Extended scale 6 stringer in the works

jammy · 10-31-2007, 07:35 AM

I'm not quite sure where this should be posted, but hell, this'll do! Started work on this one a couple of days ago. It's going to be a 27" scale guitar built for jazz. Neck EMG, and Graphtech Ghost bridge, semi hollow, flamed black walnut top.

The top's ready to go on, but embarrassingly - I've run out of Titebond!

Nice! Gonna have F holes? What are you tuning it to? Bb so you can jam with clarinets or something? Dunno, just an idea.

I think fanned frets would look pretty cool but whatever i'm just some chinese kid haha. Good going mang.

Great work as always!

Looks great, more pics, please

looks nice, not sure about the EMG pickup for jazz, but i´m just not an EMG person :P

they´re nice for distortion though... and i hear the 85 isn´t all sterile sounding, and i can imagine that has something to do with the alnicos in it...

I like the idea. Keep posting

jammy · 10-31-2007, 02:37 PM

The top is still oversize (by about a 1/4" all round) but you get the idea...
The "F" hole will look better placed when the top's taken down to size.
