NGD PRS type baritone 8 build

[superstarssjc]

Hello all,

This is my new 8 string.I finished it yesterday. I wanted to build a 8 string baritone PRS type guitar. I build it 100%...It took me a while, fitting it in when life permitted.

body is: AAAA flamed maple top with alder body
neck is: 9pc wenge,purpleheart,maple w/ a pau ferro fretboard and flamed maple headstock veneer. and flamed maple truss rod cover(same as body wood)

EMG808 pickup, sperzel locking tuners, hipshot bridge, graphtec nut.
I may add a second pickup eventually.

the 29inch scale took a bit of getting used to...but nothing that a few more days of playing will fix.

Let me know what you think...Im going to start another project very soon.

Very nice man! Love the purple heart!

 

[simonXsludge]

purpleheart is always a win...i'd prefer black hardware, i must admit. still, very good job!

Saw it on Facebook, didn't happen to comment the finished product yet so I will on here....Dat neck. Dat neck grrl. Damn.

Seriously, looks fucking great

That guitar is sexy as hell, you've done a great job! Is this your first build?

 

[Philligan]

That's gorgeous, man

If you ever feel like building another one, gimme a shout

 

[GeoMantic]

All it needs is a neck pickup

 

[Kr1zalid]

Great neck you have there...

 

[superstarssjc]

Yes it is my first build. I will be building more now that I have conquered the first build. I will put a second pickup in eventually. I am open to build for other people as well. Thanks for all the the nice comments!

Awesome work, looks really tidy

 

[TheSilentWater]

Holy crap, that's awesome. Nicely done, man.

Nice job, well done! The headstock looks just like a Framus. 29"...interesting scale, compared to the more common 28 or 30.

 

[superstarssjc]

Thanks man! the headstock is actually an enlarged version of the PRS santana headstock. Im glad i didnt go with 30 inch scale the 29 puts a great deal of tension on the higher strings.

[zappatton2]

Wow, you MADE that?! Looks flawless!! Simply amazing!

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Ooohh! That looks so noice! Great job! And, I agree with what others have said, the purpleheart wood in the neck makes it look especially killer! How does it sound?

...Im going to start another project very soon.

The whole thing is beautiful, and the neck is unreal! What ideas are you considering for the next build?

 

[WickedSymphony]

For a first build, that's one hell of a job. This thing is unbelievably gorgeous. Great job, man!
