She is starting to look a bit more like an instrument. :yesway:
The body will be stained orange with black pore fill. Undecided on whether or not I'll try to stain the headstock to match or leaving it as is. Gold hardware and DiMarzio SomethingOrOthers will be on the way soon, too.
Really happy with the neck. Perle does great work.
Edit: This is essentially what she will look like when finished.
Yeah, like Shawn said, it doesn't do that. It actually creates a little bit of a problem. The wound strings are more prone to sympathetic resonance. There's a greater need to dampen the strings behind the nut.
I didn't wanna be a dick (for once) and say, but when you were contemplating that 3/4 headstock, I was thinking, 'man, anyone who orders a custom Ibanez neck and doesn't go reverse headstock is tripping. Hard.'
Looks great. That's gonna be a real looker. Gold hardware aside. :fawk:
Sexcellent. How does the neck feel? What would you compare the carve too? I've eyed up Nate's builds for ages but unwilling to unload the cash and customs fees on such an unknown.
The neck profile is supposedly a UV profile, but I haven't played enough UVs to say if that's true or not. Honestly, it feels like a nice Ibanez neck. :shrug:
Definitely a shreddy neck, but nothing too extreme.
Made a mockup, for shits 'n gigs. Adding to the OP as well. The number of strings is obviously wrong, and the control layout is wrong as well, but :dgaf:.
Logo decal, custom DiMarzios, and Hipshot locking tuners have all been ordered and will be on their way sometime soon. The bridge and the rest of the hardware will be ordered on Monday. I'll be ready to start the finish and assembly in no time.
Hey where did you order your logo from? Pearle?
Love reverse headstock.....
Can't wait to see it done.
I have a gold floyd on a guitar and it's been amazing for the past 12 years. ALWAYS in tune and NEVER a problem. Flawless.
