Tyr - Brazilian 7 String Custom Guitar - Page 2

I had to use a bit of photoshop to make the figure pop out. The other side you could see the figuring without any problem. Due to the contrast, lightning, etc change the color of the wood was also modified. I photoshoped it just to make the figuring appear a bit more.

Well, you can get an idea of what will look like.

With a bit of luck i'll maaaaaaaybe have few more pics tomorrow. I'm going to pray for it.

And thanks for the compliment. It means a lot to me!

So, uuuuhh... I'm thinking about putting a light sunburst on that top. What you guys think? I'm not sure what to do. Yay or nay?
In one way, the sunburst would look cool. In other way, the figuring on the horns would disappear a bit (or entirely?) because of the black paint.

Soubi7string · 08-03-2010, 10:15 PM

DUDE
sweet concept!
can't wait to see the finished product but you HAVE TO post a video of how it sounds

btw....what does this have to do with Tyr?

Alberto7 · 08-04-2010, 04:38 AM

That top is so orgasmic! I definitely want to use that wood for my next guitar whenever it is I get a new one

As for doing a sunburst to that top... I'm not sure, I think I would personally go natural with it, I'm all for natural finishes. Again, just my opinion... But hey! It's your guitar, and it certainly WOULD NOT look bad with a sunburst!

Just gotta choose the song. lol.
About the Tyr.
"Tyr, known for his great wisdom and courage, agreed, and the other gods bound the wolf"
This is when they are about to put Gleipneir on Fenrir. Fenrir asks for one of the gods to put the hand on his mouth, and Tyr does it.
So it pretty much says that Tyr got a lot of balls, and it doesn't matter if he is going to get ....ed or not, he does whatever he needs to. This is pretty much myself.

Hey! Thanks! I actually had to clean my keyboard after the pics, lol.

I'm going to tell you a little secret. PRS bought 120 cubic meters of this wood. Don't tell anyone, ok?

I'll think a bit about the surburst. I like natural.

If you want i can post few more pics of another Imbuia pieces that my luth got.

Of course, almost forgot. I asked for some simple Pau-Marfim (which would be the random maple) and he give me this:

He is ....ing cool. Isn't he?

ivancic1al · 08-05-2010, 11:12 AM

Wow, Epic man.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that - WTF?! That's fantastic! Gorgeous guitars with gorgeous woods... As usual, PRS are after some of the most beautiful pieces out there

and sure, some pics of that Imbuia beauty wouldn't hurt anyone, now would it?

And out of curiosity now, do you have an idea of what tonal properties that wood has?

Tonal properties... Hmm... I don't really know. I heard a lot of things. Bassy, warm... But my luth told me that when he made a mahogany/imbuia/mahogany neck the imbuia killed almost totally the vibration of the mahogany.
On tops and backs he says that it really doesn't affect the overall tone.

To the pics:

All his imbuia pieces are incredibly large...
Those are just few ones... He have a lot more...

I know, it is really stupid in some ways... And there is one more reason... Sounds good!

Other dude: "What's your guitar name?!"

Me: "TYR !!!!!!"

Other dude: "OHMYGOD!! *Bow down* YOU'RE MY MASTER *mutate into a sexy girl and start getting naked*"

Nice...

The first song that i'll play on the guitar is the theme from Sponge Bob Square Pants, Br00tal. Pure shred and atrocity.

Ok, maybe not. Probably i'll play Symphony X.

Soubi7string · 08-06-2010, 10:05 PM

no you should play Hold the Heathen Hammer High by Tyr XD

Actually it's not a bad idea! That song sounds pretty awesome! Really liked, thanks for the advice.

But actually the guitar have nothing to do with that band, i've never heard any of their songs before. I can say that this song is a great first impression!
And... Is it just me or Tyr needs more bass on their songs?

Or i'll play Ensiferum!

And Symphony X...

leandroab · 08-07-2010, 04:15 PM

.... yes.

I'm a bit confused about the strap pin position. Should i place on the stock position, which would be on the side of the upper horn. Or on the back of the upper horn?
Is there any difference?

I play with my strap high, not extremely high. But high.
I never tried any guitar with the strap pin placed on the back of the upper horn. So, tell me more about it!

It will take 1-2 days until i get more pics.

Stealthdjentstic · 08-09-2010, 12:57 AM

That's some nice wood

Yeah that's bee Tyr's fault all these years they never really added more bass to their songs so it kinda just floats IMO

Enzo · 08-17-2010, 09:44 PM
