Hi everyone!
This thread will be updated with progress photos (as well as completed guitars, of course), and will occasionally have some photos from some of my guitar building classes (you can read some reviews of the classes here and here). 2015 class dates are here
While you'll see mostly six string guitars, there are a couple of sevens in the build channel (as well as basses, but more on those later). I mostly build bolt on or set necks, but neck throughs happen as well. I'm also quite a fan of stainless steel frets and use them as my default install.
Three of my Raven models in process:
close up of one of the Ravens in the above pic (neckthru black limba, spalted maple top)
A couple of my Catfish models (which will be retired this year):
(Hard to tell in the pic, but the headstock has an ebony overlay)
One of my 624 models:
A 624T model:
Two of a batch of five guitars that I call the Elita. It's inspired by Lita Ford's Hamer Standard that she played in the Runaways, and I'm only planning on building five of them (one is unclaimed). The one on the left is black limba, the one on the right is spanish cedar (which is a wood that I really like using). You can see more of the construction of the black limba Elita here
One of my Galaxy V models; this one is kind of a "set through" construction; mahogany body, quilt maple top, 3pc maple neck, rosewood fretboard, hollow block inlays, rosewood headplate.
And finally, one of the prototypes of my singlecut model, the '71. This singlecut model was something I have been working on for years. I wanted to build my own singlecut styled guitar that addresses the issues that I have with the LP. Granted, they're fine guitars, but for some reason, I've never bonded with the ones that I've owned. This is proto #2; I'm about to start on #4, which will have a floyd on it, and a fully carved top version will be in progress very soon. I plan on a few small batch runs of this model, but more on that later.
I'll go more into detail about each model and kinda where I'm coming from as a builder, but this oughta do for now!
