NGD - Einstein is finished

7 Strings of Hate · 12-04-2011, 01:57 PM

Ok, so Einstein is pretty much finished. Got a few little things to do, add a few coats of oil, make a control cavity cover, but all in all, hes done.

I ended up going with a c-pig in the bridge. Sounds pretty awesome.
I also ended up getting some brass piping and did the side dots in a cool little pattern with 3 different sizes.

AMERICA, .... YEA!

The family shot.

I'v had wrist problems over the years, and thicker necks make my wrist feel better for some reason, so I left it big. Since i didnt stain it and just oiled it, i can rasp/file/sand into it at anytime for slimming adjustments, and just reoil with no seams.

I also took into acount the headlessness and tiny body, and figured a thicker neck would make it feel a bit more substantial.

As for how it plays? I just finished filing the radius out of the graphtech nut and the bridge, so it is playing like butter now.

Ergos didn't used to do much for me but after seeing The Haarp machine's strandberg Im starting to warm up to them.

Cool build man.

geofreesun · 12-04-2011, 07:16 PM

cool but can it do physics?

Looks cool man, not to my taste but I can see lots of effort put into that bad boy!

Put up some vids so we can hear it in action!

Absolute beauty man!

Did you add this to the Member built thread?

Do you have any pictures of it being played while seated?

What's the red ergo-ish guitar to the left of Einstein?

Stealthdjentstic · 12-04-2011, 08:59 PM

That's another he's build IIRC?

Also you look you've lost a ton of weight man, nice job!

No, i didnt. Didnt realize there was one.

No, but i can get some. The bottom half is designed for seated play, so it would be cool to show it off.

And that red guitar is a strandberg knock off i made. Heres the thread I'm a sucker for red

Vinchester · 12-04-2011, 10:03 PM

My first reaction upon entering thread : "wut?"

Awesome job! I really want to hear how that sounds.

One doubt though, Does the very short string-thru slots (especially the 3 strings that's VERY close to the back of the bridge) affect string bend tension? I also think that such a steep break angle wouldn't help with longevity either...

Duh. I thought that was just a re-fi thread. I'll re-read it.

I dont notice any difference in feel. It might break strings easier, but i change fairly regularly, so i'm not too worried. I also can throw some spacers and raise them up a little(the tuners) if needed. I still have some play in the height to work with.

Not exactly the most flattering shape, but it seems practical, and the execution looks well done. Nice one, dude.

Im suprized so many people dont care for the shape. I think its totally awesome looking, but im biased

broj15 · 12-09-2011, 02:48 AM

siple and practical (2 very good qualities). The fret board looks unusually thick to me. Do you think the added thickness causes the fretboard wood to have a greater effect on the tone than usual?
