Made a couple of bodies today

[Blazer]

Remember my double neck?


That style really appealed to me so I began to fantasize about making a single neck version, so I contacted the guy I got the body sides from in aquiring more body sides to make guitars from and here's what I have been doing today...


From left to right:
Body 1. maple sides with a meranti mid section, destined to get the full BC Rich treatment with ten strings, dimarzio pickups and varitone.
Body 2. All maple, the ugly duckling from the bunch, so far I haven't got any ideas on what I'll do with this one.
Body 3. Same as body 1, this one will get strat pickups and a whammy bar.
Body 4. Padouc sides with a maple midsection. Definately the best of the bunch, I'll probably make this one into a fretless bass.

That double neck looks big enough to give you a hernia!

damn......

It's lighter than it looks though. Because of the extensive back routs it has to accomodate the electronics

[Robert Burns]

Holy Rick Nielson!! Looks great, hows it sound? Nice job you did

[Bengal]

Nice! Can't wait to see them finished...

Gonna leave them natural or stain or paint them?

still waiting on that SG......

still waiting on that SG......

Have a good time waiting, hope you have plenty of food and water. And why don't you buy yourself a sitar, by the time I come up with that one you ought to have mastered playing it.





















Because I dropped that idea and sold the body I made.

Awesome work! You're from around my parts aren't you? I could perhaps use a luthier in the near future!

If I decide to sell one of the guitars I'm making I'll inform you.

[Blazer]

Well, here's a little update, I planed ans shaved the brown body and got it ready for routing. The Alembic influnce is now really apparent.

Thats going to be a nice looking guitar. You make your own necks also?

[AfterForever]

Looking good!

Doesn't the knob in the middle on the double neck get in the way when your playing the bottom neck?

On these I will. But I also use store bought necks on my self built instruments

Cool... I'm starting to build my own... or attempting to. I have a lot of the tooling from lmii.com.
