My DIY 8-string

[Snorelax]

Nice work, its looking good. I can't wait to see it finished.

I play a 32" - 36" multi-scale 7-string and most strings are just long enough to fit my headless design.

Holy shit, thats long.

What do you tune that thing to?

I tune in all 4ths: G#1 C#2 F#2 B2 E3 A3 D4

The clarity from the low G# string was even better than I expected. Multi-scale designs are just fantastic for extended-range instruments.

Your guitar looks amazing!

Been a while since I posted any progress I'm still working on it. Fitted fibreoptics in the fretboard for the side position markers. Been working on the body now, almost done!

Progress is getting slower but I'm getting there..

Are the edges suppose to be that rough or are you smoothening them out later ?

 

[Chonker]

Still got loads of sanding to do to get it all smooth but I'm keen to get it strung up and check it's all okay first before putting all that time and effort in.

Hey there, Luke. This project looks really awesome, especially since it's almost entirely manual. Respect.

I just thought I'd bump this post and see how the dress rehearsal went. You about done, sir? Updates, please!
