Fucking christ. I actually just had a converstaion with someone today about how I'd never really want to pay over $400 for a guitar, maybe $500 if I could really justify it.

The maple for the top of it cost 200.00 alone.

Wow, surprised PBassPlayer hasn't attacked you for not liking "quality"

This has nothing to do with that thread, quit trying to bleed your little squabbles into other threads.

I won't comment on the retard.

JJ, what finish are you planning on putting on it, that wood grain is almost too cool to cover with paint.

It's going to be an oil finish.

I could have gotten a lacquer finish, but it would have upped the price $500 and the wait time 4 weeks.

so where is this thing, is it done yet?

No, he takes a while to do them. Probably be here in January.

pffft january?? you could have done the research, bought the tools and built your own cheaper and faster than that.

I prolly could have built the body, but as far as the neck and getting scale length right I don't have the foggiest idea how to do that.

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Sun Nov 23, 2008 1:10 am

I decided to go a different route with the neck and have the actual top wood inlaid into the fretboard.
Spalted maple inlays

Looks nice

yeah that does look really nice

Pfl?yd · Post by **Pfl?yd** » Sun Nov 23, 2008 6:07 pm

That's pretty cool for the fretboard.

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Sun Nov 23, 2008 6:13 pm

I'd never seen it before on a guitar, so I thought it would be a nice addition.

Shaping up nicely, is the body quite large?

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 3:56 pm

I dont know. I think it is standard size.

DBS · Post by **DBS** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 4:09 pm

i know you think i'm being pedantic and trying to wind you up - i'm not - but i think the shape ruins the whole thing. the body looks beautifully made and the high quality materials make me think it would play like a dream, i just don't like the body shape. it looks kind of bc-rich-esque.

Wagner Vajagner · Post by **Wagner Vajagner** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 4:10 pm

The shape is different..But I dont hate it.

croninburg · Post by **croninburg** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 4:11 pm

What pups/controls are you planning on?

Tone pros Tunomatic bridge, seymour duncan jb in the bridge and sh 59 in the neck.
Controls like a les paul, 2 vol, 2 tone, toggleswitch by the vol and tone knobs.

I can appreciate your opinion. I like it though. It's something I came up with completely on my own, and designed 100% of it, from the wood inlays to the headstock. When it's said and done there won't be another one like it in the world.

Some people will like it, some won't. And that's okay.

You designed that so you could sit down and play it, correct? I'm having trouble seeing how you're going to be able to do that still.

i think it'll come out sick man. I know if i was going to have a custom i'd get some shit that was unique as hell looking.

PABassPlayer · Post by **PABassPlayer** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 10:12 am

When complete, you have to report back occasionally on how the "wood in wood" inlays wear. I would be concerned with odd or uneven wear due to dis-similar woods.

Reminds me a bit of them washburn pop-tops if i remember the shape correctly.

The more I look at this the more I see the big differences between designs.
