I liked this idea so much, I built one for myself

My story begins where my profound love of guitars crossed paths with my hobby of restoring vintage woodworking tools. After collecting and restoring a few lovely old handplanes, I wanted to use them to build something more complicated than my usual test pieces. And as I've been obsessed with guitars since my teens, the obvious choice was to build a guitar. The first build was surprisingly good, and that spawned a new obsession with guitar construction and design. More guitar builds quickly followed, exploring new design ideas and challenging myself with better construction techniques and more complicated builds. A few years and guitars later brings us to the present. Where I'm offering bespoke, handmade instruments based on the requirements and dreams of the player. Each guitar I create is a testament to the creativity and individuality of its owner. No two are alike because I believe that every player deserves an instrument as unique as their music.

A few months ago, a potential customer contacted me looking for an instrument that could be used as a regular 7-string guitar, as well as a tapping instrument. This idea immediately resonated with me, and after the first of many video calls we started with design process. We went through many design iterations, and I built a few prototypes along the way to test the overall shape and balance of the instrument. During the design process I fell in love with the concept as well, and decided to also build one of these for myself. *Specs:* - Mahogany neck and body - Ziricote top - 25,5 - 27" scale length - African ebony fretboard with custom aluminium inlays - Machine screw bolt-on neck - Holighaus HDS Custom Slanted Pickups - ABM Tuners - Riviera Headpiece *Timestamps:* 0:00 - Fretslots and binding 4:07 - Aluminium inlays 6:50 - Making the neck 10:20 - Glue top to body 14:50 - Routing cavities 16:00 - Body shape 16:53 - Electronics cavity 18:55 - Bolt holes and contours 20:55 - Headstock and neck bolts 23:23 - Trapezoid neck profile 25:22 - Side dots 26:10 - Body final touches 27:47 - Fretwork 29:23 - Sanding, finishing, assembly 32:01 - Demo If you’re interested in owning a bespoke guitar tailored to your vision, my order book is currently open.
