My Star Trek 50th Anniversary Tribute Guitar Set

[orpheo]

I've been a major fan of Star Trek for oh, close to twenty years. I'm the guy you always make fun of: I've got the encyclopedia (first, second and third edition: fourth on its way), I've seen all episodes several times, I can recite scripts ets. But I grew up with 'Trek' and to me, it's a fairly important deal. So, when 2016 reared its ugly head I thought: now is the 50th anniversary of star trek, why not make two guitars to commemorate those years?

And that's just what I did. One guitar is my singlecut design, the other is my double cutaway design. I've chosen a triple-lam construction for both bodies: one ToneCore, sandwiched with great woods. I laminated the necks out of exotic timbers too. Got the best hardware, best pickups I could find, etc.

To summarize: these are the best guitars I made. By far. The action is super-low, the playability is buttery-smooth and the tones are to die for. Here are a few pics. Hope you enjoy them

The sheer attention to detail is what really astounds me.

Re: My Star Trek 50th Anniversary Tribute Guitar Set

Haha, I never heard someone call a guitar gaudy that has 0 pearl/abalone in it. Only timber, steel, silver, gold, copper and a bit of emaille.

About that middle pickup: just listen to the clip

In essence, this pickup isn't your daddy's p90. It's more like a blend between a p90 and a jazzmaster pickup, designed to give you that quacky tone with a bit of jangle when used with the neck or bridge pickup. I never liked a humbucker there, but a well-designed pickup in that spot gives you really useful sounds

Those guitars are simply beautiful! You are one talented person. Since you are a Star Trek fan, I have a riddle for you.

Q: What do Star Trek and toilet paper have in common?

A: They both go around Uranus looking for Klingons.

Knowing you, you either love this and are impressed with the work, or you totally hate this cause it's not Gibson or even a replica of 'how it should he's.

The latter is the more likely candidate.

I do make them in commission if one desires. They're not cheap, though
