Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, keeping busy though! Had some setups and minor work come and go. Moving on to a larger project, prototype model The Dragon! I've slowly worked on this body for about a year and now I've decided to get the neck going and bring this beast to life! Please like and share, and stay tuned for progress updates!
Hey all, here is the final post for the dulcitar hybrid build. Sound demo: running through a marshall valvestate 50w head, 4x12 1960a cab, and a deluxe big m**f i kick on towards the end. 3-way swich; up = piezo w/volume control; down = humbucker w/split, volume, and tone controls; middle = both/blend.

More work done! It is officially a stringed instrument! String spacing, nut, bridge, and saddle work finished and intonated. Electronics fully wired and tested. Customer and I had planned on doing a paint collaboration for the finish this last weekend and after testing the paint on scraps and not liking the result, we decided to get some translucent colored guitar stains instead. It plays and sounds great but we are not quite finished yet.

Making some dust! Moving some wood today for my first commissioned Custom build. Electrified, semi-hollow, dulcimer hybrid!

Second guitar for recent client: Jackson Soloist original Floyd-Rose. I discovered this guitar had a factory flaw, one of the bridge posts were drilled in the wrong position causing the Floyd-Rose to sit in the wrong place in turn causing tuning instability and setup problems. I plugged the original hole, redrilled it to the proper alignment, sanded smooth, and repainted the area. Reinstalled post, bridge and finished it up with a proper setup.
