My Sabre Multiscale Ghost 7 Build!

[sabreguitars]

Just to clarify...

The rear cavity rout is far larger than normal because Shreyas is having a Graphtech Ghost Acoustiphonic system installed. This cavity has to fit 2 pots, a 3 way switch, 7 piezo output cables routed down from the ABM saddles, a summing board, a pre-amp and a battery...

Couldn't really get much smaller lol

Looks great so far!

Can't wait for the updates! Please incude the photos from the Ghost installation process. I always wanted to see how the piezo cables are routed, through the body, to the control cavity.

I'm digging that top wood. Friggin gorgeous O_O

 

[ShreddyESP]

Yeah dudes, the routing size is due to the extra electronics!

Also, small updates:

Sanded and oiled! Next step is the binding.

Another update from the Sabre camp. I'm LOVING the way this is turning out.

I wanted curly-maple binding for the body. I had no idea it would turn out this good!

Some more shots from the binding process. Chris is doing some exquisite work here! So glad to have gone with the curly maple binding. I'm loving the way it's turning out.

That binding is tight! I love the little wenge strip up the body.

That was Chris' idea. I love it too. It's a very thin strip, but it adds so much to the top!

Love it

Me too! Cocobolo is win.


Also, small update from Sabre Guitars:
The body is complete! Chris has been working very hard to have this ready by the time I get to the UK. I can't thank him enough! Anyway, here it is:

That forearm contour is so cool! There's nothing I love more than body wood showing through the top at the forearm area.

I love the design as well! Glad you like it dude.


Here's an update:

The inlay is done! And i love everything about it. I wanted a representation of the Fibonacci Golden Spiral/Ratio. And what better way to implement this than the Nautilus shell? So i sent Chris a couple of images and he quickly came up with this sketch, which i totally fell in love with. And it turned out much better than i'd hoped. The inlay is a combination with Ebony for the darker areas.

Design:

Set in:

Sanded down and finished:

Cheers!

Insane! I mean, I can appreciate a guy that does a fancy inlay by hand, but what you can do with a CNC router is just phenomenal!

 

[Konfyouzd]

That's one of the coolest inlays I've seen...

 

[bob123]

Holy shit man, thats BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! That inlay is one of the coolest and best I've ever seen mate, nice taste in everything as well!

 

[BlackMastodon]

Uber classy inlay! The mockup looked a bit odd but with the MOP along with the ebony it looks amazing.

Thanks bob! I'm glad you're a fan of the specs. I wasn't sure if people would like it, but i sure do!

Yeah, Chris told me that it would be a combination of pearl and ebony when he sent me that mockup but i didn't expect something this good!

 

[bob123]

Who cares if people dont like it! Its your custom guitar, as long as you love it, everyone else can eat a bag of dicks as far as this is concerned haha.

That said, its a very classy combo man. Some gold hardware and you're just ... all set!



edit: If you put chrome on here... this is my response.

I had no idea how you'd top that Daemoness with your next Guitar purchase. But HOTDAAYMMM! That's the best guitar I've ever seen. That contour, that inlay, the wood choices. Congrats, man! Can't wait to see the finished product.
