Home built guitar number 2, a bit of progress

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Stinnett sounds fine for a guitar brand! Try using Mattheiszen as a brand name "Dude, have you tried that new Mac... Maft... Matsh... Mmakh... Mache... The new Mmm... Uh... Aww fuck it."

 

[Chryst Krispies]

My last name is Stinnett, so I may end up calling these "Stinnett Guitars" and simply numbering them sequentially. So if you have one - you just have Stinnett #5, or Stinnett #27, etc.
I'm convinced that any name I come up with, some people will think it's silly or pretentious. I guess I want to steer clear of that.

Also, every cool name I've thought of seems to be already taken by somebody else's guitar.....

I think Stinnett is a good name, it's very luthier sounding anyway to me haha. It also sounds pretty professional.

both choices show that your priority is on the instrument, which is what a guitarist should ask for.
"Stinnett Guitars" also sounds good to me.

can i order a certain number?

 

[cobhc]

Can I have Stinnett Lucky Number 13?

Damn Will that looks pist off! love the headstock and choices of wood

I vote for the name being Stinnett Guitars and having each one simply numbered. Pretty unique, and I agree that Stinnett Guitars sounds just as professional as Gibson or Paul Reed Smith or Mayones...all great luthiers, all sound professional, it's just their names. And, despite Gibby's lack of QC in the past decade (at least it seems so!), all of those companies produce guitars that are beautiful/extraordinary in many ways other than just their finishes.

i was gonna try to make some type of alcoholic DRANK named that, but u can use it for this guitar if you want.

May I just say, sir, you crack me up like nothing else.

That is all.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, and I'm pretty well settled on the sequential numbering.

 

[STINNETT]

I settled on Sperzel locking tuners and Seymour Duncan "Jazz" in the neck and a "Custom Custom" in the bridge.

Should have finished pics up before too long.

let`s just enjoy Will`s guitar.....

curious how it sounds btw.

 

[STINNETT]

Put the first coat of oil on today.

By the time I'm done with the finishing, my pickups should be here and I can wire this thing up.

 

[cobhc]

Still not sure about the exposed stripe where the neck is, would love that with a Zebrawood top though.

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

I have always been a "my axe can be of any color as long as it's black"-guy, but this thing is fucking beautiful and now I want one

That's actually the part I like the best about it.

The zebrawood board I bought was much too narrow to do a full top.
I originally bought this wood with the intentions of building a bass, so it was destined to be an exposed neckthru.

^%$#@, i cant wait to have you build one...
