With the same headstock that's on all of your other guitars.

Not even remotely funny.

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 2:41 pm

I'm kinda surprised no one pointed out this was going to be a hardtail instead of a trem like every other strat in the world.

mobile tacos · Post by **mobile tacos** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 6:12 pm

I'm kind of surprised nobody is commenting on the poem I put in this thread.
I guess it's just us, JJ.

A hardtail, eh? What brought this about?
I used to use Floyd rose setups from '89-02.
Reminds me of the time I put a telecaster lipstick neck pickup in an Ibanez heavy metal guitar.

Ok, let's both of us keep checking back on this thread. Someone is bound to respond to us eventually with some much deserved attention.

Lacquer shot, just have to wait 3 weeks to color cut and buff it.

Jebodiah · Post by **Jebodiah** » Wed Dec 14, 2011 2:37 am

Give it a Dean ML headstock.

You better be using a differnt headstock this time, I'm tired of seeing that similar design on all of your guitars.

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 2:28 am

Too bad, that's my headstock design.

those look like cracks in your routes?>

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 5:10 am

oh no, im just not precise with the neck route depth until I actually make the neck, so that is just uneven routing. Now that I have the neck heel made I can route flat to depth.

AoD · Post by **AoD** » Mon Dec 26, 2011 11:30 pm

weird. personally i would have made the neck first but whatev.. looks cool so far

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 5:02 pm

I royally fucked up drilling the ferrules in the back of this thing, but oh well, no one looks at the back of the guitar. Point is, I need a bigger drill press.

Jebodiah · Post by **Jebodiah** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 6:25 pm

I guess I'll have AoD build my guitar.

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 11:20 pm

You will take 3 years picking out what you want then will probably send endless e-mails about how the guitar will be used for jazz fusion or whatever.

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 12:37 am

How have your guitars sounded, and what do you do with all the ones you build?

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 12:51 am

I have sold a few of them, this red one is already sold. They all sound good to me, otherwise people wouldn't buy them, and I wouldn't keep making them. Pretty soon I'm going to start winding my own pickups.

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 12:58 am

And if you're wondering "how are you going to sell it with the messed up ferrules in the back?"
Like this, and no, this isn't one of mine, just an illustration of how to fix it.

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 7:32 am

Something resembling a guitar.

I still havent done the final polish and intonation, but this is it!

PABassPlayer · Post by **PABassPlayer** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 9:46 am

post a few pics of the side....I'd like to see the binding work.
Is the headstock bound too?

If I'm going to commission you to build me a bass I'd like to see your portfolio.

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:09 pm

No, it isn't bound. I just stained it black. And as far as commissioning a bass, that's fine, but I am swamped over with orders right now, just had 2 more placed.

Ok, so we got time. I'd still like to see a portfolio, and your ideas.
Wood selections? Estimated costs for wood, hardware etc.
Deposit?

PM me info, I am somewhat serious depending on seeing your other work.
I have always wanted a custom/one of piece...

JesseJames · Post by **JesseJames** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 6:00 pm

PM sent.

Me too, plz. Semi-serious as well.

The headstock was inspired by 90's black guys who shaved that little indent into the front of their haircuts.

Balls On Parade · Post by **Balls On Parade** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 11:16 pm

that headstock would look really cool on a Bernie Rico style/inspired V body...
