Thats basically kinda like one of my 7 in line headstocks made into a 4 / 4 version

Its cool but not sure its 100% my cup of tea, but thanks for the ideo

possumkiller · 09-10-2009, 11:26 AM

Yeah thats kinda what I was trying to go for something that looks like your 6 and 7 inlines. Itd be cool if it would be a little more curved but Im no good at making that stuff on the computer that was just a hack job.

vampiregenocide · 09-10-2009, 11:27 AM

That is very sexy man

I love how every one of your guitars, however traditional the design, always has a ......... feel to it. You're kind like the Tom Hanks of luthiers.

Are those sperzel tuners you're sticking on there?

I have a new headstock design which I designed with Alex for whom I'm currently building this 7 string, check it out...

MF_Kitten · 09-10-2009, 12:51 PM

awwe, i totally missed the progress shots last time around!

i love how it´s coming along!

starting to get a real idea of what it´ll look like when finished. still, when the bridge, the pickups, the knobs, tuners, and strings are all in there, and the wood has been finished, and the logo is on...

man, it´ll be SO DAMN COOL!

i love bloodwood, man. when i´m getting a custom guitar next time, it´ll totally have a bloodwood fingerboard! it´s brighter than rosewood, has nice grain patterns, yet isn´t brown! it´s such a lovely shade of red too, which makes it that much more attractive!

hufschmid · 09-10-2009, 12:53 PM

Its going to also feature my luminescent fingerboard side dots system and my first 8 string humbucker mounting rings

And of course the first ''black'' ..........slip nut and string retainer....

MF_Kitten · 09-10-2009, 01:00 PM

this guitar is, undoubtedly, totally metal

Apophis · 09-10-2009, 03:22 PM

Just WOW !!!!!

I think it looks just AMAZING. Talking about wood choice is useless

just great looking combo, what we can say more

The other topic is shape. Personally I think that headstock you did is just great and it fits the best. In-line headstock will ruin the design imo, that line which follows the body shape is great idea and couldn't be done better imo. Tele has it's own unique shape and you followed that imo way better than Fender ever did

hufschmid · 09-10-2009, 03:29 PM

Thanks Seb, I had the same feeling about the 8 in line headstock not being great for a tele design and wanted something a little more classy, then this idea of the headstock which matches the body cutaway just hit me...

hufschmid · 09-10-2009, 03:50 PM

Got some pics of the fingerboard gluying process for those of you who are interested to see how its done

I bought a solid marble table to make sure the surface on which i'm working is dead flat and i use this elaborated system to keep everything perfectly flat...

Then I keep everything this way for at least 48 hours...

MF_Kitten · 09-10-2009, 03:55 PM

you know, now that you mention it, fender´s own headstock design doesn´t flow all that well with the bodyshape once you remove the "vintage" attitude.

the cool thing is, the headstock you´ve got going there is a totally ordinary concept, but the execution is just so great

it makes lots of sense, too, since it follows the upper nodule and lower cutaway.

vansinn · 09-10-2009, 04:11 PM

This is just not right! I don't have the money for a copy, and I want in

Marvellous work, Patrick. The flow in those lines makes the 8-string neck look not wide at all.
I should never have signed up in here, haha

I just hope that the strings will reach the tuning machines

Hey, that's my line!

Cheesebuiscut · 09-10-2009, 08:07 PM

Oh I'm pretty sure thats clive's line.

And why does this look like its getting done so fast!?

BTW I will not cut an arm bevel because it will look stupid so instead i cut an integrated armrest to make it look sharp...

guys dont foget the final guitar will have a black distressed finish...

right now the guitar's weight is 2.9KG

I think it looks gorgeous even without the finish.
Great work, looks stunning

i'm glad that you think its going fast

Just keep in mind that I dont build home deposit guitars and that I dont have a full time side job and this is not a prodject that i'm working on once and a while....

I'm a full time luthier working 8 hours a day on my instruments, I dont do anything else, I dont do repair work for other customers guitars, only construction, so if an average days of work is 8 hours you can now count the number of days i'm working on it and make up an estimate of the time i spent on it....

I'm a hard worker, I go forward with things and dont keep them in my workshop for 9 monthes... Still think its going quick now?

lol

PS: of course I can cut out a body from a piece of mahogany and take a picture of it in 4 monthes to show Clive the progress, I'm sure he would love this approach

mattofvengeance · 09-11-2009, 05:54 AM

Good Lord your guitars are sexy. I'm saving up for one now, and I can't wait to get one done!

Mattmc74 · 09-11-2009, 08:38 AM

Looks awesome Patrick as usual!

hufschmid · 09-11-2009, 10:47 AM

Morten, do you like distressed finishes?

caughtinamosh · 09-11-2009, 10:51 AM

Ah, the sweet smell of sarcasm....

hufschmid · 09-11-2009, 10:54 AM

this is the first step of the finish process which will take a good week to complete....

Now you know what I had in mind with this thermited neck.....

caughtinamosh · 09-11-2009, 10:59 AM

Woah, that looks good...

What's happening to the zebrano top, with regards to finish?

Looking absolutely gorgeous thus far.
