    Second build, 7 string neck thru rhoads. lots of pics

    Well I know that now :) I just hate doing things in haste. I knew all along that I would run out of time but since I was building something I had never done before I had to balance between baby steps and all in approaches so I made a choise not spend time on templates. in retrospect, I should...

    Second build, 7 string neck thru rhoads. lots of pics

    and then about twenty or thirty layers of tru-oil later here you can see how the patch for the first router accident looks like. it could be worse. It's not perfect but it plays like a dream - a dream that has no routers in it. This contraption will get few more layers of tru oil...

    Second build, 7 string neck thru rhoads. lots of pics

    It is starting to look like a guitar now. Project V1 meets Project V2. then a nice set of planet waves locking tuners. These things cut the string ends and everything. Too bad a set of seven tuners was not available but planet waves customer service helped me get the missing one. thanks...

    Second build, 7 string neck thru rhoads. lots of pics

    It was time to meet my nemesis - the router. I didn't know that this evil thing was plotting against me but I would soon find out. like a glove meanwhile the fretboard got shaped and I glued some pretty quilted maple bindings on it too. did I mention that the top would be kind of...

    My first build, Purple V.

    Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Next time I'll post the pictures as the build progresses. I'll be damned - it appears that I was so stoked about the guitar being finally playable that I didn't take detailed photos of the back... or at least I haven't put them online anywhere...

    My first build, Purple V.

    Hi there. I thought that my small project is ready for some sunlight now that I am less likely to accidentally try to polish it with 60 grit sandpaper or something. I hope that you like what you are seeing at the end of this post. I had been reading this luthiery section for few years and...

    Builders: where do you buy wood?

    I have to admit that I struggled with similar questions recently. I had doubts on the body wood quality as well as how to acquire decent top wood so I went with the not-the-cheapest option and ordered my alder body and flamed maple top from Finnish luthier. I chose Amfisound so that I could...

    The Ibanez J. Custom, LACS and Prestige thread

    Yeah, it is hard not to love it. Photos taken in the sunlight look even better imho. The way it sounds and plays is also incredible.

    Help me Mod my 7 string Xiphos - Part 1: the Headstock

    I'd leave it as it is but I have this feeling that you are not really considering that option. I'm not saying this because I'm afraid that You'd ruin that headstock but I just feel that reverse Ibby is one of the coolest headstocks on the market.

    Well, with that kind of a deal I would have bought one blindly too. I'm just wondering whether the agile reputation is related to what they cost or will they even be match for some well known high end products. I'll be at the edge of my seat waiting for pics as You will soon find out what those...

    aargh you are killing me - if that would have been a LACS ibanez you ordered then I would have probably died of envy at this very place. Agiles seem to be one of the few reasonably priced guitars that I've seen that have the specs I want like reverse headstock, floating trem, 24 frets...

    Greets from Finland

    Hi there, I'm from Finland and I've been playing guitar for 14 years and still counting. Progressive oriented rock/metal has been my thing for quite a long time and I just realized that I haven't touched my six stringer for a year or so. I got two Ibanez sevens, RG2027xvv and RG1527rb and...
