I get a bit frustrated, of the lack of "custom guitars" in Europe,...so I throw in, a couple of sketches, for your judgement. Feel free to comment!....of a "pretty known piece..." don't know if it's a good idea? http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h350/ppguitars/Screenshot2013-02-17at30452PM_zpsee2b...

Answer from Schaller... I've contacted Schaller through the importer in Denmark, and they haven't had complains about the issues with the saddle and template, and if anything like this happens, you should contact them for help, replacement or repair. They do have an excellent service! I have experie...

...hang your coat, and start playing Rack'n'Roll

OK I'll stay off the market and have fun!
...lastest adjustments...


Neck glued up, and body and top wood are getting ready...

Basicly through the web page, but we went to Copenhagen Guitarshow....lot of interest, but nothing happened. We don't push the project to hard, as we both have plenty to with our real jobs. This is a hobby, so we can wait to see what happens...we'll try a few other approaches this year, as I run out...

Yes Bea, you are right, we might be carried away in the wrong direction....could be fun though! or I could consider giving up my guitar-clothes-rack project...throw in a skull and a couple of strings, and use the Cicada for clothes hanger...just kidding :) http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h350/pp...

Thanks for the info Philip
These issues will be presented for Schaller, this week, and as soon as I get a reaction I will post it here.

Yes! I'm sure...she will get one for free!

Yes! I would love to see Taylor Swift play this guitar....who knows!
We started this as Scarab....but, yes! want to try a girl type guitar

Time to make a guitar again... After several sketches and themes, this little noisy beast emerged...called Cicada Ice birch body and flamed Maple neck with Wenge as center. 6mm bookmatch wenge top with mop, abalone and mahogany pommelé intarsia. Schaller Hannes bridge, two single coil Kinman pickups...

Wünsche allen ein Frohes Neues Jahr!

The strange thing is that I, with the first bridge, did try to make a "lose wire" ground, but something must have been different, as I didn't get it to work....and would you know....the bridge is made in Germany....sent to US and back again....could imagine that it is Schaller who makes them, as the...

Just a bit of information on this thread, for you who consider using this bridge.... I got a new bridge from Thomann, and installed it ....exactly same problem! In my frustration I took a piece of wire, connected it to the bridge and down to the ground on my jack cord....BINGO! no hum but strings pl...

Glad you like it...The owner is extremely happy. I'm sorry that I didn't take pictures for a bauthread, but it's very similar to my thread in "Boxenbau" Handbuilt 5E3 NO tweed deluxe. In case any of you own a super reverb and want to go for the "grand daddy" design, I do have the basic plans availab...

A friend of mine, saw my little wooden Reinau amp, and asked me do make his life easier with his very heavy Super Reverb. It was too high for him to lift in a straight arm, so we would have to stretch his arm for some weeks, or build another cabinet. He chose the last.... At the same time we got a 1...

I bought a Fishman Powerbridge on Amazon USA, and it's now on my Dragonfly, but the thing is making the strings hot. I've tried it with 2 brand new powerchips, and straight to the jack....same result....tries to blow my speakers up when I touch the strings. Absolutely nothing but hum. Everything is ...

they called it the silent show...They had 3 zones for different noise levels, and you could only play first 20 min of each hour....the rest should be only low level short demoes....it almost worked

Here's a couple of small clips from the show, taken with our GoPro camera. There was about 2500 visitors http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h350/ppguitars/th_GOPR0021.jpg Here's the ol' man himself explaining the secrets of our guitars! http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h350/ppguitars/th_GOPR0019...

As mentioned in Hans' Violinbass beauty, I stumpled upon a wrecked Wyman Bass. I made plans of it, as good as I could, without taking the bass apart. If anybody in the forum would take up the challenge....contact me. As always, absolutely no commercial use. grüss Peder http://i1105.photobucket.com/a...

I will start a new topic, in Baupläne und Designs, as it is more appropriate, with respect for this fine build!

Very, very nice job. congratulations Hans. If you get tempted to do another of these shortscale bass marvels, I did drawings of a Bill Wyman bass, I accidently had in for a valuation.... It was in a terrible shape, and was suitable for wall decoration, but with these rarities, I always make, as good...

Weight: 2.55 kg The shape contains of 22 layers of 0.4mm thin wood veneer and 2 layer carbon strips. Maple/one layer carbon/walnut/one layer carbon/ Maple. 11mm thick in all. I did the inner 8 Maple/1 carbon/1 walnut first, then added rest walnut/1 carbon/1 Maple....and finally the rest layers of ma...

So! finally got the Dragonfly in the air, although there's still an issue with the Fishman Powerbridge that I couldn't get working. It makes the strings hot, which results in a roar of hum, so that is trying to be solved with Fishman! Fortunately Kinmans P-90 plays like a dream. The guitar drew a lo...

Fishman powerbridge. The fly will look like this when done....

Finally got back to this experiment. Things has taken new turns as Schaller came out with DA VINCI tuners....perfect for the fly....Chris Kinman got inspired with the airy look, and came up with a clear cover with possibility for an thin colored inlay, for his P-90....here we did a wood purpleheart ...
