I watched your thread from the very beginning and you came up with an awesome guitar! Gongrats! You got my GOTM vote for sure! Are you gonna post a video for us to see? BTW, id tap her

 

[Customisbetter]

Totally nominating for GOTM for May when i see the thread!

Great job duder!

Good luck acquiring the hardware you need for audio/video clips, we'll be waiting.

MaKo´s Tethan,

Do the wood pickup covers effect the tone in any discernible way?

 

[liamh]

That looks sick.
I love the weathered look on the wood on the back.

Mako.. I F@*$®þ! salute you for this build! It's totally awesome
Seing it finished, let me add that the oil treatment you initially weren't so happy with simply resulted in such an Übercool raw look.

My only critics will be a very few minor details on the sanding/rounding finish, and that you I think should recess the through-strings backplate + maybe obtain some better looking screws; things which can be easily done as post-finishing touches.
I so wish you'd had a real fretsaw/files kit, but everything takes time..

Having been a photographer, I'll have to comment your artistic skills as really great.
Just your audassity to augment the axe agains a holy relic.. awesome contrast..
Now build a great axe to your lovely girlfriend - and design a Mako T-shirt for her

Why did you not enter the home depot competition? You would have blown it away completely.

 

[CloudAC]

That looks awesome however I would lose the wood pickup covers but thats me.

Congrats!

 

[Rommel]

[ZXIIIT]

Awesome guitar!

I would be horrified to balance my guitar on some rocky cliffs

MaKo´s Tethan,

Do the wood pickup covers effect the tone in any discernible way?

No, they do not affect the magnet field, but the pick ups are pushin up to the cover, so the contact with the vibrations of the body is increased, but I don`t know if this affects something

Awesome guitar!

Me too but its worth
thanks for the comment, I respect you a lot here.

Congrats!

the reason was simple, I have not a router, so the p`ups routes are really horrible, so I have not other option....

I accept your critics...I have seen this details too, I plan to recess the back plate and cover it with...more wood. and the screws...I need to find some nice allen ones.
the photos are half mine, half my girlfriend, she got good ideas too, and cool designs, but she want a single cut with a lot of wird details, including a piezo bridge, so I need more tools...
Holy relic??hell yea, but with respect...just want to take impressive pics.
Mako t shirt ftw, good idea.


thanks everyone for the comments,

 

[jymellis]

[jymellis]

[MaKo´s Tethan]
