LucSulla Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 These things are funky in the coolest of ways. I really dig the design! I can almost see Billy Gibbons or Bo Diddly playing on something this out there but familiar at the same time.
zorrow Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 That's a very nice design indeed. +1 Absolutely killer. Do you offer a V version of it?

burningyen Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Close to done. The pickguard and knobs are just placeholders, although I kinda like the knobs.
gorch Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 The Tele bridge keeps it both feet on the ground. Fantastic idea!
burningyen Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 Done. And a clip for tonal reference:Mercury Head/Kemper Tweed Pro demo clip
ArnieZ Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I like it! One little nit to pick suggestion if I may. Find some polished bolts for the neck,ss would be nice. I think it is more refined, the current bolts/screws look industrial to me.ArnieZ
gorch Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 It looks really great! The sound demo is nice too.

Sprayed by a gentleman and a scholar. It looks really great! The sound demo is nice too. Thanks! It's a fun guitar to play. I wanted to get more creative and whip out some Knopflerisms but couldn't get a good take at 3am and had to keep it simple.

velorush Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 You know, that's the way the old Danelectro pickguards were done. Fantastic job and the clip is great!
burningyen Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 In case anyone's confused, the pickguard isn't backed with a manila folder. It's sprayed with Krylon paint and then backed with aluminum shielding.
velorush Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Oops! Of course it is! Let me then revise my previous comment, to wit: You know, that's the has nothing to do with the way the old Danelectro pickguards were done. That's a really cool way to get your (tasteful) logo on there!
Boomerang~Junkie Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 BuriningYen,I really liked your guitar when I first saw it and its grown on me more each time. This appears to be a very well made, well designed (intuitively) and properly engineered guitar. I like its cleanliness of design and the fact that the overall design was largely function driven.Starting you OWN guitar company, takes stones large enough to need a wheel-barrow. Pulling it off on your first try is even more impressive - very good work on this. I truly hope you sell a crap-load of them.Do you have a pricing model on them yet that you can divulge?Thank you.
burningyen Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 If you mean how much different customization options cost above the $2k base price, no, I don't have that all worked out yet. But for the time being my philosophy has been not to charge a % markup on component changes, I just pass through whatever the added costs are. So if you ask for fancier pickups I just add the spread between my cost for the DiMarzios and whatever pickups you choose. If you ask or something that requires new CNC work or other labor, then we would have to work out what that upcharge would be. Hope that helps.
Boomerang~Junkie Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 I like it.Now added to the, "OK, now how the heck am I going to buy that guitar" list.
