Very nice work. Thanks! That's a pretty big compliment, this thing is about as far away from a classical guitar shape as you can get I like more utilitarian shapes myself but I've got to admit that this guitar's shape grew on me the more I worked with it. I'll have a tough time sending this one off to its owner when it's finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members XylemBassGuitar Posted November 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 Here are some pics of the finished guitar! (before the final setup, that's why the saddles are all even) Those are Seymour Duncan Blackouts with an NKK killswitch, three way selector and a volume pot with a push/pull for coil tapping the bridge pickup. I'll get some professional pics of the thing up here pretty soon. Thanks for your guys' interest and compliments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the guitar from my dreams Thanks zantor...those Blackouts sound really good too. I'll try to get some sound samples going here in the next couple of weeks for you guys. I have to send this one to Texas, but I can always make more...I've got more black limba too :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steadfastly Posted November 6, 2010 Members Share Posted November 6, 2010 You just did one very nice job on that guitar. It must give you a lot of satisfaction to have completed such a nice custom project like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XylemBassGuitar Posted November 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 7, 2010 You just did one very nice job on that guitar. It must give you a lot of satisfaction to have completed such a nice custom project like this one. Thanks Steadfastly, it is definitely satisfying...sometimes at the end of a 12 hour day I'll see the current instrument-in-progress hanging on the wall, walk over to admire my work, and realize that I've spent another 45 minutes just looking the details of the guitar over. It would be much harder to let these instruments go to their owners if I didn't know that I had more instruments to make afterwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XylemBassGuitar Posted December 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hey gang, You can finally stop looking at my hack-job pics and start looking at some real photography! Here are a few finished images of this guitar... Cheers, Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zantor9 Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Looks great! I'll bet it feels good to look at the finished pics like this A job well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ExiledCrow Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Awesomeness! The lower bout is not what I'd choose, but hey it isn't mine. I really like the heel and the way the way the shape of the headstock matches the flow of the body. Oh, and extra points for the wood cavity cover.
