Hey guys,

I put down a deposit on a 2nd guitar from Dylan right around the same time as ordering my 7-string. For those of you not familiar with the 7, here's a pic:

Anyway, this guitar is going to bear some similarities to make them look coherent as a duo, but it's also going to have a very different aesthetic.

Here's the spec:

-Dæmoness Cimmerian 6-string body. "Contemporary" top carve
-Swamp Ash body, 3-pc birdseye/flamed maple neck w/birdseye board
-5A flamed maple top, matching headstock overlay
-BRIGHT PINK stain (!!)
-decorative 12-th fret inlay design (secret for now)
-Black bound neck and h'stock
-Schaller Hannes bridge, Sperzel locking tuners
-Pickups to be decided


So, this thread won't be as picture intense as the build thread for the 7-string.

Here is the first batch of pics, as you can see, the build has already progressed quite far.

Finally, this always makes me chuckle when I see it:

Also a little thing worth mentioning is that this was comissioned before my endorsement with Bernie Rico Jr guitars. Bern knows what's going on and all is good :yesway:

Cheers dudes, it should be eye-catching to say the least :lol:

Customisbetter, EAGLE EYES! Yep, it's in for a setup.
Rashputin, indeed that's the bridge. Awesome piece of hardware. Mine will be straight up chrome or nickel though, not with gold screws.

Oh, and I also got a snap of jbcrazy's guitar, which is being built alongside. Not sure if I should post it, or let him have that right. It's pretty insane.

Post it Nolly. :) Haha. I don't think I have the resources for a guitar build thread. I live too far. The maple in this particular build is insane. Dylan really gets nice figured tonewoods... really impressed. We don't get a cool shot of the swamp ash back, but from the neck cavity, it looks ridiculous as well.

So the bright pink, are we thinking like a Peptol Bismol type pink?

Alrighty then, since JB has given the ok, here's his redwood-topped Cimmerian:

IMG_0027.jpg


Dylan's gone for a more classic PRS-style carve on that one, looks and feels very classy. I daresay the top looks even more fiery the Infernodroid


Also, here's a shot of the back, not sure how I missed adding it to the OP:

IMG_0019.jpg


The pink is going to be as obscenely lurid as can be. Dylan is going to be bleaching the top to give as white a base as possible for the stain. Looking forward to rocking it into college and turning heads :lol:

Thanks for the pick. Woohoo.. Looks insane.

Yes Dylan is really cool. I think between your carve, and how he asked me to give him my favorite carves, shows you how the guy really builds a guitar to YOUR tastes in every meaning of the word. I told him I like more PRS type carves and voila its done. I think we're going to do a slight black burst to a black back but I am not sure.

I hope these two get done nearly the same time. :)

^ Yeah, very much so.
The burst could be cool, but the back on yours is pretty cool too, I'll send you a pic.
And yeah, the two are being built together, though yours has been a little bit further along until today pretty much.

Dylan is going to get a LOT of business if you keep posting photos like that. :)
