sounds better than my other guitars, the clean tone is like a piezo, and the distorted ones sounds like a mix between messhugga and fear factory when is tune to A.
I have problems shooting the video, because the camera can`t handle the lowers sounds, so I got to use mics and the PC, and don`t have to much time, the work...
thanks for the comment ralphy :yesway:

ok, it will be a fanned 8 strings with the same design that this guitar, but reversed headstock and 26-28 scale, perpendicular fret @5th, 5 string bass pick up in bridge position, DIY bridge of course, same woods, except the fretboard...I had no more of that, damn.

just an idea...a little piece of what I got now in my head, or something like this...
6 string bass, singlecut -still workin on the shape, and is experimental, I think is not balanced and not ergonomic.

just projects, just projects...I need tools, time and money...and inspiration.

the original draw was nice, but the paint version...
I was thinkin all day in 8 fanned 26-28---don`t know, I`ve never play a fanned and I want to know how it feels, and would be a nice experiment, and the only fanned guitar in my retarded country full of guys who thinks that the only good functional design is the les paul, and I`m in 3rd world, so, the epiphone les paul is the best guitar in the world. *facepalm*

You're not the only one who feels this way! Where I live, people only give a crap about Gibsons and Fenders. It really sucks! But it makes us unique at the same time, because we are more open to fresher guitar designs and innovations.

Anyway, congratulations on your build. You have a lovely guitar and a lovely girlfriend, and I wish you all the best with your next build!

well, playing a fanned guitar isn't that much a problem as long as you keep the fan reasonable.

My 7 is 25" to 27" and i did not feel any problem with it (with the broken neck!!). i am getting the neck back this week or next week, so i will update you on that one.

What i found is that as you play towards the pickups, the fan helps you with the wrist angle (eg a Am barre on 12th fret is a lot easier on my fanned than on my Vai).

i am looking at getting a 8 string fretted too, and i think the feeling will be the same.

lol, I did not remember exactly what I use, but includes: pcb boards acid, for electronic uses, some black creme for leather shoes, uncoloured wax, wd 40, tung oil, and somethin else I found over there, :rofl:

about fanned...is reasonable to put the perpendicular fret @5th?
