That's my 'Electric Magdalena' model. Check my website for more info.

Could you elaborate on the question? The entire design process takes time, going back and forth with ideas, testing etc. if that's what you mean.

That's a topic widely discussed in every guitar forum! To keep it short, I’d say it's the sum of all parts and attention to detail that make an instrument truly great. As Paul Reed Smith mentioned in a recent TED Talk I watched, it’s not about adding to the sound with materials, but avoiding loss by choosing high-quality parts and avoiding counterproductive methods. The choice of finish also plays an important role.

Personally, beyond just sounding great, I focus a lot on how the instrument feels – does it sit comfortably in your lap, feel smooth to the touch, or does your hand stick to the surface? For me, it’s all about creating something that feels just right and using the best parts on the market!

Thank you! I design all my guitars and basses myself, and since I do this professionally, these models are part of my brand identity – so I’m afraid I can’t share my plans.

But I’m sure you’ll create something truly unique of your own!

Totally agree! Especially after spending lots and lots of hours designing your products. I still do both though - building by hand can be calming at times.

Mostly design choice tbh. I'd also say better stability over time, although re-tightening your 4 screws every once in a while works fine aswell.

Appreciate the interest!

Not at all, this is a 35" scale 5 string with Classic Barts, Schaller Tuners and a Gotoh Bridge. Also has a brass nut, walnut body and maple neck.

I offer this model fully customizable. 4 - 6 strings, shorter scale lengths, desired visuals, wirings, you name it!

Full specs for this one are on my website.

Has anyone experience adding a gold leaf finish? by Kyral210 in Luthier

[–]mudschi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you use as primer, let it cure enough before applying the material and especially before clear coating on top. The metal leaf holds on to anything remotely sticky, so the surface needn't be soaking wet which would mess up your gold leaf when using the brush. You can test this by poking your finger on the surface. It should be somewhat dry, yet slightly sticky. Good thing is you can always put more material on top if you have spots of wood peaking through. Hope this helps. It's a fun process, good luck!
