Rusti 8 string twins!

Rusti · 05-29-2012, 06:30 AM

Here we go with two new builds: a couple of identical 8 strings.
I choosed to go with two builds because programming and working with a cnc takes quite too much time for one build only and since im doing it in my spare time it will take quite long..
Doing this way i will get two guitars in a little more time than one requires.
One will be mine and the other one will be available for sale.

Specs:
27.5" Scale
24 frets
Maple neck with rosewood fillets
Ebony fretboard and headstock top
Rosewood headstock back
Quilted maple carved top and alder body both chambered
Hipshot fixed bridge
Sperzel locking tuners
Bare Knuckle Aftermath on mine and on choice on the one for sale

Im not going to put too many comment on the pic cause i since it quite easy to understand, feel free to ask if something is not clear

Unfortunately i lost the pics for the neck gluing part, so here are those right after it:

Maple headstock with enoby top

Maple nick with rosewood fillets

Glueing the headstock on the neck

Rusti, you're pushing envelopes man. Send one my way

It's looking damn nice so far, I can't wait to see them done

IB-studjent- · 05-29-2012, 06:57 AM

holy crap that looks insane, you got this build down to a science !

Pikka Bird · 05-29-2012, 08:46 AM

Holy hell that's a sweet looking stock! And as usual, stunning work.

scherzo1928 · 05-29-2012, 09:26 AM

My day couldn't have started any better. I am exite!

One question, is it going to be a neckthrough? or a very deeply set neck like your other? I ask because I noticed the middle strip of maple to be flipped 180° (

), but probably after having the headstock angle cut into it. I guess that little bit is getting cut anyways.

Or perhaps it's just perspective playing tricks on me.

Aaaanyways, at this point I'd wish the builder good luck with his build, but I think luck is out of the equation here.

Rusti · 05-29-2012, 09:52 AM

Thanks everyone

Good eye mate

You already answered to your question: yeah i flipped the middle strip and it will be cutted. The neck will stop under the pickup and will not go over it like on the older build.

Going to post more pics

Rusti · 05-29-2012, 09:55 AM

White binding glued!

Black ebony binding to come

MF_Kitten · 05-29-2012, 10:39 AM

+1! Can I put an order in for just a couple of headstocks to hang on my wall? That's pure art, brother!

taea3 · 05-29-2012, 10:56 AM

Thats some awsome looking work!! Cant wait to see the finished product, custom builds like this are really inspiring!

jarnozz · 05-29-2012, 11:00 AM

can't wait to see the final product! looks sweet! but why do you go for a rosewood back?just wondering since it wont effect the tone and it's pretty out of sight

snegdk · 05-29-2012, 11:02 AM

Great photos! Will be watching this thread! I am very interested to see progress.

BlackMastodon · 05-29-2012, 11:30 AM

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I am excited!

vansinn · 05-29-2012, 02:50 PM

Yummi! Übercool headstock shape and bindings

Looking forward to see more - I wonder which Italian desighn will find it's way to the body

BobbyBaja · 05-29-2012, 04:36 PM

As everyone has pointed out, awesome headstock! Can't wait to see how the rest of this fills out.

Rusti · 05-29-2012, 05:12 PM

I went for rosewood on the headstock's back cause it matches the neck fillets, so on the neck's back you will see maple\rosewood and on the front ebony only.

ThePhilosopher · 05-29-2012, 05:19 PM

When do you start taking orders?

SilenceIsACrime · 05-29-2012, 05:22 PM

Any ideas for the body shapes or are you just gonna keep us guessing?

Munch · 05-30-2012, 12:08 AM

Wow! That's awesome! I am very excited to see how this goes, looks damn cool so far.

Necromagnon · 05-30-2012, 06:40 AM

Very interesting way to glue headstock! Thanks for the tip!

What? Oh, yes, I almost forgot: nice clamps!

Nice builds, man!!

Navid · 05-30-2012, 07:22 AM
