Well he said call dibs in the thread, send him a a PM, and he'll make arrangements. I only see someone talking about #1 on a two page thread soooooooo. We'll see. Wish me luck. It's been a hard year so far for me, I could use a break.I see he said they're spoken for, but you never know.

When you post the others, can you specify the weight with each one? I might be interested in one of them, if the weight is around 7.5 lbs or less.

Can I call dibs on this one? Or did someone already? Do you have pics of the headstock?

EDIT: payment sent.

Allright guys! I'm up and awake and my inbox has exploded. But that was to be expected.

Guitars #1 and #4 are spoken for and paid for too, so those are 100% out of the equation.

Guitars #2 and #3, I'm still talking about those but for now let's assume they're spoken for too. So...


Who's up for round 2?
 
I have four more guitar bodies that I have hardware for. Just need necks. (3x strat 1x tele)

I have three more guitar necks that I have hardware for. Just need bodies. (2x Blackmachine style neck and 1 neck with a 3x3 headstock that could go on everything in a pinch other than a superstrat model).

If I really exert myself I could make seven (!) guitars for a new giveaway.

I'll think about that, also because it has quite some additional costs involved to make 4 new necks and 3 bodies. Cost wise, that would be close to 1000$ and I'm not really comfortable shilling out that cash myself just to give away ;) Oh, and paints. OMG paint is so expensive, haha. I have written off these guitars years ago. They're just gathering dust. But... This idea of these 7 guitars is for something in the future. Let's first see how this project goes.

If you want to keep the dibs after seeing the pics, just quote this post and we'll sort it out!

Guitar 7.
X.

My view on what an X could be if I had it my way. Ok, this one is fairly lightweight but c'mon this one is so small and has such a slim neck and tiny headstock, how can it be anything else but lightweight?

Korina body, wenge neck, Custom/59 hybrid bridge and neck I believe? Fat, roaring and just way too 'Europe' for its own good. Unfortunately... gathering dust. This was just a demo and prototype, testing templates and finishing methods, and the neck was a left over. If you take a close look at the heel you'll see there's a weird horizontal slot. That was an error. That's the reason this one can't be sold. I cut that slot too deep. I could (have) reshaped that heel completely and made it blend in with the body but the body was done before the neck and I just didn't bother anymore haha! The slot is only a few millimeters deep and this guitar is already 5 years old. This thing won't move. I promise you. If you are really uncomfortable with this, I could find a piece of wood (perhaps a contrasting material) and fill it, But so far, never had an incentive to do anything.

AWESOME! Yes, I want this axe for sure!

I'm just blown away. Can't thank you enough, Orpheo.

Words fail me.

The pink Strat looks fabulous - beautiful piece of ash in back.
And the Vee is gorgeous too. Forum bro d1dsj got himself a beauty.

Guitar 5.
Pink strat.

This is a chunky axe. Thick neck, no tummy cut. Buttery low action and a smooth trem system that can be set up floating too. This axe is close to 4.2 kilo's I think. But not a lightweight by any stretch of the imagination.

I will not give these pickups away! I'll install something 'normal' because these pickups are really amazing.

That's a pretty guitar! How do those single coil PATBs sound? I've always been fascinated with them.

Dibs for Forum member d1dsj! If you want this axe for sure, now I posted the pics, please quote this post and make it known to the world! ;)

Guitar 6.
Amber V. Black korina body, ziricote neck, ebony board. The neck is slim and fast. I made an error once with the tailpiece, there's a photo of that. I plugged the hole but it's still visible and that's why this one is unsellable. I will have to recess the tailpiece, though, to improve the break angle. Once again: I won't ship this one with these pickups. They're some of my favorite PAF's and I'll install a random set of Duncans I have in my parts bin, unless you would prefer I didn't install any pickups because you prefer to do something yourself. And yes. That neck pickup's mounting ring overhangs the body edge. Long story... don't ask.

For obvious reasons, I don't have a case or gigbag for this one, muahah! But I do have a great box, packing foam and packing peanuts.

hell yeah that’s awesome!! How to proceed please? Wow wow wow
