I have built... several seven string guitars, several six string guitars, one or two basses, and a lot of acoustic guitars. For my next few builds, I am going to be making some 8 string guitars.

Time for another update!!
Fretboards have been prepped for fretting and 2 of the necks have been set to the bodies. Also, neck heels have been carved and boards have been fretted!!
Start of the heel carve.
If weather down here turns better, I think these will be in the spray booth by middle to end of February.

Got all the necks epoxied in and started to place the bridges as well as do some dying!! Hipshot Bridges are so easy and nice to use. If anyone has not seen their custom shop fanned fret bridge on one of the new rusty cooley models, they should check it out. Anyway, here are some pics.

Got the neck on the black flamed maple stained. I think it fits the body color well. And these 3 7-string guitars are ready for the spray booth!!

I am going to sell these when they are done. I'm thinking about putting them in the market place.
Well, I finally got a good stretch of weather this coming week and I was able to get into the spray booth. I'm doing a water based lacquer on these 3 guitars. Vinyl sealer coats, pour filler then lacquer.

So you decided against green for the katalox fretted one? While green would be an kinky move, I think that reddish amber you got going will look awesome with the katalox. Nice work man!

I thought the green would go well with the black limba at first but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Anyway, these guitars are starting the curing process today for about a week or two.
