That was a good one! Exactly. The middle slot is for the truss rod itself and the black stripes are the carbon reinforcements. After talking to Jan he told me his reasoning for the two shorter ones: While leveling frets (on other guitars) he noticed a slight lift in the fretboard, caused by...

Time for another update! You can see the neck being worked on and the body binding finished. I' really getting excited at this point :D

So I own a Driftwood MiniNightmare with 6L6 tubes and let me tell you, this little monster is best amp I've ever played. I have the older version without the IR loader but the rest of the features are incredible: built in TS, record out, speaker sim, noise gate, different gain characteristics...

Hoe Cocker

I knew what I was getting into with the top. Both Jan and Mason told me that this piece was a thinner one (if I remember correctly it was around 4mm) and the the bevel would uncover the body wood. I had no problems with that, I actually like the way it looks. Another reason for picking a...

Update #1 A couple of months have passed by now and I have recieved the first major update. By now I have gotten in touch with the guy who is actually building my guitar, Jan. It makes a difference if you can talk directly to the person who is building your guitar. Together we could work around...

It got burnt a bit

Because of general lack of information about this custom shop I wanted to share my experience with Aviator Guitars in this thread from the beginning to the final product. This thread may act as a little orientation for people who might be similarily gun shy like me regarding this brand. Also if...

I just recently sold an Indonesian Jackson RRX24 and apart from few minor finishing issues the guitar was pretty darn good for its relatively cheap price!

There are a few, but they have been there through different phases of my life and they are here to stay! Mastodon - Leviathan/Crack the Skye Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye Counting Crows - August and Everything after Graveyard - Hisingen Blues Tool -...

Stirred up some controversy it seems... Well I bought the guitar new 2 months ago and it was a little experiment in getting it to look as messed up as possible but sound and play like a dream (for metal purposes). I did some modifications to it and also some real "Frankensteining" with the...

Trying to get her in the "right light"

A big factor that also needs to be considered is your touch. Depending on how hard you press down on the fret or hit the strings it affects the buzz. Playing an instrument is a very personal thing. Once you find/learn about your own style you will notice that certain set ups affect your...

Hey guys, here's the update! I have contacted the guys in the Netherlands and after a short explanation that they have never encountered a problem like this they told me to contact ProMusicTools and get things sorted out through them. After some consideration I just skipped that part and...

This one feels like home!

Here are some (hopefully working) pics of the guitar while I'm waiting for a reply

It was a Mayones gigbag. You can see one in Rabea Masaads video of his custom Duvell. I have contacted my Dutch contact yesterday and now I'm waiting for a reply. Fingers crossed!

Well after experimenting with different weight wrenches by taping them to the headstock I found that applying them had the effect of shifting the deadspot on the F/G string. It tends to move up the neck into the higher registers. This makes me doubt the theory of it having a high fret in that...
