Is this guitar spoken for already?

Not yet. Just hanging out in the closet giving the lacquer a couple weeks to cure up.

Subscribing to this thread then. Really interested to see how that guitar comes together, i.e. I may wanna snag it if/when it's for sale.

I'd love to come out and check out that single cut when you have it done if possible. Let me know!

The single cut has about one more week of curing before buffing and polishing and final setup. I'll let you know when it's done. I'd love to have you check it out.

Finished up the 8-string this weekend. Just got a chance to snap some pictures.

Quick question... Why is one of the pups angled slightly more than the other? Just a style choice?

The carving on that top is cool as hell.

Just following the fan with the pickup angle.

Forgive me if this is silly, but is there no maker's mark or logo on this thing? Also, that's an intense fan. It looks absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic work.

Still working on the marking issue...


Yeah, it's a 3" fan. I wanted to go pretty extreme on the prototype just to kind of feel the whole multi-scale thing out a bit. To be completely honest, though, the 3" fan feels perfectly natural. Not awkward at all. In fact, I'm thinking about building myself a guitar eventually with seven strings and a 3.5" fan with the 7th fret straight.

Started Double II build #4 earlier this week. Here are some specs/progress pics:

6 string
24 fret Brazilian ebony finger board
Bolt-on 5pc neck (mahogany and Honduras rosewood), with scarf joint
2-way truss rod
Swamp ash body with Brazilian ebony cap (with matching headstock cap)
White body/neck/headstock binding
Hipshot hardtail bridge
Gotoh 510 tuning machines
Bare Knuckle Painkiller pickups
Oil/wax finish

That's a BRUTAL neck glue jig. You at the very least know your necks will go nowhere anytime fast

Looks and sounds awesome, can't wait to see some progress on it.

How much would specs like that cost?

No one likes visible glue lines... and when they're on a structural part of the guitar they're down right unacceptable.

Some more progress on the DII #4 from last week/this weekend:

 

[Hourglass1117]

Will this one be for sale too?

 

[explosivo]

No, this one's a custom order.

Hey, I'm the same guy that asked on Facebook. Hah.
Well, rock on man. These guitars are looking sllllicckkkkk

 

[OrsusMetal]

This build is for my buddy, Gabe! It looks great! Hopefully I will get a chance to play it sometime.

 

[TemjinStrife]

Love everything but the headstock. Way too hooky and aggressive for such a sleek, classy body.
