Wow, that looks cool. You must have had quite a lot of money on your hands before you had this done.

so who made that body for you? manson?

El Zilcho · 29-06-2005, 10:45 AM

You know, you should do this for a living...

musecasters · 29-06-2005, 10:47 AM

i built it myself from mahogany, the project has cost me about £1100 so far, but thats just for the parts & wood

Are you going to build some guitars you designed yourself? Let me tell you again, you so should start a business, your guitars look really really well done.

oh the chroming is done

lovely,
i saw the body on muselive.com. looks amazing kev,
would you ever be interesting in shaping bodies privately? not mattocaster shapes, just guitar bodies in general, possibly even building a whole guitar for someone, no? ok had to ask anyway

afraid not mate, i only do it for fun & for myself, i'm flattered that you ask me but i really don't have the time....and i would be worried too much if i got it wrong for anyone. good luck

haha thought you'd say that, i'd love to do the same sort of thing myself but i don't have the necessary tools. what tools do you have? some big power tools or do you do it all with hand held stuff?
i'm jealous, i'd love to be able to build myself a guitar in my free time

Hand held crap, bit of time & a lot of patience

Phill · 29-06-2005, 11:59 AM

haha wow, thats very cool, i imagined you had all the big ass things that schools have in the technology department

you're even more of a legend now.
i'd be quite worried about spending a fair bit of money on parts to build a guitar, finishing it and then it playing worse than a £100 squire or something

it's a big risk, the first 2 didn't have a floating bridge, this has, i have no experience with this type of guitar....it might end up a pretty looking ornament!
