It's time to post some o my work (it wouldn't have been possible without Kram files and help!).


As some of you know i started making a guitar (i used a manual cutter since i do not have a CNC) and shaped it after....well Homer Jay Simpson...

I have yet to finish but here you can see what i a chieved so far

Comments and suggestions are highly appreciated.

 

man that is great when you miss a note you can yell Dooh! Very cool.

 

Cool!

 

Thank you all for the "coolness" I am actually considering a D'hou button somewhere that when pressed allows the D'hou sound into the output jack....

Now with a CNC that would have been very easy and "fast" unfortunatly i do not own one yet but considering one that i saw here (you saw the kinbda job i need to make...so if you have any suggestion on model and such....)

Once again i need to thank Kram if it wasn't for his help in finding drawind of guitar (that helped me understand guitars....since i do not play nor know anything about how they work) he is very supportive, anything i asked (as DXF) he delivered and it is very hard to find a nicest person around.

I will keep you guys updated and post more picture as i go on, so again if any suggestion orcomment comes to mind please tell me!

thanks

Just out of curiosity .. bow much would you think a guitar like that could sell??


I mean i know it'll probably have a lot to do on how it sounds.... but considering a development point of view how much do you think it'll be worth??


Not that i am planning on selling it (it's a present i am making for my GF).

Thanks!

 

Thanks again for the link, I actually saw that some time ago and was amazed by some of his work (some paintjob are outstanding).

I already got a semi order for a custon guitar (it'll all depend on how this will sound) and considering making a Violin shaped stile guitar (something on like this http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Uqbq06mlbPA/SjOrO ... %252F1.jpg)

If i do go along and make it i will post the plans for that one so i can finally contribute to this forum.

Also Kram... do you know what cutter i can use do to such jobs??? doing them by hand like i did this one is just too demanding (if it ever picks up orders) i need something that can cut this kinda thickness.

I am finishing some woork on Homer, rounding edges and i should be done by next week, then i need to finish the pastic that covers the holes and i should be set for painting, as said before i will update you guys on the development

Ok..it doesn't make it justice yet... the stickers are on the way and they will definetly render this guitar cool.

As soon as i finish i promise to take a better pic ...maybe witha reflex.....

A very good friend made this one, he did the airbrush work also.I purchased it from him, I'm not too sure if you know the band Queensryche or not, the body is there band logo. Also the whole band autographed it
I gave it to my wife for christmas,she's a huge fan. The things people can build simply amaze me. I love the Homer guitar Attached files

 

I wish i could airbrush like that! awesome guitar!

 

If anyone wants to see it playing.... well i got someone trying it out for me (i dunno how to play )
