    Dima Ghotic. Russia. Custombuild/

    Part of me wants to believe this guy is a massive troll and will build a stunning guitar with that wood he has shown us, but another part of me wants to believe this is exactly what it seems to be

    Glow in the Dark 7 string Baritone Iceman style (UK student built)

    Sick guitar. Could you explain how to do glow in the dark part? I have been thinking about that too, I have some glow in the dark powder but I'm not sure what to mix it with and how to do the pore filling.

    Dreaming...

    A gummi bear holder route in the top-side of the guitar body. I have prototyped it but I can't find a way to make it large enough not to struggle with my fingers taking the candies out. I burnt the guitar body with the failed experiment out of pure rage.

    Trying to build DIY from practically nothing

    I assume you're going to build a fretless acoustic instrument then. No idea, good luck, post pictures please. It seems interesting Google for cigarbox guitars. Some people have come to interesting solutions

    The Time Has Come (I Want to Build a Bass!)

    I'd suggest MDF over plywood. Plywood tends to be a bitch, it chips like crazy. I can't deal with plywood at all, it makes me mad. I honestly wish I was as good as Purelojik with it. BTW Follow his blog, he has many interesting tips.

    Wanted : actual science in the "wood affects tone" debate

    What exactly did you want to prove? You're comparing 2 completely different guitars, you can't call that scientific... That could only prove it's not just that pickup that shapes the tone. However there are many things that could even invalidate that conclusion, for example: the distance from...

    The Time Has Come (I Want to Build a Bass!)

    Dude! It'll be fun to build an instrument, but beware: it also is highly addictive! Listen to me though. Don't invest in all those machines you need up front, if you plan to build more than 1 instrument, buy a good machine at a time and make a professional do what you can not do without the...

    Wanted : actual science in the "wood affects tone" debate

    The problem with your test is that those 2 are completely different guitars. Both of them sound great though. What bothers me is that I've never heard anyone daring to say "Your custom guitar sounds bad, it must be that thick macassar ebony top". But this is for another thread...

    Neck thru walnut with mahogany wings?

    Nope I'm not missing it, I'm aware of physics, thanks. It is just impossible to predict how a piece of wood would sound compared to another so I'd suggest people just to give up and think about something actually more relevant in their lives. And by the way, I built a 4 string mahogany neck...

    Neck thru walnut with mahogany wings?

    Why are you encouraging the OP to think about things that aren't relevant? You're also potentially making the OP spend more money on a specific wood selection that might not even reflect what matters most: the aesthetic look of the guitar itself. We believe it's better to choose a guitar based...

    Neck thru walnut with mahogany wings?

    That is my point! No one knows. We hardly know if it makes any difference at all. Few have tried to prove wood makes a difference, few have tried to prove it doesn't. No one used proper scientific methods. Now, how can we tell what you'd get with one kind of wood compared to another? There is no...

    Neck thru walnut with mahogany wings?

    When will people stop asking these questions? And when will people stop smoking when trying out a guitar? I'm sure most of the crap we read on this forum is caused by weed. It must be. There is no other way. Have you ever really tried a guitar made exactly the same way, same luthier, same...
