Really nice guitar man, can you show pics of the back too? I'de like to see how you did the neck joint and everything

 

[Ray Holt]

I was just able to get some pictures of the back! I'm sorry for the poor quality, my camera is pretty crummy. The neck joint is a PRS style joint, with the tab that extends into the body under the neck pickup.

that's one of the nicest looking short scale 6 string piccolo basses I've ever seen!!!

great work

nice

I think cream pickup rings would look superb. They'd look good with the binding.

Looks great, any soundclips?

I agree about the pickup rings, I'm going to try to get my hands on some soon. No soundclips yet, not sure if I'll be able to get some good ones or not.

I'm a design engineer by heart and profession. They, sorry, we are defined by this: a design engineer is a person that finds minimum one problem to each solution.

Hence, I look for possible improvments, always.
The only one I find in your pictures, Ray, is that there is some glue residue around the neck seat. Find a way to avoid that, and go to the next level: "meticulous detail focus".

Oh I'm well aware of it sir! It really doesn't stand out as much in real life as it does with the flash in the pictures, but it's still not acceptable.

On the other hand, it's only my first build and we've been kind of pressed for time during the course... I'm definitely going to be more meticulous next time!

Thanks for the criticism

Mmm mmm mmm. I like it so far! Creme pickup rings +1.

And... maybe if you can find creme pickup covers? Try black rings creme pickups, creme rings black pickups...

And next time, make your name inlay larger. Get that guy nice and bold. Make sure it's a focal point, so people know and recognize!

...i'm jealous. It's beautiful for a guitar.

So this is a guy to watch out for in the future. I love the design and like I said before, body is a little bit godinish.

Wow, beautiful, I would love to have one to be completely honest. And to think you're younger than me is just WOW. Congrats on the sweet build.

Thanks so much everyone. Please do keep an eye out for me... I'll be posting all my stuff here so you shouldn't have any problem! Electric #2 is in the works, I'll try to get some in progress pics soon. Same body shape but a double-cutaway... I can't decide which version I like better And believe it or not, I'm pretty sure the Koa top on #2 is even more beautiful than this one.

Thanks tplyons, maybe someday I can build one just for you I do have to say I'm pretty excited to be getting my start in the craft at the age of 19.

All I have to say is solid black, creme binding, dimarzio pickups... drool.

If you did the single cut in a 7 string guitar I would buy it in a second. I really want a single cut 7 string. I am excited to see your next progress thread.
