Yes!!! is here!!! Mako`s guitar project is done. (56k, go to les paul forums)

MaKo´s Tethan · 04-05-2010, 12:19 AM

this project start on december 15 2009, so after 3 and a half months, my guitar is finish.

Specs...
-Neck thru body construction.
-26" scale.
-3.4kg.
-3 pieces of quartersawn walnut neck.
-quartersawn anchico wings.
-unknown fretboard,same unknown wood cover pick ups.
-24 jumbo frets, nail position markers.
-horse bone nut.
-standard sealed tuners.
-self mad fixed bridge w/ strings thru body (and custom back plate)
-Dimarzio New 7`s pick ups.
-Finished with oil, wax, and secrets things
-strings .09 to .60 tuned in BEADGBE

I want to thank 2 special people who made this possible:
first, my boleved girlfriend, for her critics, comments, pattience, and exelent pictures.
and to Ragen,6o66er here, to send me a box full of awesome stuff, best p`ups I ever had, thank you, again and again.

And thanks a lot to Customisbetter, because this was not flat, Samer, Savindur-El, Sebastian, TomPerverteau, vansinn, AeonSolus
jymellis, poopyalligator, Lern2swim, Fred the Shred, Nonservium and ralphy1976, for being the biggest followers of my thread, and be friends here.
I have forgotten many many people, but you know who you are so thank you too.
To this community,ss.org, for all the information and knowledge I found everyday here. this is the best forum in th Inet far.

ok, I don`t want to cry so I will talk about the guitar.

the sound is awesome, the clean tones are the best I ever heard, the bridge pick up sounds like a piezo, and the neck pick up
with a lil bit of echoe sound beautiful.
with the distortion on...kick ass, the sustain is infinite and the armonics are sooooo easy to get, the neck pick up is fully rounded,
great for shred, and the bridge is pure metal.
the action is a lil high yet, I have some fret buzz yet and I have to adjust the trussrod a little bit more.
the infinite radius fretboard is something I can never left, is the best way to play a seven string.
even with the 26 scale, the strings feel really great, not too thigh, not floppy.
the intonation is fine, no problems at all, and this baby keep in tune really well.
the unpluged sound is pretty loud, and when you play a chord, the whole guitar produce the sound, I mean, resonant, alot, the neck thru myth is valid here.
I need a couple of things to get a decent clip or video...my digital camera can not handle the sound, and my computer need a sound card, not the shitty on board one.

enough, stop talkin, I spend all the day to take 127 pics with my girlfriend, these are the best ones.
enjoy.

CrushingAnvil · 04-05-2010, 12:26 AM

IconW · 04-05-2010, 03:16 AM

That guitar is METAL!

I mean, it's very ruff and classy at the same time. Like ultimate metal machine! I love the looks and finish. It truly looks like hand-made instrument.
I'm very happy that it turned out to be so cool.

Joel · 04-05-2010, 03:32 AM

This guitar has turned out amazing! It looks fantastic.

Mavigh · 04-05-2010, 04:48 AM

signalgrey · 04-05-2010, 05:23 AM

looks fantastic man. love the wood pickup covers.

Varcolac · 04-05-2010, 05:35 AM

That is one sexy beast of a guitar. With only three and a half months and some mystery lumber you've come up with something that looks (and probably sounds) pretty damn intense. Congratulations!

13point9 · 04-05-2010, 05:49 AM

without looking at the string rings sticking out the back i'd assume is was a custom build using pro power tools so glad you have finally finished it

Now I know I have to take less than a month making my guitar body, I don't even have to do a neck >.< lol

Werwolf999 · 04-05-2010, 11:02 AM

MaKo´s Tethan,

Do the wood pickup covers effect the tone in any discernible way?

liamh · 04-05-2010, 12:41 PM

That looks sick.
I love the weathered look on the wood on the back.
