Anywhere but here.
Actually the button is off for a better balance - remember this is a 7 string baritone. Both buttons are of the same set and size.


So using the body to generate a bit more moment and therefore sitting the neck higher. Good thinking. Thanks Vik.

And again, all the greetings!
Today I have for you a very informative story!)
We are nearing the finish line!

The neck glued is perfectly!
No cracks, no holes, no words!) Just perfect!
And then the hard part - cutting the heal on that stone ash.
If after that someone will say that guitar building not art ... fuck up...

I've said it before, I'll say it again. People like Vik make guitar making an art. That is going to be a really beautiful guitar.

The body shape on this is probably my favourite of the superstrat style. Beautifully done as always. You, sir, are one lucky bloke.

Hello guys and girls! Ladies and gentlemens!
This evening will bring us closer to the final stage of this review!
A little sad that this process comes to an end, but on the other hand, I'll have a great guitar!
So, let's go


The neck is glued!
And our black / "white" lotus is ready to get acquainted with my fingers!
For this we will to pass through the small but very important stage!

Leveling, grind and give in order frets.

We cover our insanely beautiful neck with oil. Only oil and wax !!!!!!
Feelings can not be explained - an endless delight! I do not like lacquered neck!

This serial number I drew myself! This is a great honor for me!
I had a very long time the trembling in my hands!)

In a few days we sanded and buffed "the supposed to be high gloss" parts of the guitars.

Lovely build (as always from Vik). I really dig the copper'ish shine off those German hard allow frets.
@Vik: Do you use the type of German fretswire containing copper, silicium and oxygen?
I'm about to do a refret, and consider using those..
