Jester Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 "DRIFTER" Hello all! Haven't been very active in the forum past few years, but I've been building guitars on a steady basis. Here's my latest creation for a friend at work. A 6 string PRS (again...) style carved top electric with a jazzy vibe. Specs: Body: PRS DC style hand carved Arctic Flamed Birch top with mahogany wings. Body depth at bridge 55mm and at the edge 38mm. Stained to a smoky/foggy/misty grayish blue color with faux binding. Neck: 7 piece masur birch/wenge neckthrough. Matching masur birch veneers on both sides of the headstock and in the tailpiece. Ebony truss rod cover with a pearl inlay of my newly designed logo (yay!). 22 fret 25" masur birch fretboard with brass side dots. Dyed beech veneer between the neck and fretboard. Finish: Nitro on top, sides, back, fretboard and headstock face. Danish oil on back and sides of headstock, neck, truss rod cover and tailpiece. Hardware: Hand carved ebony/ masur birch tailpiece with a wooden hinge. Tailpiece design shamelessly "borrowed" from Myka... (sorry David!! I promise this is the first and last one) Sperzel locking tuners. TOM bridge. Dunlop straplocks. Chrome/brass fittings. Bone saddle. Electronics: Very basic setup. Seymour Duncan '59 set. One volume, one tone, 3-way switch. More pics: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 The "customer" plays in a group called 'Foiled'. Their style of music is similar to U2, Coldplay, Snowpatrol and such. He wanted to have "infinite sustain no matter what in a PRS DC style without being too jangly and twangy (i.e. single coil strat)." So that's what I set out to design and build and this is the result. So... what does it sound like then? It sounds great! Nice and tight without too much bass. A tad on the warmer side of things, nicely balanced volume and tone on all strings. Sustain met his expectations and then some! It's pretty loud even when unplugged which was surprising considering the weight... Yeah, it weighs a TON, (havent weighed) but he wanted sustain above everything else. I'd say a little heavier than a standard LP. It's nice to see that my skills are evolving as I build (my opinion). With every instrument I've noticed improvements here and there on the quality of fit, finish and workflow. Hardest build I've done to date and also the most satisfying! Don't have any 'In Progress' pics, but when in doubt, ask away. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
