Description
This is the beginnings of my first 'made from scratch' guitar! I got rather sick of my current guitar and wanted a new challenge, so I decided that, as someone who works with wood all day it would be a pretty poor show if I didn't have a go myself!The head/neck still has a long way to go, but here's a quick shot of it after the initial carving has been completed. I have a rough idea of where the design's going, but generally just letting things evolve as I go!
I'll upload some more shots when it starts to really take shape!

woa, sick, how did you managed to make those tiny holes??

Thanks so much for your interest in my work. I actually drilled the holes with a micro drill bit (about 0.5mm in diameter)& a micro carving burr (once again, 0.5mm or less) from Dremel.
It was a very easy technique that achieved a really nice 'textured' result - well I thought it did anyway! Thanks again, & If you'd like to know anything else at all, feel free to contact me again!

Your skills are stunning. I always admired people who could do woodwork, since that material (or perhaps the teacher I had) never agreed with me.
Congratulations to your well-deserved Daily Deviation. i must say, you are a great inspiration.

Oh my god this is absolutely extraordinary, if I had the money I'd pay you to make me one.........I'm curious what kind of bridge and pickups are you gonna use?

You must have gotten an "A" in Wood Shop when you were in High School because this is mega awesome.

FUCKING AWESOME
really, amazing
I wish I could do that to wood, instead of smashing it to pieces (not like the who 0_o guitars are holy!)
I;m gonna watch you, I'm very curious to see the final result

A very good start; I can tell the effort put into this.

Absolutely awesome. Given the detail and creativity that you put into your other projects, this is bound to be a true work of art. I would love to see the finished project.

Electric or acoustic? Cause acoustics might be a toughie since you have to get the internal shape perfect or it'll sound all wierd

I'm not a fan of the Ibanez' headstocks, but you made that shape 15413561234 % much more apealing to my eyes than it used to.

That looks fantastic.. It's going to look so bad ass when it's done!

Oh wow, this is awesome! I hang around a shop where the owner has been building custom guitars for twelve years now, but I've never seen him do anything so elaborate in the area of the headstock. Absolutely amazing! Can't wait to see the finished product.
By the way, what woods are you planning to use? Just curious.

Oh, man. That is so cool.
I was actually thinking of making a guitar myelf, but I think I was just shot down by this...

Thats so cool, might have to talk about a possible business propersition involving that piece of work.

Incredible, as always...judging by your other works, this will be something special and I just can't wait to see the whole thing ^^

I concur. Can't wait to see the finished product. My son just started learning to play the guitar, so my interest is peaking more with this hand artist made pieces.
