Yep, I make guitars as well. Get a load of this bastard - No. #01 Kogeki I made this out of northern european redwood that I nicked from work. It's got a solid ebony 24 fret neck (how f**king cool is that?), Setmour duncan Invader neck pickup - JB special bridge, Gibson hardware, skull knobs and gold fretwire. The Mark of undivided Chaos and the snake were made by me and my mate who is a blacksmith. I have the same mark of Chaos (like my old avatar) tatooed on my back (when I was in L.A.). The strings go through the body like a tele. The section of the guitar that touches my body and picking arm is ergonomically contoured - I stenciled round my arm and ribs so it's a perfect "fit". Also, I rounded out the bottom side of the guitar so it doesn't slide off my knee when I'm paying sitting down. Fucking rock on!!!!

No. #02 Thrall This was the first guitar I ever made (when I was 18) I dreamt it, woke up, scribbled what I could remember into a scrapbook, and got to work. It took me 2 years, though. Some bits were hard to come by.

Thanks Sean. They don't take that long to make actually. And as for practice, I hardly play anymore. Like once a month, if that

Here's my current build - an Explorer. Gonna call it Hole for reasons that will become obvious soon. Already got most of the hardware for it - EMG HZ pickups, Epiphone tune-o-matic bridge, sharkfin tailpiece, graphite nut, Wilkinson heads, Les Paul wiring, custom scratchplate, jackplate and trussrod cover. Gonna carve dragons and shit on the surface.

Finally got to borrow my friend's Explorer so I could use it as a template. Just need to decide where the knobs will go now.
