demonx Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 SEARLS - Ceylon Blue Quilt top SS6 21 Frets, 25.5" scale, 16" radius, 12 degree headstock angle Body: Maple, Mahogany, Alder with a quilted Maple top Neck: Mahogany, Rosewood, Ebony, Queensland Maple Fingerboard and Binding: Curly Maple Inlay: Paua Shell Hardware: - Grover Tuners - Floyd Rose Special tremolo - Schaller strap locks - Dunlop 6150 Fretwire - DR Strings Electronics: - Bareknuckle Nailbomb Calibrated set - Switchcraft output jack - CTS pots - 0.022uf CAP - N.O.S. Paper dipped in Oil Ex Russian Military! Paint: - Upol clear - PPG candy dies mixed to achieve a Ceylon Blue - PPG Deltron Black on the rear The concept for this build was to try make the guitar out of a pile of scraps, offcuts and unusable materials. The body is made from Offcuts (the bits to the side) of 3 other guitars - Maple, Mahogany and Alder. The quilt top was one of three sets I bought years ago and never used this one as in rough it looked like it wasn't good enough to use (turned out pretty good though!) The neck is all scrap pieces - the Rosewood and Ebony stripes are 2 fingerboards cut from necks that I messed up and cut the boards off for re-use. The mahogany strips either side are offcuts from another neck and as is the Qld maple stripe down the center. The headstock is offcut from the Quilt top. The Curly maple binding is two pieces I had that didn't match up with any others I had, so I couldnt use them on customers guitar. After paint they ended out they same color! Who'd have thought. The Curly fingerboard was one I purchased but it had a mark in the grain I deemed "B" grade, so I never used it until now. I tried hiding the most of this under the first dot inlay. The inlays are Paua shell dots I've had laying around and never used. The build thread: http://projectguitar...showtopic=46518 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shad peters Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Buckeye Carved top Vixen Top: 1 piece buckeye burl Back: two peice black walnut, chambered Neck: Curly claro walnut Binding: curly maple Fretboard: EIR Knobs & pup rings: EIR Logo: copper Inlays: abalone Nut: bone Bridge and tailpiece: antiqued bronze finish Tuners: Grover antiqued bronze finish Pickups: Wolfetone DR. Vintage Electronics: Master volume: Series-Parrallel Push-Pull Master tone: Bridge phase reverse Push-Pull Mini Toggles: Series/single/parallel for each pickup Pickup selector: 3-way toggle I had someone contact me a little over a year ago who was interested in having a guitar like this made, but never went through with it. By the time I found out he backed out it was to late, the seed had already been planted and the wheels were turning and I had a lot of ideas, so earlier this year in the spring I got my but in gear and started building. When I play this guitar I almost feel like its hugging me, I love the feel of it, its a guitar I would play regularly. The neck carve is perfect(for me at least ), its beefy but not a chunker though, just nice and comfortable in your hand. I love the looks and the feel on this one, and the wiring scheme gives you a plethora of tones. Its the deepest carve and recurve I have done to date and was over all just a fun experiment. vixen 5 by Peters Instruments, on Flickr vixen 5 by Peters Instruments, on Flickr vixen 5 by Peters Instruments, on Flickr vixen 5 by Peters Instruments, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
