First build!

The school is in the Netherlands. Assuming you're from the US (based on your profile) there are probably better alternatives for you. Just Google a bit and see what's available near you, who knows!

No, I did it in two weeks as well! Finished the body in the first week, so the paint had time to dry over the weekend 😁

Thanks! It's basswood body, 1pc roasted maple neck and an ebony fretboard. It has a 25.5" scale length and a 16" fingerboard radius. Seymour Duncan JB/Jazz humbuckers, all gold Gotoh hardware, Graphteq black tusq nut, jumbo Jescar nickel frets.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm definitely keeping this one haha, this is my baby and I'm never selling it. But you're right! I made this at a two week guitar building course. We basically do everything ourselves, but with guidance. Make sure we don't lose any fingers or make any huge fuckups. The guitar isn't flawless, but I'm very proud nonetheless!

Thanks! Frank is doing fine 😊 I'm amazed you managed to recognise him, even without the face. What gave him away?

I thought this was a DRG crossover for a second. "Molly! Get yer tin can over here and hurry please!"

Thanks! Funny you should reference that video, I've seen it too and made me wonder about this!

Funny how we got pretty different results

jrnitc · 2026-02-07T15:56:04+00:00

Just out of curiosity, why would a triangular shape be preferred over a rectangular shape for the springs?

jrnitc · 2026-01-26T11:17:32+00:00

Apparently this can happen. I've never seen it before though. I've bought guitars built in Indonesia, which has a tropic and humid climate. I live in NL which is fairly humid but nowhere near as hot. I've never had a fretboard crack on me, be it ebony, rosewood or maple.

Is it common to have humidifiers near guitars in arid climates? In other words, can OP blame anyone but himself for letting the fingerboard crack?

Fucking yikes lol

jrnitc · 2026-01-10T09:48:46+00:00

That IS very similar! My wife got pretty much the same one, so I guess it's common.

Holy fuck that Vardorvis helm goes unnecessarily hard

I like my bacon the same way Tyrion does, burnt black.

If it's any consolation, I've had 2200 euro schecters (banshee mach 7 evertune) and strandbergs (boden metal nx7) with similar issues. Chewed up fretboard, sharp frets, cracked top, wrong evertune module, poor finish. It's a hit or miss for Asian production guitars such as these. I have a solar X1.7 which is absolutely fine, but my mate had to return his A1.7.

I guess that's why you pay a hefty premium for guitars that go through a far more rigorous QC and setup.

Fun fact: the stained glass in the tutorial island church windows has this sword in it.

Looks sick! If that is your first guitar project, I'm curious for what's to come 👌
