Almost finished the building of a new guitar

[Saiyaman]

Well, as I stated before, I am working as a professional luthier and as such I make my own guitars.

This latest one is actually one of two matching bodies I made from solid mahogany in the shape of the Kurt Cobain designed Fender Jag-Stang

Cobain playing his Jag-Stang prototype during the later dates of the "In Utero" tour.

I had a stroke of bad luck when it came to one of the necks I had been making. The youngest son of my boss saw the Birdseye maple I had prepared for use as a Fingerboard and actually sawed off a piece from what would have been the second fret.

But after I measured the whole thing up I found out that I could still make it work.

There you go, ten layers of Tung-oil give this guitar an Au-natural look.

A strat pickup at the neck and a Duncan Hotrails at the bridge, three way switch, master volume and phase switch, although that one hasn't been hooked up yet, and I'm also contemplating to give this one a Master tone.

A closeup of the headstock, if you look closely, you'll see the patch of maple I used to cover up the saw marks that my boss' son made.

And the recessed flush bolt mounts, they keep the whole thing smooth and sturdy.

It sounds really twangy and plucky.

Wow! Nice looking guitar, Saiyaman. I can hardly see the maple patch, very professional work. How did the mahogany take the tung-oil? With those pickups you should get quite a range of tones. Is it heavy? Is it plucky and twangy like a Telecaster?

I built an acoustic dobro from a kit about five years ago. It was a fun project.

You'll have to make some sample recordings and PM me a link. Nice work!

That is some fine craftsmanship there, and I applaud you for your efforts. It is definitely nicer than anything I have ever built.
