Here is my first post on ss, so I thought it would be appropriate to post one of the guitars I built. This one is a blackmachine inspired deal. I changed a few things from their design though. I used macassar ebony for the binding, changed the heastock design, bound the fingerboard and heastock with koa, used a laminated koa and wenge neck, and a tune o matic for the bridges with the strings ran through the body. The guitar pictured is one of two. I built them both at the same time. I regrettably gave one to my "buddy". If you would like to see the pictures in a larger format just click the pic and it will redirect you to a link with a larger format. Thanks for looking.

Nice work man. The flame maple on the back of the headstock is a really nice touch.

I did the 6 month program at Galloup School of Luthiery in Big Rapids, Michigan. It was a blast and I highly recommend it.

URL="http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/members/elray.html"]elray[/URL] for tagging the threads so they can be listed too
ALL: I know this is a bit off-topic, but I have fallen behind and missed quite a few recent ones. If you come across any member-built guitar threads without the "member built" tag, please add it. To do that:
  1. Go to the bottom of the page
  2. In the "Tags" section, on the far right, you'll see "Edit Tags"
  3. Click "Edit Tags"
  4. Start typing "member built" in the text box
  5. The tag "member built" will pop-up in the list
  6. Select "member built"
  7. Click "Save Changes"
