That top is just plain ridiculous mate! The finished guitar should be an absolute stunner..

I really need to go to bed. I sat looking at the picture of the top for a good 3 minutes thinking 'why is it in the shape of a brontosaurus'. I then realised that due to tiredness my brain was playing tricks on me.

It really is a brontosaurus!!

God i love redwood - even that picture wont capture the sheer 3D depth it has in real life.


I am much of the same mind, Redwood curly, Redwood quilt, Redwood burl are all so incredibly godly!  I can't wait to build a guitar out of Redwood - hopefully a Redwood burl!

Alright mates, here is another update for my project guitar.  I ordered a beautiful piece  of Honduras Mahogany off of ebay, and it arrived today, so I'll have some pics of it up.  I should have the neck cut and routed for the truss rod any day now, and then I have to radius the fret board, glue it, and fret it.

Looking good there.

I missed this thread first time around. That redwood is going to look awesome on your guitar. Hell ... it looks awesome just sitting there  :D

Are you going for the 6 in line headstock, as per the template on the mahogany, or a 3+3?

Well actually, this is going to be a headless guitar, so I'll just cut the headstock off.  I'll make the other neck normal and sell it though.

regarding the trem, why not fit the new XS-Trem from Headless Research instead of that R-Trem? It should be alot nicer quality?

cool top  8)

Not to argue, but out of interest - what is your problem with headless guitars?

I'm with Fernando - I have an inherant fear of headless guitars.  They just look at bit wrong to me.

Still each to their own  :D
