband has been wanting to move into guitar building.

You make bicycle frames?I play (well, still learning) violin. Some light woodworking and I make bicycle frames.
Yeah, I just make onesy twosy bikes for friends. It's been a little while, but I have a jig, oxy-acetylene torch, and a bunch of lugs (I primarily do fillet brazing, but I can do lugs, it's just more of a pain so I don't prefer it). I'd like to get into metal sculpture at some point. Right now I'm thinking of doing a carbon steel fence for my front yard (and let it rust, I saw a cool configuration at these modern apartments downtown so I want to copy it). Too many hobos digging around my recycling bin.You make bicycle frames?
falseI mean, I really liked building gundams when I was younger/doing model kits, but I stopped in middle school because it def was not cool.
I mean, if stopping making models meant I wouldn't get curb-stomped, yeah, def not cool.falseI mean, I really liked building gundams when I was younger/doing model kits, but I stopped in middle school because it def was not cool.
Neato! Do you know how to make violins?We have some more guitars coming along.
I don't. But I wouldn't be opposed to designing an electric violin.Neato! Do you know how to make violins?
