I found this Tangnipper from Sintoms, which has no problem with SS wire, expensive, but doing the job!

Very beautifully done. Recently maple/walnut seems to be a really popular choice.

Hi Peder
As usually a beauty!! I somehow miss some kind oinlay playing in the top, but somethimes less is more...really like the nowadays popular maple walnut combination

[bea]

Beautiful. But admittedly i would be disappointed seeing something less beautiful from You....

[Poldi]

[Walterson]

Really nice!
The endgrain looks like it needs more oil in some spots.

[Grandmaster T.]

Wow. Looks really nice. Inspiring...

[Simon]

This is really a good one!!!
I like the headstock!!

[MiLe]

Hi,

funny, there are a lot of details wich correspond exactly to my project : Curly walnut, similar shape of the body, veneer on the headstock, neck thru, Schaller Hannes, undercut stainless steel frets......... So of course, i have to like it very much
Very interesting to see how a professional handles the theme. Seeing how exactly you work in every detail motivates me, to do my work better next time

Thanks! Remember! this is a family hobby with a CNC....Here's the building process


In May 2013 we got a request for a custom build. The Client had this starting point which gave us a good chance to select the best of things, or make suggestions.


After a good dialog on possibilities, we started out by selecting the specific pieces of wood for the build, also to be used in the coming sketches and renderings.



The headstock design and shape are done by the Client, which master CAD and other visual applications.
This is incorporated into our final CAD file.


Weeks are spent between Client and us, developing the design based on the Cicada...body carving, cut aways, neck width to completely surround the Schaller backplate etc...


These are only a few examples....






















The result of the corporation work:)

[Titan-Jan]

Thanks, that was quite interesting... I do renderings myself but after seeing yours I know, I still have to work on my skills a lot

[helferlain]

Great!

...but one question: How did you insert the fretwire? Hammer or press?

[pp-guitars]

It was done by hammer, as the fretboard is compound, so that would only leave me with 1st, 12th and 24th for pressing
