I am currently building for 3 guys on the forum and their guitars are not completed yet

2) Jeremy's black guitar (i think he told me he lost his forum password) but anyay - charcoal stained singlecutaway - one piece mahogany back and 4A flame maple top (charcoal grey top, natural maple edge, gloss black back and neck, chrome pickups, piezo bridge, 2 stars inlayed at the 12th fret

Fatty's you've all seen, but here's another pic (the bridge section looks weird but those are channels for the piezo saddles and the rest looks ununiform because i wanted to leave every drop of wood in the body I could since its semi-hollow and there is a rosewood neck (i wanted things to balance)

mrfjones's tele - he purchased a real fender neck for this one to go for that totally traditional vintage look

OOOOOH! BLUELINE, I'M GONNA TELL GIBSON!. lol, just kiddin man. Those are some awsome guitars. Do you do all your stuff by hand? I'm gonna have to hook up with you after I get out of Galloup.

Re: Show your Custom Gauge Guitars.......

I do everything by hand
and for the record (your Honor) they really do not look like LPs in real life - they're past the PRS singlecut design either

thanks for lookin everyone

Re: Show your Custom Gauge Guitars.......

All I have to say is "That is insane"......if you ask me I'll say Gibson who..........
Those guitars look amazing..............Hopefully soon I'll be in that same boat....

Re: Show your Custom Gauge Guitars.......

ooooooh, man, I love natural binding - yours looks very very clean! I'm about to attempt that kinda finish meself! got any tips? (if so, please pm me, as I hate to hijack the thread!)

Re: Show your Custom Gauge Guitars.......

DUDE that's some insane work! How long does it take you to make one of those babies?

[Blueline]

Re: Show your Custom Gauge Guitars.......

Thanks - its takes time - especially since its not my day job by any strectch of the imagination (about 6 month turnaround time)
they're all hand built - and carved - by me - i'm the only one in the shop

Blue Calx - either tape off the binding - or if you're worried, tape off the rest of the guitar and shoot a coat of clear over the binding, then tape off the binding and you'll be able to wipe off any "mistakes"

Re: Show your Custom Gauge Guitars.......

I like that TELE though.....

Re: Show your Custom Gauge Guitars.......

Very handsome pieces of work all of them and nice to see that some guys are letting you loose!!. Six months is a long time to wait but when you want something done properly and with good workmanship then it is a small price to pay.

Do like the look of that tele (I am also going through a tele phase) and would love to see some pics when it's all put together. Thanks Blueline for the sharing as always great.

Re: Show your Custom Gauge Guitars.......

They all look great.....The Charcoal color on the single cut is great as well...
