My July batch, Part 1: Star Trek

[orpheo]

I wanted to make two semi hollow body LP's with matching woods, matching tops and backs and inlays I really wanted to try out myself again. So... Yeah, here you go

 

[GuitarDoc]

What's the wood on the brown one? I love it.

 

[Wattage]

Stunning

 

[PFDarkside]

Very nice!

What's the wood on the brown one? I love it.

Walnut If you look closely, you can see that I cut the top(S) from the same boards as the backs.

The walnut has a spruce core with a walnut neck; the maple has a spanish cedar core with a maple neck.

 

[GuitarDoc]

I thought it was walnut. Just thought i'd ask to make sure.
With so much walnut, is that guitar pretty heavy, even though it's a semi?

 

[orpheo]

Actually... no. The walnut is 3.5kg exactly. That's 7.13lbs. The maple is exactly the same. The 2 dutchwood lp's are a full kilo heavier. 4.6kg/10lbs.

The lilac is 7.15lbs, 3.6kg.

 

[Masta' C]

Man, you are busting out some really great stuff! I'm lovin' it! Keep 'em coming!

 

[Snake Aces]

I used to watch Star Trek a lot when I was a kid. The inlays are very cool and the wood is gorgeous on both of these!

 

[Mincer]

As a big ST fan, I love these. I remember talking about these a long time ago.

 

[ErikH]

Those are pretty. I think Nugent when I see those. I know he traditionally plays a bigger guitar but the F holes are what does it. A nice look.

 

[piblock]

I am in love with those guitars.

Live long and prosper.

 

[orpheo]

I'll be remaking these later this year. Same inlay, same body shape but slightly different construction, different pickups and other appointments. My Winter 2020 Collection will be the best and most consistent I can make and be.

 

[Obsessive Compulsive]

As a big ST fan, I love these. I remember talking about these a long time ago.

Really? I thought you are more of a minimalistic, elegant kinda style.

 

[Mincer]

Really? I thought you are more of a minimalistic, elegant kinda style.

Generally, but I love the design of these.
