My most unusual project - **Erotic Content**
« on: December 12, 2006, 01:52:46 AM »
Here's a couple of guitars i made about 5 years ago for an airbrush artist called Julian Murphy.
One resides in the Museum of Erotica in Paris and Julian has the other.
It presented quite a few challenges and we had to work around a few technical issues that came about from Julian not even being a guitarist - let alone a guitar maker - so stuff like scale length etc had to be rejigged as I wanted the guitar to work properly.






And here is the original artwork

The volume and tone controls are wired up so that they work in opposite directions to each other- because thats how guys do it (apparently):roll:

We had to get the tremolo arm specially made - unusual shape!
there isnt actually a tremolo - it's just a strap on trem

And we had a job to make the jack socket work

I hadn't thought that far ahead yet.

Some folks do seem to prefer maple fingerboards it seems.
Not sure if they like them on Vs and Explorers though.......
Usually strats and superstrats it would seem (am I wrong here?)

a V would be cool i guess... but yes, they're the norm (for me) on strats/superstrats.


which reminds me.. i need to call you one of these days about a neck. or just wait till i get the body sorted out.
