Hi Guys,
this is a story that now continues over a year a so.
First I was searching for a custom-builder to fulfill my dream of something like an 8-String Steinberger workinghorse-thing. After asking a lot of luthiers and half a year i decided to take my chance at Mensinger Guitars (Maruszczyk...
Brief & Accurate Description ofguitar: 1989 - 1991 Charvel Charvette in snow white, HSS.This model is potentially MIJ, as it's an early serial, and matches specs of info I can find on the 270 model. The frets are in good condition, the fretwork is really quite excellent for a low budget guitar...
First off Credit to Strandberg Guitars for the body shape,it is used with permission from Ola (that guy is to cool) I was so blown away by the design of this guitar i just had to give building one a try!

Hey guys!
The cat's been sneaking out of the bag for a while now, but I figure it's high time I started this thread.
The XEN lineup currently consists of the DC/HDC and SC/HSC shapes, the SCA/SCN Acoustic/Electrics, and the collaboration model with XEN and OAF (seen here). There are a few...
Hey Sevenstringers,
This thread is now the one stop shop for all info regarding the autumn ss.org headless build and mockup contest. Speaking of which, we are offering participants the chance to win some free stuff during this exciting build.
Its easy to take part, just upload a...
Starting a new, clean thread for these. I did the math, and, to get the Vigier I'm after, I will need to come away with a minimum of $2,000 ($1,945 to be exact, but will need to cover tax and shipping on the new guitar) in my Paypal between both of these.
I want to emphasize, these prices are...
Here's my newest edition, the Carvin HH1. I could bore you to death, writing sentence after sentence about how awesome I think this guitar is (and you won't even read it). Instead, I'll let the pictures do the talking (but feel free to ask questions :)).
SPECS:

After investigating alittle I have found that the GT pro is actually quite cheap. I know that price isn't always directly related to quality, but when it's 399 I'm unsure. Add in the fact I am also looking at a Z-T3.
There is also NO way for me to be able to play either to decide. I checked...
Hello,
I checked out a GM4T today only to find that the previous owner had modified the body to fit new pickups in it. It's the red GM4T and I told the guy I would have to think about it because I'd have to scrap the body and replace it. I planned on refinishing the body anyways but this one...
Hi guys,a while ago I stumbled upon Strandberg Guitarwoks:
Strandberg Guitarworks
I was wondering if anyone here ever got to try one,and what's their opinion about it,they look amazing!,I wonder how they are playabillity and sound wise.

I'm abuot 20% of the way through this build and decided to do a thread on it...
i think i'm going insane.
The neck blank-maple and ebony
The Fingerboard-note the fanned frets marked out :agreed: rosewood wooo
This is where it gets crazy... the CNC routed aluminium body...
Dear all,
This guy has been around for a little bit of time and is DAMN talented. I've had a fretless 6-string of his with a sasafras body and claro walnut tops for a few years and have always been in love with this particular instrument. I know that going headless is not everyone's cup of...
Here's an article about an Ovation Breadwinner inspired ERG (It's 26″ to 24.75″ scale length, so it's baritone-ish scaled):
And two threads (Part 1 and Part 2)regarding a Klien-inspired multi-scale with an interesting DIY headless tuner. It's barely "baritone-ish scaled" (25.75" to...
Saul Koll has completed another RE-ish guitar:
It looks to be a headless, multi-scale, 8-string made for Elliott Sharp.. The Koll web site says it was just completed and more details will follow.

Now after this whole headstock argument in the kxk thread i was wondering, how does a headless guitar work when it comes to tension compared to a normal headstock.
I have played a bass that was headless and the upper frets had a lot of fretnoise, is...
