Hufschmid 7 Custom

[Felsstein]

Hey guys,

(first post )
Two days ago I`ve met Patrick (Hufschmid) and his fine, little workshop near Montreux to discuss some features of the guitar I`ve just ordered. I saw some of his non-programmable-handdrills , lot of tools, his workbench and a pile of mahogany rests from other guitarprojects. All I can say is that he`s a well experienced artist in guitarbuilding with a good ear to his customers and he`s really honest.

My new 7 will be all mahogany (some nice flamed mahogany) with a red bloodwood FB, custom Kent Armstrong pickups (to my specs), superstrat shape, with my own headstock design, 27" scale, all black hardware, in black distressed oil finish.

some pics of the mahogany blank I`ve chosen and the headstock layout:

Cant wait to put my hands on it, but have to wait 2 or 3 months.. hope that time flows very fast...

 

[Esp Griffyn]

Awesome, look forward to seeing it when its done

 

[MF_Kitten]

ah, so that´s where that headstock will be going!

this is going to be awesome, dude! we´re all very familiar with hufschmid over here, and we all love him dearly

you should look forward to awesome little tweaks and stuff that´ll end up on your guitar, he has a way of coming up with awesome little ideas while he´s working on stuff

 

[Felsstein]

I know... he`s really inovative. During the 3 hours of discussion he mentioned some new stuff he is trying to realize. I think there is no barrier for him, but thats good.. and there are allready some small details that are influenced from him

 

[Cheesebuiscut]
