Thanks. The guy I built that for is a big Sublime fan, the flames were his idea, the sun at the end of the board is, of course, flame maple!

here's one I built !

here's one! and another! couple o' strats

Just saw Belew on the opening night of his latest tour, in Seattle last night. What a fucking awesome show! Some new stuff, some old stuff, some King Crimson, some Beatles! And the two kids he's got playing bass and drums are just amazing! 22 year old Julie Slick on bass, and her 20 year old...

pedophile!

They may have in fact known what a toke was. I went to high school back east with a group of 5 sisters that ended up on the Lawrence Welk show, and although they were billed as this wholesome, goody goody family act, they were in fact the biggest bunch of slutty party animals ever! Ah, memories!

I'll build it for you! Anything you want, name it, and it's done! Eric.

Thanks, I think it came out ok. I posted this in response to Van's comment about a fretless guitar, not about his fanned fretless questions. Eric.

Bee basses made a fanned fretless that can be seen on extendedrangebassist.com, in the forum. I just recently finished a fretless 5 string baritone, tuned in fifths, that's FCGDA, low to high. 30" scale, the equilvalent of 27 frets, well into bass range, and most of a guitar's. Something like...

More like a Charles Manson custom!

The two seven string strats I built both played and sounded great,definitely not for metal, but nobody gets a strat for metal anyway ( Yngwie excluded!) By the way, Allparts has a seven strat body listed on their website. Routed for the neck and a trem, but no pup routing. You could put...

Here's a 5 string fretted violin I built based on the design of Mark Wood's Viper. I put the tuners at the back end to help centralize the weight, it made a big difference.Came up with my own version of the chest support system, it holds itself up. No shoulder rest, no chin rest! Of course, I'm...

Thanks for the kind words. It's always nice to know one's work is appreciated. Here's another one, while it's not a 7 it is an interesting variation on a theme. Eric.

Well, I found the only pic I have of my original 7 string. Trans purple finish on alder with a maple cap, maple neck with rosewood board, hand wound pups and custom bridge.Sorry for the shitty picture quality, it's all I've got. Eric.

I'm discovering that 5ths tuning is a pretty cool way to get out of a playing rut. My new fretless baritone is 5ths tuned and it's quite an interesting experience to have no idea where you're at! I've got one of my guitars tuned in Fripp's NST tuning, I may have to drag that out and experiment...

PM'ed.

These particular pickups were made and wound by me, by hand! I used 40 gauge wire instead of the usual 44 that most pups are made with. It means I get fewer windings on the bobbin, and lower output as a result, but the tradeoff is a really clear tone in the top end.Very warm,bell like quality...

I do both actually! I'll take a commision anytime, for anything you want built, and at the same time I've got a lot of crazy ideas of my own, so I'll just make something and put it out there. Or keep it if it's cool! Currently I'm working on an 8 string electric classical, so I'm totally open to...

If I can get it in the hands of someone who can do it justice, I'll try to get something posted. I'm a much better builder than I am a player!

Joe Fucking Perry, autographed a telecaster I built! Peter Frampton, super nice guy, and really short! Steve Howe, one of the guys that made me decide to be a guitar player. Steve Vai, nuff said! Tony Levin, bass and stick player extraordinaire! Michael Wilton, Queensryche. Eddie...
