My custom build thread

x666charlie666x · 12-27-2011, 01:00 PM

well basically in the next week or two im going to be ordering a guitar from Siggery Guitars, i thought i'd do a thread on the build, with progress pics and what not,

So first of all what specs am i choosing,

7 string
Heresy body shape style (have to check siggery website)
spalted maple top/mahogany body
Mahogany neck/birdseye maple fingerboard
bernie rico style headstock
siggery pickups (supposed to be really nice, if they aren't then i'll put some bkps or crunch/liquifire combo)
sperzel tuners
hipshot bride
27" scale
Killswtich
2 volume pots and 1 tone pot
3 way pickup selector

i think thats everything, if not i shall update as i go along,

if anyone has any questions or suggestions then please feel free to, i haven't placed the order yet as im still unsure about a few things (whether to mahogany or alder, hipshot or tom,)

PS - I dig the avatar.

BOLT-ON! Bolt-on's only have a bad rap because Fender during the CBS era apparently hired drunk apes to do the neck pockets. They will sustain just as well if made properly. You can also get a bunch of extra goodies from Martian with the saved money. I also find the neck access on most AANJ guitars to be fine.

Spalted maple always looks brilliant, can't wait for it to get started.

x666charlie666x · 01-05-2012, 09:30 AM

So ive just placed my deposit today and here are the full specs for the guitar

Heresy body shape style
spalted maple top/mahogany body (36mm)
5 piece Bolt on Mahogany neck/birdseye maple fingerboard
bernie rico style headstock
siggery pickups (they have been known to sound similar to lundgrens and bkp aftermaths so i am sure they will be amazing)
sperzel tuners
hipshot bridge
27" scale
Killswitch
2 volume pots and 1 tone pot
3 way pickup selector (moved to where the neck pickup volume pot is for easier access)

Marty is going to be sending me pictures throughout the build and i shall be uploading them straight here for everyone to see!!

Darkstar124 · 01-05-2012, 10:38 AM

Those are damn near the specs I'd be after myself, mighty fine taste good sir!
Also, props #2 for trailer park boys. That show kills.

x666charlie666x · 01-31-2012, 06:31 AM

got sent a photo of the spalted maple, looks sick!!

x666charlie666x · 02-29-2012, 01:39 PM

got an email from siggery stating that the guitar will be dispatched within two weeks, i haven't received anymore pictures therefore i cant post any, i will definitely have a NGD when it arrives though

TimSE · 02-29-2012, 01:40 PM

That is some lovely spalt right der

x666charlie666x · 03-06-2012, 06:07 PM

got some new photos, the spalted maple blows my mind!

Wretched · 03-07-2012, 06:59 PM

That's awesome. Any plans to carve the top a bit, besides the arm contour?

I'm an absolute sucker for spalted tops, and this is one of the crazier ones I've seen. Excited to see the finished product.

JamesM · 03-08-2012, 11:51 AM

Looks like a Rorschach Test.

Pikka Bird · 03-08-2012, 06:35 PM

God damn it, there's an awesome goat skull in that spalt! Too bad it's gonna get ruined by pickups and hardware.

Miek · 03-08-2012, 10:45 PM

I see two bears hi-fiving.

Levi79 · 03-08-2012, 11:09 PM

Pushingink · 03-09-2012, 08:30 AM

That top is amazing

I to ordered a siggery about a month after yours so I am stoked to see yours finished. Similar specs as yours but fanned fret. Patience slowly slipping away lol.

Exactly. Filling up the entire body. It's all I can see when I look at it, it's stunning.

x666charlie666x · 03-10-2012, 04:22 PM

so the headstock is probably the best style ive ever seen, the birdseye maple fingerboard is going to look amazing aswell
