Official Bowes Guitars Thread - Works In Progress

[Sepultorture]

THAT, sir, is a sexy Multi laminate

gives me ideas

 

[yacker]

No, but ABM makes a baseplate that fits em.

Ahhh, Ok! Does that mean it will be a fixed bridge with Wilki saddles or a makeshift tremolo unit?

 

[Justin Bailey]

god, brian, I've always loved your choice of woods. Incredible.

fixed bridge with the wilkinson saddles...well graphtech piezo ones anyways.

Justin - There is definitely more comin down the pipe.

Thanks again for checkin it out guys

jesse - zebrawood fretboard. I've got a 5A birdseye board that i was considering but i wanted to use it in another build. This one *might* just get clearcoated, but I recently tried dying it green and clearcoating it with Darren tonight. Tough call.

You're in Toronto? Dude, pick a time and drop in.

I can't wait to hear what the walnut/zebra combo sounds like!

And yea, I used to live in Toronto but I've been here and there - just finished a guitar building course out of Lindsay through Lado guitars... maybe you've heard of it?

I'm just moving down to London actually but I'd love to come by your space sometime and see how it all goes down.

Definitely heard of Lado - haven't seen much of their work in some time. Again, drop in anytime dood!

Hey now, is this a thread about the Bowes 8 or Patrick Hufschmid?

Amazing laminates on that neck - is it going to be a bolt-on or a set-in?

 

[Customisbetter]

why are there 9 holes in the headstock?

 

[Guitar GeeK]

I tink u counted rong.

 

[Rick]

I tink u ned Engrish lessons.

(In real english, this says, "I think you need English lessons.)

And it looks like 9 holes to me as well.

 

[Isan]

you need an eye exam rick

 

[Rick]

I'm seeing 7 holes and 2 dots where holes would be.

 

[elq]

I see it too...

 

[canuck brian]

That big angry hole is where a worm had decided to make a huge space. I haven't fully thicknessed the headstock so the other tuner holes are very small. Just look at the front and it'll make sense. *s'plained up in a previous post

Jesse - all my guitars are set neck - bolt on actually takes more time and costs me more to do. Bolt on heels also make me cry.

And again, nothing to do at home, presents have been purchased. Went downstairs and did some more work on the batch.

I used a Microplane rasp do do this carve in 3 minutes. No dust at all either! check them out if you get a chance - they leave a very very smooth cut.

 

[canuck brian]

More work done!

volume - piezo switch - 3 way

 

[-K4G-]

Ohh myy goddd..

 

[Prydogga]

I love seeing the progress of your builds, I can't wait for the finished product!!!

 

[Internection]
