My Builds

Just thought I'd share my builds that I have done. Rough as they are they play great and sound incredible. Got impatient on the finishing process on both of them because I wanted to play them, but I'm getting better. Need the type of disciplne that indeedido had for his franky:0

Sweet, dude! Bottoms Up!

I know the people around here will really dig hearing about your builds.

Fair Warning, just fucking ignore si-gar. He'll tell you how to build your guitars better or what he would of done but has never posted any of his shit, ever.

Nice work! Are those Stew-Mac necks?

[marksjohnc]

[marksjohnc]

No. One is a Mighty mite neck that has jumbo frets that were leveled, crowned and dressed. also had the nut shaped for 9 guage strings.
The other is a Musikraft neck with a LSR Roller nut that is a 80's style charvel San Dimas with close 12th fret dot spacing. That thing cost me an arm and a leg but man it's a sweet neck. After I finished it it's slick and fast! Too bad my carpal tunnel keeps me slow!

Thanks for comments!

This is a custom build I did for a Pastor friend of mine..yeah a pastor!
I made up my own logo and NYG did my own custom neck plate for me. All copyrighted and all. Hopefully ther will be more in the future. Getting too old and beat up for carpentry and construction anymore. Just a hobby now but maybe someday.....
His kids called it wormy! Funny!

I learned alot about setting up guitars from Dan Erlewine from Stew Mac and I tell ya if you do it right, you can drop a vintage 6 screw trem and do all kinds of freaky stuff and it'll stay in tune! May need a quick string bend but it'll come right back.

I just got an email back from guitarheads. From the conversation from the franky post and indeedido's info he gave me about his neck plate. He said he doen't do them. He just emailed me and said: Then they have me confused with someone else. Looking at the picture you sent me, that doesn’t even look engraved (it looks lasered), and I do not even own a laser engraver… Also, all of our custom engraved designs come from hand-drawn artwork…

So someone is confused Now I am for sure!
Ahhhhhhh Fugetaboutit

Hey what do you have hidden back there in that photo? What kind of guitars?
Are they older charvels?

Two old early/mid 80's Charvel necks, yeah - one on an early 80's Dimarzio/Charvel replacement body, one that was on a custom body in that pic, now going on a Musikraft Charvel body..the rest are primarily Warmoth parts...I specifically ordered all 3 of the Warmoth necks to very near my Charvel neck's specs, but added compound-radius boards.



Of course, GAyR will now accuse you of "titillating the mod's ego", but well...see Kwame's post as to why you should ignore him.



Musikraft makes great stuff btw...I loooooove the body I got from them!

Now why would I criticize a parts guitar, in a parts guitar thread if its on topic?

[indeedido]

Nice job! The hardest part is waiting. I'm like you and want to put them together and play them right away. It was hard waiting for the pant to dry for each step and for the clear coat to cure. It pays off in the end
