2 Mayones(ish) builds

Nice job on the necks! Love the headstock design.
I'll be following this..

 

[Musza]

so good!

great job by far man, I keep my thumbs for those

 

[TheFashel12]

Looking great so far , but I think you should try the headstock in reverse .

hey Koen,

how did you draw the hipshot bridge?
or did you use a pre drawn something?
i am designing a super strat myself at the moment, and i too want to use a hipshot.

do you have a guitar builders tool pallet or something?

nice project!
i cant wait to start my first project!!

yeah I did draw it myself in autoCAD, it was a real pain in the ass tho...
ik got the measurements from:
STEWMAC.COM : Specification drawings for Hipshot Hardtail Bridge

Thanks! A strat with a hipshot is very nice!

haha i know!
AutoCAD is not the easiest program to use!
good thing the collegue next to me at work does it for a living.
so he helps me now and then!

i am designing a superstrat like an ibanez RG or ESP MII. i found the designs for a Schaller hannes bridge. maybe i'll use that one for this design.

how did you design the neck?
i'm realy struggling with the neck profile and the volute...

Well most of my guitars are Ibanez's so my neck profile will be similar to those.
The volute isn't that difficult, and a great luthier once told me it really has a practical reason: to give the neck some extra strength at the weakest point. So I always keep that in mind when I design the neck..

And I'll be definitely using the Schaller Hannes bridge in the future!!

 

[Peffel84]

Are you designing in 3D?

 

[quoenusz]

So I've been kinda busy lately, here some pics for you guys!

Cheers,

Nice stuff, how many guitars have you built before?
Everything looks so clean

This is really good stuff

 

[Randyrhoads123]

Looking really sharp. Can't wait to see how these look finished!

Thanks a lot you guys!

I've build two guitars before these two, so I have a little experience.

Another update:

I've been busy with the neck lately.

Next up:
- Rout the neck cavity.
- Fit the neck.
- Rout the binding channels and glue the binding.
- Make the neck profile.
- Create the curves in the back of the body.


See ya!
