Acacia Custom Guitars

JoeGuitar717 · 09-20-2011, 04:38 PM

Hey guys,

Haven't posted in here in awhile. Well, I'm no longer working Strictly 7 and I've recently moved out to Los Angeles to pursue music. So far I'm working at a music store while writing material and getting stoked about a project I'll be in soon.

This company, Acacia Custom Guitars, is a company I'll be endorsing with this band.

So if you get a chance, go check out Scott's work, he truly is a talented Luthier and an awesome human being.

I'll be updating this thread with build pics for him, including mine as well.

... I'll be watching you.

Some beauty basses in there.

Good for you, man! Those guitars look cool, but I'd like to see an official website. FB is cool, but it's hard to navigate around without reading through everything.

And is it just me or are there more custom guitar makers popping up than ever before?

Yeah he is in the process of getting his website designed and up. It does seem like they are coming out of the woodwork don't they? Pun intended.

More than we need around certainly

, but variety is the spice of life.

UPDATE :

Most of these pics are from the Facebook Page, but some are new. Figured I'd put them all in one spot and link you guys!

Is this buckeye?

butterschnapps · 11-27-2011, 04:12 PM

I believe that is buckeye burl, but I could be wrong.

MaxOfMetal · 11-27-2011, 04:17 PM

What's up with the bridge and saddles on that bass?

I saw that... it's not strung backwards, so the bridge looks like they angled it the wrong way!

I saw that as well, but didn't want to be the one who said something...

JoeGuitar717 · 11-28-2011, 10:16 AM

yep it is buckeye burl

Weird. I just noticed that. Usually they are angled the opposite, for compensation. Hmmm, I'll ask him about that.

JoeGuitar717 · 11-28-2011, 05:24 PM

The bridge is angled that way because the customer, Freddy from Carnifex, wanted it angled that way. Scott is well aware 99% of bass bridges are angled the opposite because of compensation purposes.

Just to clear things up!

TimSE · 11-28-2011, 05:33 PM

This makes it OK... Almost called that brand a rude name then! Phew!

So quick to judge a company off of one pic? haha.

I kid

, anyone is allowed to be skeptical about something that is out of the
ordinary and seems to be incorrect or weird.

Though I assure you, his stuff is high quality. He puts a lot of passion into these guitars. Just ask Joe from Within The Ruins, or Freddy from Carnifex!!!

I did! His Acacia looked absolutely amazing live.

TemjinStrife · 11-28-2011, 06:22 PM

Passion =/= woodworking skill. Just look at Wishbass!
