Sherman Guitars 10 in progress (Lots of pics!!! 56k = bathroom break time!)

urklvt · 10-30-2006, 11:25 AM

Hey guys, here are the first shots of the 10 string that Mike Sherman is building for me.

Stats:
Figured maple and walnut neck
Figured maple core body
Figured rosewood top and back
Massacar ebony fretboard
Rosewood pickup cover
Figured rosewood headstock cap

Planned tuning: C# - F# - B - E - A - D - G - B - E - A, single course, low 0.140 to a high 0.006
ETS individual bridges with piezos
Custom Villex pickup

I came up with the design about 4 years ago, but at the time it was for an 8.

Please check out Mike's new myspace page here and his website will be up and running soon at http://www.sherman-guitars.com. The guy is a total master guitar builder and has been building them since 1978. He's also cool as hell to work with and really cares about the outcome of a project. I have never been happier working with anyone on an instrument.

guitars that have body designs like basses are where its at. NICE!

It's gonna be a bitch to play sitting with that lower horn, but nothing a strap cant fix.

Christ, TEN strings?
holy hell.

It looks amazing, by the way,
you said you designed it yourself?

JJ Rodriguez · 10-30-2006, 12:05 PM

What scale length is it? Why didn't you go with fanned frets? Kick ass design by the way.

Pauly · 10-30-2006, 12:18 PM

Holy shit!

Nik · 10-30-2006, 12:25 PM

Wow man, how are you gonna get away with so many strings without fanned frets?

In any case, nice--I'm happy for you. I guess you won't be complaining about not having enough range anymore

I absolutely love the headstock. I don't like how the upper horn makes an arc and connects to the body, though.

Seedawakener · 10-30-2006, 12:35 PM

39 frets?! Is it even possible to play the highest ones?

Other than that... NICE.

Pauly · 10-30-2006, 12:36 PM

Lol look at the gap between the last frets, pick-tapping only lol.

Oguz286 · 10-30-2006, 12:55 PM

HOLY SHIT

Niiiiiiiiiice!
