Custom 8 string all walnut

[myconfidenceinu]

I've already searched a lot about it, but I figured they said the locks behind the nut weren't very good, not the actual locking nut style? Can anyone clarify this?

updated pic of the guitar so far, still a lot of shaping, rounding etc to do. this is just to give a basic idea

Awesome, can't wait to see this finished. Looks very much like the custom I'm planning

the walnut looks sick

 

[phaeded0ut]

Very pretty thus far!

 

[myconfidenceinu]

update, still a while to go

 

[damigu]

that looks totally sick so far!!

EDIT: excellent choice with the BKP + q-tuner pairing. that's what i have and it gives such a huge range of tones from beautiful to downright nasty (the good kind of nasty, that is)!!

 

[myconfidenceinu]

Yeah I was hoping for a big range of tones, and I didn't want something overly powerful. I've gone out on a limb with the BK, having heard some demos on youtube, and by each pickups description. I know the Q Tuner will sound good though, having 1 in one of my 7 strings. The only disappointment with the Q Tuner pickup is the lack of single-coil switching. I'll still be able to split the BK, but wanted to have the neck pickup split too. Oh well

Solid walnut is going to be heavy as shit, i have an 1982 solid walnut 6 string strat (not a stratocastor ) and it weighs a good 10+ pounds

 

[myconfidenceinu]

I already have a solid walnut guitar and love it. Sitting or standing. Walnut varies in weight, and the piece this guitar is made out of isnt too bad.

Fuck, that thing is amazing.

 

[myconfidenceinu]

quite disappointed with the latest pics, dont do it justice. still some sanding to do then the multiple finishes will be applied - gloss the entire body, then rub down the neck so it has a matte/satin feel and look.

yummy!
