Sup guys. I see a new forum section has been made... it's about time!
Also, Lewstherin--I've seen you on here quite a bit, but I had no idea you were a luthier. Fun stuff, eh?
So, to anyone who doesn't know me... I'm an aspiring luthier who is interested in building many different kinds of instruments, but I'm starting with the electric guitar (not only do I love instruments and want to build many different types, stringed and percussion, but I love to build computers too, and may get into building amps someday). I plan on going to Galloup Guitars this fall, a (very expensive) school that trains one how to build 4 different types of guitars, and I hear alot of experienced luthiers say it's good occupational training.
I hope to build custom guitars to anyone who wants one; to me, every serious/semi-serious guitarist needs a custom guitar. After some time, every guitarist develops a certain taste for different aspects in a guitar. I know I did!! I think everyone would love to have a guitar made just to their specs, with the exact body design, neck thickness, fret size, fretboard radius, scale length, bridge type, pickup type, pickup configuation, wiring, finish, body wood... erm.. I guess I don't need to say much more here.
Anyway, to proclaim my love for the new lutherie section (it's lutherie, not luthery
), here's a picture of a neck I built. I still don't have the inlays yet, so I haven't fretted the rosewood board I have, and attached it yet.
Aaaand this monday I should have a picture of the body all routed, might even have the shape bandsawed out too, depending on how much time I have.
