Hallo liebes Forum,
ich bin nun schon seit einiger Zeit in Internationalen Foren unterwegs und ich baue gerade zusammen mit einer netten Foren-Bekanntschaft eine Customgitarre, habe aber bis jetzt nur eben das Internationale Forum mit Bildern etc. versorgt.
Doch ich bin der Meinung, dass es euch vlt. auch interessiert, besonders da 8 Saiter hier ja eine Rarität sind!
Ich lasse den Post vorerst in Englisch, ich glaube man kann auch so alles gut erkennen, wenn Fragen zu Begriffen oder Ähnliches auftauchen, dann fragt einfach!
Hier der 1. Post, mit Updates etc.
Foreword
Hey guy´s,
i need a new baby with more then 6 Strings...first i wanted to buy an Agile but...it is quite expensive with shipping and that stuff...and not THAT unique.
I´m a big fan of Pat Hufschmid´s Designs but he is too expensive (but fair) for a student.
Sooo i read the forum every day since i noticed flo´s 8 String build and i was in love with his natural design instantly. But the best thing about it is that he is from Germany, too! Ohhh yeah, my Guitar will be a "bäppler"
Because he is a student, too it will be a long-timed project, but i think we will build a (my) dreamguitar.
Planing the specs!
I LOOOOVE the Jackson Kelly Design. It´s just the shit. So it will be (of course) a Kelly Body shape (or something quite similar).
Other Specs as followed:
You can see that the highlight will be a stripe of royal white ebony, the rest of the design (hopefully) will be natural dark oiled or waxed as the Hufschmids.
The headstock is reversed, don´t know if 7 in line or 7+1 or 6+2...we will see.
THE ACTUAL HEADSTOCK IS INDEED A COPY OF HUFSCHMID´S DESIGN, IT´S NOT FINAL.
I didn´t asked Huf yet, but if we reach the step to build the headstock i will ask him of course.
Sorry Pat if this is against your will, if it is, please tell me and I will replace the headstock in the design idea
with an other one.
NEW DESIGN 01.11.2009
So i´ve got some stuff to discuss:
1. 7 or 8 String --It´s a 8!
2. Scale -- 27"
3. Woodchoice --done
4. Other
1. 7 or 8 String OH MY GOD, IT`s A 8 STRING!
I´m not sure if i need 8 Strings...i defenitly need the B, but the F#?
The next problem is that it depends on dreierguitars if he can build me such a Fingerboard. AND the humbuckers are epic expensive. I thought about installing 1x 6 String humbucker at the bridge for the low Strings and 1x 6 String humbucker at the neck for the high strings. I think that would be pretty cool (and cheaper)
If 7 Strings the hardware would be much cheaper and i would buy a 7 String blackout.
IT´s a 8!
2. Scale 27"
If 7 Strings i prefer Agile baritone 27"...sounds nice and is not too long.
If 8 Strings maybe these 28,whateva...or?
I don´t know if i can handle fanned frets and i don´t think dreier can build it.
3. Woodchoice
The royal white ebony is the main theme, this one will stay.
But i´m not sure about the rest...Pat is not telling me his secret of oiling the mahagony so epic dark and maybe other darker woods are a better choice for the body? Walnut looks very epic...or Macassar Ebony but that is very expensive. Please discuss the woodchoice it´s just a product of reading maaany building threads.
The Fingerboard will (hopefully) be Ziricote...i really like the look of it.
But maybe Macassar Ebony is a better choice here, too?
Can you tell me some good woodshops?
Fingerboard:
Ziricote 24 Frets, 27"
FINISHED!
Neckwood, 5pcs. :
Maple-Wenge-Royal white ebony-Wenge-Maple
I just ordered the wood, PICS!
A BIIIIG piece of Wenge for the neck (and many other necks of flo i think )
And 2 pieces of Khaya Mahagony for the bodywings!
Here is a preview of the Royal white Ebony, but i called them and they will send me pics of the most epic pieces so we can choose
4. Other
Hardware colour black or gold?
I think gold would match to the natur look.
The Sidedots will be rune´s of the vikings, a great idea of flo who used these IIX signs for his 8 String.
Dreier will build my Fingerboard, here is his link
www.dreier-gitarren.de
I think about asking a friendly blacksmith creating me some metalparts for the finish...inspired by this one:
Amfisound tuotesivu
The finish of the guitar will maybe be made by a woodartist...he uses chainsaws and stuff creating sculputers...so that the bodyshape/carving will look "old and handmade by norns", too. I also think about some cool image carvings...but it will take a long time from now to then.
