JEN Custom #3
Ahh.. It's this time of year again. Just finished my last build so what could be more perfect time to start another? This will be the first guitar I make for someone other than myself. My little brother is the lead guitarist in a metal band (why does it seem to me that nowadays every ~20 year old has a metal band?
 ) and so I thought I'll make him a guitar for his 25th birthday. He's only 22 at the moment but I'll ignore that fact for now. Anyway, it'll be something like the last one but with a bit more edge and 'metal' to it. Specs and pics will follow.UPDATE This one is now finished. For final pics, look at post #191.

Wow.. you do have some high expectations
Remember I've only made two before.Quote:
Quote:
- body shape similar to JEN Custom #2 - 2pc body made of European Black Alder (Alnus glutinosa) - Flamed maple top (flat top with armrest) - 5pc neck from the same block than the neck on #2 (flamed maple with 2 wenge stripes) - PRS'ish 3+3 headstock with volute, double action truss rod - ebony fretboard, 25,5" scale, 24 frets (6100 or 6105) - no idea on inlays yet - H/H pickups, not sure about make/model yet, could be actives, could be for example Irongears with active preamp - wenge pickuprings - graphtech nut - Schaller Hannes fixed bridge - probably Schaller locking tuners Next week I'll be planing and glueing the body and making templates. I'll have to wait for the top for a while since just won it on ebay.

Judging by the quality of your previous builds, your brother will NOT be disappointed.
Sounds amazing, and he's very lucky to have you as a brother, I'm sure. *awaits pics*
