Lol. The drummer said it's because he wanted to see how well he could maintain the double bass and ended up doing the whole song with it.

That tele is gorgeous!
Thanks! Did I already say it's for sale?
-
Tone testing my latest guitar build.
Real drummer/drums. My own Mesa rev G rackmount Rectifier profile, red channel with diodes and Maxon OD9.
-
Couple new builds. The white V I made for myself. Tele is for sale, not really my style after all.
-
I'm an oldies guy. So TAL Dub-2 and Dreampoint Freeverb.
-
looks and sounds very nice
Thanks man!
It's a beaut, but why did you put the neck on upside down?
Forget that - my leftie joke just backfired. Beautiful build man!
Thanks! But it is upside down.
Initially I wanted to make it traditional looking, but the reverse headstock just looked so much better with the wood colors. -
This is what it originally looked like btw. Doesn't show in the pic but the finish was terrible, neck inlays ended up see-through, headstock curve was way too deep, the sound was thin and awful etcetc. So I wanted to make it better. Now I'm pretty happy with it!
-
Sounds great and that guitar OMG, that finish is beautiful.
Thanks! It's not mirror perfect, but I like it enough. I think I'll be using Britetone for topcoat in future builds as well. I'll just need to find a smoother way to apply it, maybe wet&dry sandpaper works the best. Even that kept leaving air bubbles in the finish that had to be sanded out, so mayble I'll just level sand after each 1-2 coats in the future. This time I level sanded after all the coats (12 of them!

Redid one of my earlier builds. Made a completely new neck from maple and spanish cedar, zebrano fretboard. Changed the color of the top from blue to red/orange.
25.5" scale, maple and spanish cedar neck, zebrano fretboard, medium jumbo frets.
Seymour Duncan Jazz/Custom set with coil split.
Ash body, flame maple top.
Schaller tuners, Gotoh 510UB wraparound bridge.Pics:

Thanks man!

Thanks! Never ice no, sometimes when I started playing ages ago I used to get wrist pains. But I think that was due to bad technique.
The wrist needs to be loose and relaxed all the time, never tense up.

Finally got around learning this song, it only took 16 years.
Took the guitar build #4 for a test drive. -
Oh, had not tried acetone for plastic bindings. Nice tip. Learned something new...again. At this rate I'll be pretty smart one of these years.
Just be warned not all plastic melts with acetone. But it's so much cleaner to use than glue.
-
That's a fabulous build, man! Nice work!
Thanks man! Not perfect, but getting better. This was my second build with binding and taught me better ways working those. Heatgun for spaghettifying, acetone for adhesion and card scrapers for cleanup worked so much better than using CA glue and a razor.

Man, I really like the look of body back.
Yeah ash has a nice open grain figure, I like how it looks with dye+oil finish. Went for a "logs from a pirate ship" or some other old worn piece of wood look with this one.
-
My fourth guitar build from scratch is done!
25.5" scale, ash body maple neck, flame maple top, ebony fretboard. EMG 85/60. Hand dyed, finished with oil.
Sound clip, had to do some 90's teenage nostalgia.

Atmospheric post-rock and black metal (in the same album)

My attempt at old school Sepultura'ish something.

I did some tone matched profiles ages ago. Basically your signal chain needs to go like this.
Record a DI of the song you want to match first. In Ozone create a match eq curve of the song (preferably isolated guitar part of course) and your amp-cab-mic setup.
Enable the match eq in DAW in Ozone.
Then Kemper profiling out to amp-cab-mic-DAW-Ozone eq-DAW out-Kemper.
