Title: My First handmade
Post by: Thrull on March 31, 2012, 02:36:19 AM: Well I've kicked around the idea of making handmades for years. This is my first successful one I've ever built without the assistance of a pre-made neck. Also pretty much the only one I've felt comfortable showing off. Granted it's still a bolt on, the next one will be a neck through. Just got everything assembled and test fitted, some final sanding to do still, but should be on its way to paint soon. Oh and its Warpig, PAF equipped! 8)

here is a few in progress shots as well

"You'll have someone's eye out" :lol:

Impressive stuff, not my bag but I'm a boring traditionalist.

Post by: MrBump on March 31, 2012, 08:22:12 AM: Dude - that's an EVIL guitar! Playing in a folk trio are we?

That's really good. Love it.

Post by: Ian Price on March 31, 2012, 01:52:48 PM: Not my style but nicely done on the workmanship! It hsould give me the kick up the **** that I need ot get my project going agian - I don't think it will though!

Also, when I first saw the picture, I thought it was going to be a Devries custom type thing - very happy that it isn't!

Post by: HTH AMPS on March 31, 2012, 02:11:57 PM: I dig it, nice workmanship - I take it you're not playing indie-pop with a beast like that and Warpigs. Looks like a machine ready to scare off kids with skinny jeans and winkle-pickers :lol:

Post by: Telerocker on March 31, 2012, 03:32:28 PM: I always admire people who bring this kind of workmanship. Congrats!

Title: Re: My First handmade
Post by: Alex on April 02, 2012, 01:53:45 PM: It looks really good, plus it's a fresh new design. How does it play and sound actually?
My biggest fear if I ever did such a project would be that I end with something that looks ok, but really doesn't play as nice as my bought guitars.

thanks to everyone for all your feedback and compliments. I have been doing setups, mods, and repairs for my friends for years now and have really wanted to tackle a handmade for years. I really hope to keep growing in the craft.
