Cheers for the feedback, mates...
Yeah, those are Steinie gearless tuners...
Second guitar I've used 'em on...highly recommended, too...
theyhave a smooth quality feel,look tech, and are great for unconventional headstock shapes...Ned is one of my heroes.
I met this customer by email-he saw something else I had built, and sent me some computer drawings of the rough idea for this axe...
I drew up some variations, he liked certain things about different sketches that were brought together in a composite, then drawn to scale with the neck ( 25" scale on this one )-
He approved it, we drew up a contract, and laid 50% of the agreed price down...
My price for a ground up custom build is approximately $3000/£1500/€2250 , 50% down to launch the project, balance+ case & shipping upon completion.
I have no standard models, & have no plans to make any in the near future. My customers are going to have to work with me to design their own guitars- the farther out, the better. This means except for guitars that are commisioned as pairs & built simultaneously, all LibriumGuitars are one-off customs, and will not be copied/cloned for other customers.
I do build ups of conventional shapes , but why? I am working full time repairing/restoring guitars, which means my building work is all in my "free time" ( HEHEHE!!!! ) , so buildtimes are stretched to 4-6 months...
thanks again for the kind words, me bruthers...
