    Why not metal nuts instead of zero frets?

    I personally love a brass nut and run them on all of my guitars. They are a bit more of a pain to cut though. With proper buffing they won't snag strings, but a little fingerboard oil in the slots can really help smooth out the string pull.

    7 string BM

    Nice work man, really like the finish. Are you using a spray or wipe on acrylic?

    Multiscale Adventures

    I would say 25.5" to 27" fan is the most commonly seen for 7 and 8 string guitars really. I personally think 27" is the shortest an 8 string should be made, anything less and the low end string tension just doesn't feel good to play. As for 6 strings, I have never played a fanned 6.

    Great work so far man. That fret work is simply amazing.

    Help achieving this finish?

    That Raptor was likely hit heavy with black and sanded back, then hit with the grey/blue color before a final light sand back.

    Kiesel/Carvin factory tour video (Gear Gods)

    I really dig their guitars, but I agree they could have left out the small build/hand built bashing. Reminds me of the Budweiser commercial bashing all the craft beer brewers, just poor taste as a company message.

    Harbor Freight tools for guitar work?

    Ive been using the same clamps from HF that I bought around 6 years ago without issue. Doesn't seem to be any difference in the HF clamps and some of the nicer clamps I've bought from Woodcraft really. I usually just stick with basic hand tools when it comes to HF.

    New build: 7 string custom shape.

    I always use 18" truss rods and mine are always a couple inches away from the bolt area, so you may want to double check your measurements. Looking like good clean work though man.

    Jol Dantzig's advice for people looking to build guitars for a living

    It seems to me that if you can manage to keep the build time at 45 hrs or less per instrument, then you can sell a guitar at a decent price and survive comfortable enough as a small time builder. Keeping labor around $1000 and simply adding the total wood and hardware/pickup cost. Obviously...

    Body wood that matches well with maple neck and maple board?

    Where did you guys hear that maple and mahogany don't like each other? That combo is as classic as peanut butter and jelly lol. I personally like black limba and walnut with maple myself.

    Renk Build: Second Siren

    I wasn't thinking the black would look too good with the brown of the body wood, but that turned out great man. Nice work all around.

    What's on your workbench?

    Is that the kind of wood you kind find locally Pondman? If so, I am truly envious.

    Is acacia still around?

    I think it could be worth it if OP has the money to give it a try. Never know, dude could have learned how to build a proper guitar by now and he gets a steal. If any of you guys have tried building at home, you know what a year or two of practice can do for your building skills. None of that...
