MaKo`s Tethan new build start, this time with no mistakes.

Truly inspiring thread, super cool attitude about it. \m/

And...there is a little update.
I made a bridge.
I can afford one, not expensive, but want to experiment with a mix between wood and steel (and brass screws!!) so I need special sizes...the base plate size is 72mm, just like the 7 sadless together, so I can put something around them like in a hipshot bridge...but I not made that yet...the work is consuming my time.

I found this in the back yard, is a spider`s house.

holes

That is incredibly clever and resourceful. Great work so far! I'm extremely impressed with what you're doing and the passion and commitment you've shown for this project, with so little in the way of tools, materials and resources!

 

[InCasinoOut]

Awesome dude! I'm glad you went with the idea i suggested because i'm really curious how that combination would turn out.

 

[MaKo´s Tethan]

Thanks Darren, I really appreciate your words. you are a big inspiration to me in designs so is very important to me that you take a minute to post in my thread.

And Mic: I don`t know how fuckin do that?!?!?! but I will when I get the sadless...I`m just waiting for divine inspiration now...and money, damn money.

This will be the most brootal guitar ever.

 

[MaKo´s Tethan]

well, the bridge I have build was shit, the holes where wrong (each 10mm, instead 11mm) so I buy sadless and made a new one.(a dollar per sadle)

same horrible piece of metal

cut

sizing

Looking absolutely fantastic - just be very careful regarding fret placement and crowning.

Mako - I know it's not much, but if you need pots and pickups, I'm swapping out my bridge pup this weekend and getting new pots. They're just DiMarzio New7's but...if you want them, I'd be willing to ship them for free to you.

You could always upgrade later, but for now you'd at least have pups and electronics to make it sing.

I really want to see this done!

And I'm VERY serious...if you want them, just PM me a mailing address and I'll get them out as soon as I possibly can!

 

[technomancer]

Wow that's some nice work, and smart sanding technique on the bridge \m/

 

[EliNoPants]

the awesome just continues, now you just need to fret that bitch up

I don't know what is happening with the Home Depot comp and I know this isn't a Home Depot build and it's out of the time frame and unfinished but I would support that you be eligible for the Pro vote (if they haven't already picked a winner). I think what you have done here is more deserving of the win than the actual entries.

Someone please send him some fret wire, I'd do it myself if my finances were not currently worse than his.

I was actually gonna see if I could get my hands on some to send with the pickups and electronics if he wants them.

All I need is an address No charge for shipping or any of it. I REALLY want to see him finish this.

EDIT: I found some Dunlop 6100 and 6000 sets...which I'm assuming would work nicely...for pretty cheap.

 

[ralphy1976]

Mako let me know what you need tuners / fret wire / or anything else, surely we can sort something out...here or pm is fine by me!!!
