We obviously need some info here, like topwood (bubinga?), body wood, neck woods, electronics, date of birth of your first born, etc... you know, basic stuff. |

The meltbody/squidhead is cool, and I like the fanned guitar too. What's the fretboard wood on that?

The website is being built as we speak.
The fanned guitar is a completed 6 string with a Chechen Fanned f/b laying over the top. I`m building a multi-scale 8 string guitar in that shape and I had requests on another site to post a pic of what it was going to look like.

I guess there is a little ken Smith infuence in this one. I`ve always admired ken`s work.
Yes, that is my inlay work.
The 7 string bass I made about 15 years ago. I`ll post some pics tomorrow with the details. Time for a Beer ....it`s been a long day in the shop!!!
Thanks for the praise guys. |

what about the 2 tilted Js | I checked my records and I built the bass back in 1985.
The pups are stacked Duncans and I disected and rewound the lower pup for a 3 pole pup, and the pole under the D string is a dummy. There weren`t many available pups for 7 strings with 19mm spacing back then (I do believe Ken Smith was the only one), so I had to improvise. I also made the bridge.

I made all of Dimebags prototypes and personal Washburns (I ran the custom shop back then). Those faxes are from when we were colaborating on the DimeSlime/BlackJack/DimeBolt models. He was a great guy to work with.
I miss that guy!!!
