hackman Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hey everyone! I'm writing you all from Phoenix, AZ. Been here since the end of august learning how to build and repair guitars. I know this is off topic but I'll be short. I have been in touch with many of you and a lot of you have been the coolest people I've come to meet. Sharing the same passion for music as me. So I thought I'd share some pictures of the guitars I've been building. I'll be back working at the warehouse in february and I could not be more excited to come back home and balance my time between the vinyl, my band (Only Thunder), and making guitars. Enjoy! The guitars http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=1413452&albumId=1816903 The band www.myspace.com/onlythethunderrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HA! yeah, that guitar is going to be pretty funny once it's done. I'm building for Mikie from Suburban Home Records very own band The Revenge. All that stuff was his idea. It's pretty fun seeing it come to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more than happy to. I won't be able to do so until summer of next year. Need to get a shop going and all the tools and what not. Thanks for taking the time to look at the stuff!

voodooramen Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 This reminds me I never ended up building a modified SG Junior like I wanted to! Major props for the quality on those guitars man, they look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkrock Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 These are pretty killer guitars. I bet it'll be hard putting so much time into building one of these and then letting go of it, at least for the first few you sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante3000 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Dude...Not to be gross but in the picture in the acoustic, is that dude wearing a thong or is that just a jungle of pubic hair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackman Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Dude...Not to be gross but in the picture in the acoustic, is that dude wearing a thong or is that just a jungle of pubic hair? He is wearing a thong. It's pretty gross. My instructors are not too stoked that I put that in there. But the head instructor of the acoustic guitars is kind of a douche so I did it to piss him off. I'm not really planning on making acoustic guitars for awhile. It takes a lot more skill and tools and patience to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it'll be hard putting so much time into building one of these and then letting go of it, at least for the first few you sell. The darker guitar with the white binding is already sold and it is 10 times better than the one I built for myself. So yes, it is already hard to let go of that one. Although the whole glowing fetus thing isn't really my style so....but it is funny and it's what he wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
