with the help of my uncle i am building my first "all maple" experimental
guitar and i want to share the first results with you guys!
the guitar is almost finished, i just need to put everything together
and decide if i want an oil, shellac or all natural wood finish
(no finish at all, which will make the guitar turn rancid very
quick...well, it may look interesting
)
i didn't dare to build a neck for my first project so i just bought one!
there will be no pots, switches etc. on this one, just the humbucker
soldered directly to the jack...rock 'n roll baby!!!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
i fucked up the humbucker routing as i wanted an passive EMG in this one.
the EMG does not fit the regular humbucker dimensions so i had to re-route
everything, which is almost impossible if routing was done before.
now i have to make a custom pickup frame (out of maple of course!
)
to cover the oversized and fucked up routing.
the body is an one piece!
the wood is bosnian "mountain maple"
(i do not know the exact term for this)
all i know is, that this type of wood is very popular and very often used
for violins...![Loco :loco: :loco:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
