Re: NEW!! Learn Guitars

Wenge eh? Very cool, I've never seen Wenge with that swirling figure before. Very cool. Nice piece of wood.

Very interested in getting one of these down the road (probably won't be for a year or so), especially since I had some interesting trans graphic ideas I've been kicking around.

I do notice none of your guitars have inlays, is that something that is just because of the particular guitars shown, or are you not planning on doing inlays? Not that I particularly care, a fingerboard with some nice figure is just as cool as an elaborate inlay IMO.

Hey Chris
I do inlay. I am just not a big fan of it. Dot markers will be standard. I have a few contacts for special stuff if needed. Like I said earlier, I built these as spec. Considering that I was the customer. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] hehe. The standar nut width is 1.75. The guitars with the Floyd nut use R-5's. The black one with the grim reaper is a 1 15/16. I have always liked spanish guitar. The way they play, so I built this guitar's fretboard much like that.
In fact all the guitars I build have a bit wider necks.

Wow man, I'm very impressed with your work from painting to building. Of course one would have to play the guitar to see what the deal is, but just from the visual point they are really cool. Nice work man [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: NEW!! Learn Guitars

Christ, you've got design down PAT dude!!! And the killer finishes just set these badboys over the top! I'm a fan of my 1.75 Strathead jackson neck, the wider fretboards look so phat on your guitars! I had to check to make sure they weren't sevens, that gold one is screaming for it! and I'm screaming for IT [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: NEW!! Learn Guitars

Some of the least-cheesy looking, most dynamic and energentic graphics I've seen in a long time. VERY cool stuff.

Re: NEW!! Learn Guitars

Re: NEW!! Learn Guitars

ehhh not for me...especially that 'horn'...why have the cover on the tele bridges? the whole reason guitars don't have them anymore is coz it made palm muting f'in difficult...and u can't easily adjust ur saddles and pickup height if u want to

[Learn Guitars]

Re: NEW!! Learn Guitars

Yes, nothing was subcontrated building them. Just my spare...spare time.

Re: NEW!! Learn Guitars

thats pretty cool...i've seen quite a few of you're paint designs around...was it you who did the nuclear one...that was pretty cool...pretty outrageous...are alot of your designes painted by hand?

[Learn Guitars]

Re: NEW!! Learn Guitars

Yes. I did the Nuclear. They are all done by hand. I use masking when nessecary. Airbrushed.

Re: NEW!! Learn Guitars

That elongated Tele shape is very interesting. It's nice to see something unique for a change.

And the finishes are simply stunning. I agree about the gold tribal...totally badass. Love the etching on the ashtray.

Very cool stuff, Mike. My hat's off to you!
