...HOW? I don't know how I missed this one. This is easily my favorite from you, Pond.

 

[shadowlife]

I think that might be my favorite pondman build as well. Just amazing on every level.

Since all my old build threads have lost their photos it seems like a good excuse to finally add my builds to this thread!

#2 (Ultralight Headless 6 String - Paulownia & Spanish Cedar - 1.3kg/2.86lbs!)

I really dig your builds, but if I didn't know better I would have never, ever guessed that last one is a Home Depot build. Pure testament to some killer skills there.

Thanks man! That one was the most complex build by far and I was really pleased with how it came out.

WUT?

#2 (Ultralight Headless 6 String - Paulownia & Spanish Cedar - 1.3kg/2.86lbs!)

I've got a thing for lightweight guitars. DAMN that's an accomplishment, dude.

Thanks! It would have been 150g lighter with Strandberg hardware but it was too expensive at the time.

It's mostly down to the light body wood (Paulownia at ~280Kg/m3 compared to basswood at ~415Kg/m3) with lots of chambering, a light pickup and a 6mm carbon fibre square tube as a non-adjustable truss rod. The neck is pretty light Spanish Cedar as well (409Kg/m3) and it's been surprisingly stable and while the relief is not adjustable, still perfectly playable.

Hey guys I know its been a while but i've still been building here and there. This past year i've moved to vegas and was hired for my second year in medical residency. Benefit of being here is i have access to a shop!!! so eventhough i have less time to make stuff, at least i have a place to make a mess.

Anyways i've wanted to build myself a 7 string and realized its already been about 5-6 years since my first ever build thread here where i build a seven string and so i decided to build one with all the knowledge i've acquired. that guitar i was just figuring out everything, learning how to work with wood and trying to not mess up. Here's my new build named Oenomaeus. Whole Build Story and more here!

Specs:
Espave 2 piece body
Macassar Ebony fretboard, bound with Macassar Ebony Binding
Plum Pudding figured genuine mahogany 1 piece neck
Multiscale config: 26.75 - 25, Daddario 10-59 Half Step down Standard
Custom Blackwater Guitar Co. Pickups Elder Gods
Two independent volume knobs, both push pull coil tapped
Hipshot Hardware, Locking tuners, fixed 21 Degree multiscale bridge
Jescar Frets, Black Tusq Nut, Bournes mini pots
Finished with Odies Oil, Wood Butter and Wax

Im stuck working in the ICU currently so I dont have as much time as i'd like to make sound clips like before but i've been doodling around on soundcloud. here's a clip :
