Emdprodukt's Stinnett guitar

[STINNETT]

I'm going to be rocking and rolling on this one over the coming weeks.

This is going to be a neck thru custom body shape, single EMG 81 w/18V, Hipshot Hardtail, with a custom SPACE INVADERS inlay and some old school arcade style killswitch action.

Here's a pic showing the body shape (a template), which is a custom shape just for Olli, a little more traditional superstrat than my standard shape.

Also behind it is the neck blank, in this case 5 pieces:
hard maple / wenge / curly maple / wenge / hard maple

And in the works right now is the inlay, when it's finished it should look a lot like this 3D model that I created as a design, but with white binding:

More pics soon.

 

[P-E]

Awesome. Love the inlays.

Being more of a traditional superstrat guy, I love this body template too.

haha, sounds like it's really going to look a killer guitar.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Waaahhhh this is so fucking awesome! I´m glad for Olli

You must be banned! Everytime I open your threads I'll suffer from GAS attacks ...

SPACE INVADERS is a great idea, can't wait for the final result. Emd, you are lucky!

Is it your hobby or job?
How long does it take you manufacturing one guitar?
How did you learnt?

Agreed. All those in favour, we must see off stinnett before he costs us all thousands

 

[Nebulous]

...or place orders before his guitars cost thousands more

 

[Jevil]

This is all I can afford now

It's not my job, I have a full time day job, which is often much more than full time - so sometimes my time for guitars is limited.

I've been a bit overwhelmed with the workload for the past several months, but I'm starting to settle into a better system and my shop is outfitted much better now. If I have no waiting list, a 10 week turnaround is pretty realistic. Right now I have a pretty good waiting list so more like 6 months.

I taught myself about building. I've been assembling guitars from parts and tinkering with them for 10-12 years, doing set-ups, etc. I started building in 2003, but didn't really dive into it whole-heartedly until 2008 when I turned my garage into a workshop and decided to get serious.
I have a background in design and engineering, so a lot of things about building came naturally to me.

 

[STINNETT]

The invaders are coming!

 

[jet_dry]

Best. Inlays. Ever. I really enjoy watching these awesome guitars come along!

 

[El_Gato]

killer, someday I'll try to build my own snare and modify it till it sounds exactly as I want.

In fact I started playing drums with self made parts. I even made my own kick pedal!! I think of this now and I can't remember how I managed to but it worked actually, wish I had pics but it was more than 20 years ago

 

[STINNETT]

And the killswitch, haha!

 

[Chris_P_Critter]

Dude - where did you learn how to do this - you have serious skill man - everything I've seen you do is beautiful.

Oh, and the invader inlays = pure win, because it's so original.

 

[Emdprodukt]

Will... this is so fucking amazing.

 

[kaomao]

oh god I love the retrogaming vibe, this is killer Stinnett.
