John's Doublecut

[Schroeder]

I did a little demonstration for Will today on how I carve bodies. I completed John's top carve, belly carve and roundover on the back edge. Check out the gallery on the website (Picture #37 of the Shop Photos). Really a gorgeous piece of maple!! Nice selection Johnny Boy!!! More photos coming...

[JohnnyBoy]

SPEECHLESS!!! I'm sitting here at work with my jaw hanging open! Thanks so much for posting that Jason, you just made my day. The figure is unbelievalbe and exactly what I was aiming for. I can't think of anything else to say except You Are the Man!!!!

John

Sweet wood John! Awesome to watch it come to life as Jason was carving it. I was truly amazed!

Ok Jason, find one like that for my jumbo SC!

Looks great! She's really coming along, thanks for the update Jason! I have the same question as Tommy, can you countersink the knobs?

John

[vangit]

Wow, yours and Tommy's look fantatic Jonn

[Schroeder]

You bet John. I will be in touch regarding your top stain color.

[Schroeder]

Hey John,
I emailed you some pics of top colors for you to comment on. Also re: the inlays. Almost there!!
Jason

[Schroeder]

OK Johnny Boy! Inlays on the headstock and 12th fret are done. 12th fret inlay is rippled abalone with paua and aluminum in the center breaking it up. Radius is done on the fretboard. Getting close!

[JohnnyBoy]

Yeah!! Looks beautiful Jason! I love how the 12th fret worked out, looks sweet! Man, she's really coming together. Thanks for the update!

John

[Shadscbr]

Looking great John!!

I love the 12th fret inlay. The figure in your "S" looks very similar to the figure in my ""7"...mmmm flamed inlays :)

Shad

[JohnnyBoy]

OK everyone, I've got a pretty cool story about the 12th fret inlay. Jason was working on an original take-off of the Schroeder "S" logo for me and decided to do some research on my last name, which in its native German means "butcher". So as a connection to the origin of my surname he designed the butcher's cleaver that you see pictured above separating the S wings. The blade of the knife is made of aluminum, the handle is paua and the S wings are rippled abalone like Shad's "7". I was expecting an original design but to have Jason put such effort and consideration into it makes it truly special. Jason, thank you again so much! Gents, we are lucky to have a builder that puts such heart into his work!

John

[vangit]

That is very cool. Gotta love when a little something extra is added to your guitar.

[Will]

That's way cool! Nice touch guys!

[Schroeder]

John,
Here is a pic of the VERY rough carve of the neck. Pretty ugly at this point but man does Braz RW smell nice!! This is actually a very physical procedure. There is usually some sweat and a bit of blood that is put into each carve!!

http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/john%20neck%20carve.jpg


here is a pic of your neck carve completed (top). Gorgeous piece of Braz!!! I have since drilled the tuner holes. Pics to come... Love that limba back too!!

http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/neck%20carves.jpg

[Schroeder]

Here is how I mark the bridge locations. I extrapolate the outer edge of the neck to the body and find the center point. If all goes well, this is precisely at the center joint of the top. If you look closely you can see the pencil mark on the center joint at the midpoint of the bridge location. Then I adjust for intonation and mark the holes for the bridge bolts.

http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/john%20bridge%20location.jpg

And here I have trimmed the end of the fingerboard and neck heel to allow for the neck pickup. You can still see some tool marks that I will sand out.

http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/john%20neck%20trim.jpg

[JohnnyBoy]

Looks great Jason! The shop must be very busy these days. I love the shot of the neck carve in progress. Thanks for the updates, awesome!!

John

[guitarnyc]

that is amazing...that is what the neck looks like before you hand carve it...how many hours does it take to get a neck from start to finish ?

that is amazing...that is what the neck looks like before you hand carve it...how many hours does it take to get a neck from start to finish ?

Too many!!! But at this point, I would not have it any other way. I generally do a rough shape, then begin taking off the wood near the heel and behind the net, then gradually refin and refine and refine until it feels right. And I keep coming back until I work out all of the small flat spots and make sure it is round and feels comfortable. It is very gratifying work though!!

[vangit]

Great pics. I love looking at the sh*t. Too cool.

[Schroeder]

Here are some pics of John's body coming to life!!! John wanted a darker and browner Tiger Eye-ish color. Here is how it happened.

Here is the body with all woodwork complete.
http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/john%20stain1.jpg

And here is the first stain coat, a very dark blackish brown. You can see areas of the top that are lighter because they have dried a bit before the photo was taken.

http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/john%20stain2.jpg

[Schroeder]

The next step is to let the finish dry and sand it back to reveal the lighter figure. This is a weird angle but I am in the process of sanding here. You can see some very dark spots that still need sanding. If you can't tell, this is a very tedious process that one can easily mess up!! The sanding has to be very even.


http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/john%20stain3.jpg

Here it is sanded and ready for the last color stain coat.

http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/john%20stain4.jpg


And here is the completed stain after coming back with a special cocktail of brown/red/yellow and a bit of the original stain color.

Woah! Way to go Jason! You really know how to make 'em quilts pop right out! :eek:

Amazing guitar Jason!

That's Tiger's eye looks amazing!

[JohnnyBoy]

:eek: :eek: :eek:

YES!!!!!!!!! Wow, what a way to start a Sunday morning! Logged on with my cup of coffee and see this! Jason, this is perfection. Exactly what I was looking for!! I am so excited I can't describe it. You nailed it; dead on, bullseye, bingo, on the money, etc! The evolution shots of the staining process are really cool; the sanding part must be nerve-wracking. It's hard to believe how the figure pops during the final stages. I couldn't be happier with the way my project is coming out Jason, it's all falling together just as I hoped. Incredible work!

John

:cool:

[DrPCR]

looks damn sweet. Great job

[mklein86]

Looks great Jason! +1 to all the comments above...it really is interesting how much the figure pops when finish is applied! Congrats!

Not someone elses incredible dream but mine! Jason this is just, well, perfect. You continue to amaze me. Those of us who chose to have you build our guitars have hit the jackpot! Thanks so much for these pics. I just got your phone message, I'll call you tomorrow around noon your time if that's good for you. I've gotta look at these shots some more! :D :D

And then some! I can't get enough of those shots. I'm real happy with the back too; I was psyched when I saw how Stu's came out because I think our backs came from the same piece of limba.

[vangit]

Hey John, how far are you from the City?

[JohnnyBoy]

Hey John, how far are you from the City?

Stu, I'm about 3 hours north of NYC. I'm giving Jason my pickup choice today, how do you like the Duncans so far? I thinking about a set of pearly gates or a PG/bridge and Alnico II/neck combo.

John

[vangit]

John

Hey John, so far I really like the SD’s. I only owned one Brazilian neck guitar prior to this one, so I really didn’t know what pups would work well with my Schroeder specs. Jason’s advice was to go with pups I am familiar with and we could take it from there. I always liked SD 59\JB combo for ash bodied maple necked guitars. Jason helped me a lot by listening to the clips on the SD web site. Jason’s ear is MUCH more in tune than mine. For my playing preferences we went the Alnico II neck and SH-5 Custom on the bridge. They both sound very full when untapped and tap very well. With my electronics, I can tap them independently of each other so you can really hear it when one taps. So far so good. I’m currently in the market for a new amp. So if they need tweaking, there are many pick-up winders that can tweak them.

[JohnnyBoy]

Stu, I talked to Jason yesterday and we were pretty much on the same page regarding pickups as well; go with the known and take it from there. I ended up going with a similiar setup, I'll have an Alnico II neck and Pearly Gates bridge. It must be cool with the tapping abilities on your setup. It's really getting close for me now!

[tequilaboy85]

With a BRW neck I love how Haeussel pickups sound.
I've tried three guitars with a BRW neck and Haeussel pickups and they sounded really good.
I like the Haeussel more with BRW than with a mahogany neck.

On my second Schroeder I think I'll go either with haeussel or WCR

[Schroeder]

Gold hardware
Bone nut
Brazilian rosewood knobs and backplate
Stainless Steel frets

Jason I am floored! I can't believe how beautiful it looks, beyond my expectations. Everything has come together perfectly and it looks better than I could ever imagine! The pictures are sweet, I love the setting. This has been such a great experience, it's kinda sad the journey is almost over. Better start thinking of #2! :D :D

John

[vangit]

Real excited for you John! We're getting closer to having our Tri-State Schroeder jam. Tommy and I are hooking up again on Thursday with Schroeders in hand! :)

[Schroeder]

John,
I sent you the tracking info, hope you received it. Should be there Thursday! Ya, the guitar cuts really well. The attack is largely from the ebony board. The overall tone is very balanced and fat. If you notice too, when I did the Pink Floyd solo, I did the 2 1/2 step bend with no fretting out. Then with the note still ringing out I downbend and then upbend another full step and still have a note ringing out. I wanted to show that the fretwork was done properly!! Anyway, I wish I had spent a little more time with it after it was done but maybe you can report back on how it sounds through other gear! Have fun John and let us know when you get it!

Arrived today safe and sound! It has totally blown away all my hopes and expectations. I have to agree that the pics don't even do it justice. From the second I opened the case I've been amazed. The workmanship and attention to detail is phenominal in all regards. Best of all, I truly bonded with this instrument the moment I played the first notes, a connection I've never felt with a guitar before. That is the final icing on the cake! I'm so happy right now I can't describe it. To everyone in the queue, believe me it will be a great experience when your build is done; Jason is The Man folks! It's getting late here, I'll post pics and a full review later. Thanks to everyone for all the congrats and compliments. Jason I don't know how to thank you for such a great experience, you are a true craftsman in every sense. I'll call you tomorrow morning to thank you "in person".

Hi all- Just watching the vids of Jason "demo"ing your guitar john-- what did you use for your neck pickup? Whatever it is, it is AWESOME clean.

It sure was a Duncan Alnico II. I really loved the sound of this guitar in the neck position. Had a clarity of a Strat but much more beefy and fat. Like Stevie Ray without the 13s!!!

Just see that I missed your call Bill. I am by my phone now if you wanted to give me a ring.
