Nice job! I would love to see a picture or two of some of your finished guitars if you have some handy.

That's some beautiful stuff man. Do you mill the necks too?

 

[slabmaster]

Yes i do.All hand done.i'll post some necks i have laying around soon.

 

[Blakesmaster]

That's awesome. Even the fretboards? And do you make each guitar with different pickups and what not for a range of sounds?

 

[slabmaster]

It's not done yet,but here's a neck i just fretted.Still have to cut to length.I have alot of time in it already as you can see.

Beautiful work you got there. I really like the maple bodies.




I gotta ask, how did you get the saw and mill so clean after using it?

 

[irishcountry]

Awesome craftsmanship beautiful inlay work that must have took a LOOONG time and alot of patience! I like the wood you used for the V! I built a solidbody from scratch about 7 yrs ago slightly larger PRS style body with a Ibanez neck which is all I had to copy at the time now I wished I had a fatcarve like PRS or a les paul still haven't played it much my fretwork was and still is rough!! I cracked the head stock hammering in my frets and had to mill off the ebony veneer on the headstock and put carbon fiber rods in and put the ebony back on which took some wind out of my sails on doing another one anytime soon. Must say though it was some very enjoyable work and I learned alot!! One day I would like to do a SG body and neck with some trap inlays. Lots of hand work and I don't think most guitar players understand or appreciate what goes into a custom but some do! Great job irishcountry

Do you carve out or scrollsaw the recesses? I saw an article a while back in FWW on marquetry, and would love to do some inlay work like that sometime. I don't have the time to start now, but someday!
