I finished my guitar! Actually, I finished it a while ago, but was too lazy to write a paragraph about it and take good pictures. My goal was to make a guitar I could use for most everything (maybe a combination between a gibson and a ibanez, my two favorite brands.) So here it is!...
Note that I installed pickup rings later, so that looks better now. Complete specs: Body- swamp ash (strat shape) neck- maple w/compound radius maple fretboard (strat shape) 22 frets Bridge+nut- floyd rose licensed pickups- epiphone something (neck) duncan pearly gates (bridge) controls- lp style so there it is! I hope to have a sound sample soon. This post has been edited by sidewas lightning: Jun 24 2009, 03:23 PM

Look at the topic for my guitar... Finished Guitar Build Gear: Homemade strat (You still need to look at its topic!) Squier strat (probably going to get rid of it and get another guitar instead) :) Line 6 spider amp (not actually used for anything, just acts as a speaker) Digitech Gnx2 (kind of old, but cheap, and sounds amazing!) |

QUOTE (AlexLion @ May 29 2009, 09:53 AM) Wow really cool! Do you will "write" something on headstock? I mean like a brand name? Edit: could you take a picture of guitar back? I might do a logo, but I don't know which one will fit! Gibson wouldn't work... Ibanez would be too sharp for a strat headstock... and it's definitely not like the my squier or the fenders I have played. And about the back, I don't have pictues but it is in the same red finish as the front. The sides of the guitar are painted black. QUOTE (Fran @ May 29 2009, 10:13 AM) Wow, that's pretty cool, a self-built custom! Enjoy! That makes it sound really fancy!!! (In a deep voice) Coming May 2009... from master guitar luthier sideways lightning... comes a custom creation to BLOW ALL OTHER GUITARS AWAY!!!
