    Guitars Built With Unconventional Materials

    This was a build from Nightingale guitars in Australia... Kind of stretching the point of OPs thread here but definitely different. It was a number of years ago and I never saw the completed build on his FB page so not sure if it ever got finished And another build

    What is your 6 string guitar of Choice for Drop C tuning?

    RGA121 CDR with BKP Ragnaroks and upgraded locking tuners with pearloid buttons... I have fancier guitars but it feels like home and probably reach for it more than any other

    NGD Ernie Ball Music Man JP XI

    I bought it second hand with fret sprout... got it on a great deal, and the finish covers it so there's no sharp edges, just small bumps you can feel

    NGD Ernie Ball Music Man JP XI

    I have a JPXI but found the tone on it really muddy when I got it... I ended up swapping the bridge for a Juggernaut which helped fix it up. I've had crunchlab in other guitars which was weird that I didn't like it. The neck and playability on it is great though The only QC issue I had was...
