I got bored and made a guitar.

idunno · 09-02-2011, 09:59 PM

Seven strings. Recessed TOM, Duncan invader bridge, BKP warpig neck, ebony board, coil splits, red fret markers uhh killswitch and I totally never bought knobs whoopsies!

Sorry for the shitty pics, my camera cost 40 dollars.....I tried.

All totally crafted by me

I'm happy to say it actually plays really good and sounds even better! Especially the BKP on clean channel. And of course the indaver is crushing on lead channel. Thanks for looking guys!
Wow...tha'ts too many pictures...

JamesM · 09-02-2011, 10:01 PM

I like everything about that but that it's lacking knobs and I hate Invaders.

Easy fixes. Gimme.

Deets on that finish mang.

idunno · 09-02-2011, 10:04 PM

Damn you are fast!! I honestly would have been better off with a matched set of warpigs but im still satisfied

I might make my own knobs.

skeels · 09-02-2011, 10:11 PM

Nice work! What kind of woods did you use? Neck thru yes? You make the fingerboard too? What did you do the finish with? Where are the in-progress shots? Why haven't you finished roofing your house!?

Hyliannightmares · 09-02-2011, 10:12 PM

when do you start taking orders

JamesM · 09-02-2011, 10:12 PM

I always end up with extra shingles too.

clockworksam · 09-02-2011, 10:21 PM

what kind of finish is it? looks almost like skulls! \m/

kslespaul · 09-02-2011, 10:38 PM

That is beautiful my friend

I see you went for the trapazoidal neck, how you liking that?

Whoah! slow down! Neck wood is golden oak. body is a secret

Yes neck through. I made the fingerboard and did all the fretwork. Finish is my own recipie. Its mildly textured and half the ingredients are epoxy lol. Progress shots inbound. Those shingles were here when I moved in, we keep them around just in case. The roof is fully finished

Loving it! Its very mild though, still pretty round and fairly thin. Thanks for the kind words!

Good point, man.

Nice guitar. I alway wanted to get some of the guitar-making know-how, this one makes me google all weekend.

idunno · 09-03-2011, 12:07 PM

feel free to send me a message ill share the love haha. GO to projectguitarfourums, lots of great builders there and lots of help if you need it!

WishIwasfinnish · 09-03-2011, 12:23 PM

my only complaint is that the cutaway doesn't look like it would give very good access to the higher frets, but it looks awesome!

JamesM · 09-03-2011, 12:52 PM

I'd totally rock that shit. What's the neck profile like?

EDIT:
Nevermind, read the thread idiot... Ahaha.

poopyalligator · 09-03-2011, 01:02 PM

Man that looks stellar. Great job on the killer axe.

idunno · 09-03-2011, 01:51 PM

Yeah upper fret access is kinda les paulish... oversight on my part.

Slunk Dragon · 09-03-2011, 02:10 PM

Very nice guitar! The finish looks really unique, I'm digging it.

Ewan · 09-03-2011, 05:44 PM

You must have been really bored. By some fluke you've made the headstock the same shape as the guitar. And making the neck look like it's a glue-on by painting the body a different colour? You don't fool me! You've forgotten to paint the body as well.

On a more serious note, LED fret markers should be mandatory. Lobby your congress man or MP. The last gig I played I made the mistake of standing in a dark corner. I couldn't see my fret markers. My guitar solo was off key in parts.
