7 string ibanez-like project

[SanekN]

I don't think I need it to be that exact. There are just a lot of little details on this one that I'd like to borrow. But thanks anyways, that's really extremely nice of you.

No problem man!

some new photos, lacquer, assembling, but so much fretwork to make... Not finished yet. Sorry for shitty quality, it's the night here and my hands aren't stables enough =D

Hmmm pics aren't working for me.

 

[SanekN]

Check it now, i changed them =)

Beautiful work man!

 

[Sepultorture]

dude, that is some sick work, i would have def been all over this guitar with black stain back in the day when i had both an ESP and an Ibanez

 

[SanekN]

thanx dudes! =) i just played the thing (not connected to the amplifier, just some simle accords). I have a feeling this will sound damn good. Some playing tame and the guitar have started to vibrate with notes, sweet, sustain increase and the acoustic volume too! Some hard playing for one month and this will be perfect.
Finally it wasn't that bad for the frets, I have just two dead spots in the end of fingerboard...
Some shitty spots in the lacquer to repare too

Damn i freaking wanna to leave this axe to myself lol

Man that looks very good! The whole natural looks is fantastic on this.

 

[Ruins]

absolutely awesome work! i dig the design and the simplicity.
i would love to hear some sound samples as soon as possible

 

[SanekN]

Thanx people, samples not yet, some finishing come before

This is turning out to be quite the awesome axe, man. One day I will attempt a build as ambitious as this. I absolutely love that lower horn scallop.

 

[Joe Harvatt]

Incredible looking guitar, man. You have an eye for detail; I love that the control cavity is circular and the rounded asymmetric neck join.

 

[JStraitiff]

Looks really good dude. Im planning on doing that exact same thing with the cut on the lower horn on the build im working on. Pretty much custom 24 inspired.

 

[Yaris]

That looks freakin' amazing, dude. I'd pay a lot of money for that.

 

[SanekN]

Thanx to you people! Maybe in near future I will make some of this for sale, not shure yet, but very probably!

 

[SanekN]

Hello guys! I have a fu..ing problem - truss rod broken when I was setting up the axe... But stucked just in right position so... I dont know what to do now. Anyway, made some fret leveling, but not enough, it still have a little buzz on 16-19 frets.

Made a little video for test

 

[Levi79]

That's really unfortunate dude. Are you sure it's busted? How do you know? You might just have to really wrench it or turn it the other way and turn it back again. It's a good idea to test your truss rod before putting it in your neck. I didn't with my first build and now I'm sketched out about it You can test it by putting the non adjustable end in a vice and turning the rod. If it works like it's supposed to then put it in! Definitely will be doing that on my next builds.

 

[SanekN]

Yeah sure man =) The head of the truss rod just went away when I turned it... But it was really tight. BTW! I just gave this to the guy. He was very pleased with the sound of the thing. Some photos :
