yeah, the main reason he switched to sipo is the stability of the wood. it´s really hard-ass wood that doesn´t take shit from anyone

There is a clear difference in figurine from what I see....

Well, as I said before, "almost identical". Obviously the grain structures are different, but the natural color isn't. In that regard they both look alike.

Looking nice!

Strings will be mounted tomorrow hopefully

^ as far as i know the reasons he has for using Sipo is that it soaks in his distress finish more than sapelle, making it look more organic and well..Raw and industrial? also that sipo is a bit lighter IIRC? rather than just being the price fact..? Please correct me if i'm wrong.

na man its much more simple then that, I only use mahogany, its all the same anyway and it makes my instrument sound muddy and warm

hahah!

"MAKE ME ONE WITH A SET NECK! EVERYONE KNOWS IT GIVES MORE SUSTAIN!?"

[hufschmid]

Still some polishing work to do on the nut and string retainer...

In less then 2 weeks guitar is at your front door!

mirror shine fret work and low action

Now the wiring work can begin

 

[MF_Kitten]

i always loved the knobs you use

this thing looks gorgeous! thin body FTW!

 

[Swarth]

fuck I love that guitar, and I haven't even touched it yet

Awesome work Patrick!

 

[hufschmid]

Thanks guys, I just wired it up and made the cover...

I'm exited to wire the pickups now

 

[Baco]

Haha, just wait until you have the chance to try 'er out. Better hide your wallet then

 

[hufschmid]

I cant help it but anytime I build an instrument I have to integrate ''a little something'' into the build which makes it that more unique, that's just the way I see things

Since your aspire to become a guitar maker, I decided to push a little bit the boundaries on the nut details by shaping it this way, pretty difficult job but the result is awesome...

Its still rough, I'm going to be polishing everything out next week on the the buffing wheel...

Enjoy

 

[Fred the Shred]

Actually, that nut looks fantastic like that. I just don't feel comfortable talking about Patrick's stylish nuts, however...

 

[MF_Kitten]

fuck, man! took me by surprise with that one! it´s AWESOME!

i can imagine it´ll look totally sweet when it´s buffed too!

 

[Swarth]

That looks wicked!

What material is being used for this nut, Patrick? I'm going to replace one on my SLSMG and I've been told bone is the best, what is your professional opinion on the matter.

 

[Apophis]

really interesting idea with that nut

 

[hufschmid]

What guage are you using for those 5 extra strings?

.500, .490, .470, .469.5558966

.469.5558966 has more bass response then the .469.5558962

bone is the best? WTF

On electric guitars you need a material which is self lubricated so that the strings dont get trapped in the grooves... bone is the worst material on the market if you enjoy tuning problems

Thats my own exclusive material, I call is Blackdroidslip...
