new X-Fusion guitar in progress (The explorer from D&C)

[Metalcaster]

this is a special order for sinister guitar picks
they ask me make it as much metal as possible
it has a steel body, and a steel fretboard

so i gave it a rough metal look

skull rings installed

a guitar pick with steel edge inside a steel fretboard

First thought, how is the neck made?

the neck is a american hard maple neck and the fretbaord is a metal fretboard not the aluminium **** but real steel
the neck is total made by hand

Thanks! Looks killer! I'll bet the steel FB provides some great neck stability too

Love those pickup rings. I put a set of them on my 7-string.

I think you should have made the pickup rings. I am sure you could do a way better job than those skull ones sold on ebay? Anyway it looks rad.

i by the skull rings from guitarhead not e-bay
a steel fretboard is something i can only build for D&C Guitars, when i make them i first do fret leveling by hand than, i mounted to the neck and i have to start again
i cost one fretfile/ fretboard and it really is not easy so it would be to expencive to make them for selling, the frets and board are laser-cut, so it gets really hot, now when steel gets hot the structure change from soft to really hard
than i weld the frets on the fretboard and it gets even harder
frets for life

Re: new X-Fusion guitar in progress (The explorer from D&C)

so here it is in all his glory

The story:

this guitar is a special design for Sinister Guitar Picks the pic with the steel edge
now what can be more metal than a guitar pick with steel edge and a Metal body guitar with Metal fretboard from D&C Metal Body Guitars
the question was.... Make it as metal as possible
so.... it has RGB LED inside and push buttons on the top, so you can change color any time you want to.
it has a steel fretboard with a sinister guitar pick inlay (the spitfire) the body has a transparent black relic color and the neck is made form hard maple, and has a D&C Relic
locking nut, finetuning on the bridge
2 humbuckers, handwounded by 4 seasons pickups
the RGB LED works on a 9 V battery, to change the battery, there is a battery holder installed.... so easy to change the battery no screwdriver needed :headbang:
real soon this Guitar will go to USA
so stay tuned for more news
