Another use for maple - PIC HEAVY!
mullet:
That is nice. hows it sound?
Cameroo:
I think it sounds good, but it would probably sound better with someone else playing it :) At the time that I made it I was into heavy metal, and designed it for that. The long scale length (28 inches, compared to a normal guitars 25 or 26) lends itself to down-tuning for some really chunky sounding power chords. It's like a cross between a guitar and a bass. What really amazed me was the sustain it has, I'm thinking because of the neck-through design. That solid piece of maple running through the body really resonates! The sides of the body are basswood by the way.

nice looking guitar its definitely a one trick pony with no tone nobs bet it works great for metal :). a good way to add tone is adjust it on the amp or have ton nobs added to your amp ;) and yeah the neck through will help with the sustain and the tunomatic also helps since its a set bridge instead of floating :) now a very techy question how was the intonation after it was set up? my neck through took a 5 foot dive off stage on to concrete and it lived :) it was hard to watch a 2K$ guitar fall during a performance i definitely built a better guitar stand after that stupid double fork stand i bought the guitar strap caught the fork and flipped my stand hence knocking my other guitar off the other side :( well ttyl and thanx for posting :)

Beautiful work, Cam. Did the experience shun you away from ever making another one or might you be tempted into a possible commission...?
