2 Mayones(ish) builds

[quoenusz]

So after a long time planning and drawing, I'm finally to begin the build of two Mayones Regius shaped guitars. The first one is going to be a clear finish with tru oil, the second one is going to have a pink burst. I hope to get the pink burst as flashy as Dylan from Daemoness does his, but I've never done it before so it's a nice challenge.

The drawing isn't exactly a regius as they have a flat top I believe. I will also keep my top flat and make the back at an angle.

I've always wondered what the baby of a Regius and a Setius would be. I will have to watch this thread closely.

I love your headstock design man

 

[quoenusz]

finally I could get some work done! had a bid of a busy weekend with other stuff going on. But today I did something in my own shed


checking the angle with a super serious face!

Looks nice!

Trussrods and Carbonfibre rods are done!

Tomorrow I'll be sending my fretboards to a luthier to CNC the frets, cause I want a 100% accuracy and the guy has a fair price!

cheers
