GOSH !!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy ! I didn't even know that it was posted !

JASON YOU DA MAN ! :D

Dark binding would indeed look great on it :)

[vangit]

wow that just looks cool. Nice choice Chun

[JohnnyBoy]

Another thumbs up here, that looks great!

John

[lookslikemeband]

ALL limba?? Coooool!!! Wonder if it's going to sound: Great, or Fanstastic?? :)

[Will]

The flame in the limba is pretty cool. Dark binding would just look so good with that limba.

[Shadscbr]

All limba sounds cool, can't wait to see it :)

Shad

[Benster]

Yeah.. maybe some rosewood binding.. or even brown tortoiseshell binding would be killer!

[woody]

Good one Chun!
I vote for none binding though.

[Schroeder]

This is not the most exciting pic but it shows the way the rabbit is cut into the top so I have a guide when I carve it.

[jay5]

As an amature luthier I really appreciate all the great pics Jason! I would really like any advice or further insight into your top carving procedure; tools, technique etc...

[Chun13]

COOL COOL ! :-D

I love the step by step pics, more Jason, please ! :-D

What kind of density does Limba wood have? What is the tonal characteristics of that wood? I'm going to have guitar built and am curious about the combinations of the tonal woods. I know my preference will have a quilted maple top but the rest I'm going to have to be schooled on.

[Schroeder]

Ready to carve! The rabit and face angle are complete and it is ready for the carve. http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/Chun%20SC/chun%20face%20angle.jpg

[vangit]

Sweeet! I love an all limba body. Looks great.

[Chun13]

WOOOOOO ! Too cool !

[Schroeder]

Here is your inlay Chun. It is resting on your fingerboard (not inlaid yet). We are thinking of doing a silver (aluminum) outline to offset the black on black.

Here is the pic of your body carved from a little bit ago... More to come!

[Chun13]

WOUHOUUUUUUUUU !

Jason ! You've made my day! Awesome!

And I kinda like the idea of having both small inner spots as my 12th fret marker :-D

[Shadscbr]

Great inlay choice Chun! Great minds think alike...i have a YY at the 12th fret of my Heatley hollowbody. The two dots work great as fretmarkers :)

Looks sweet!

Shad

[vangit]

Awsome Chun. Love the choice of all Limba, and I have a YY on my arm :)

[Chun13]

Life is all about balance, and we, as human and supposely more intelligent beings than animals, are supposed to know what it takes to keep our world free. May the Yin and Yang symbol reminds everybody how fragile a balance can be, music being the best way to share our feelings !

Thanks for your support guys !

[Schroeder]

Great progress on your guitar today Chun!! Here is your body completed...

http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/Chun%20SC/chun%20body%20complete.jpg

Here is the neck on the body for a feel of what the guitar will look like...
http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/Chun%20SC/chun.jpg

And here are a couple of pics of the yin-yang symbol on the fretboard. It is onyx and white pearl with an aluminum ring surrounding it. I learned this little trick from Joe Driskill that if you leave a bit of the fingerboard exposed in the fret slot, you reduce the risk of shattering your inlay material when you fret the guitar. This bit of the fingerboard will be covered by the fret. I re-radiused the board after completed the inlay to sand the inlay flat with the finerboard. It woud need to be fin sanded prior to fretting so you can still see the 80 grit sanding scratches.

And one more...

[Chun13]

Waow!

I'm really speechless,it's getting cooler and cooler everyday !! Thanks Jason!

[vangit]

Man I love that inlay. Would love to get that.........Great choice.

[Schroeder]

Here are some photos of the inlay process.

The initial cavity is cut:
http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/Chun%20SC/inlay/chun%20inlay1.jpg

The center piece is fit and the outer routes are complete. Looks pretty rough at this point! You can see the paper still superglued to the top of the inlay itself that was used as a guide for cutting it out:
http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/Chun%20SC/inlay/chun%20inlay3.jpg

All the shell and onyx are fit here with room left for the aluminum ring:
http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/Chun%20SC/inlay/chun%20inlay4.jpg

The outer rings are in place and ready to be glued:
http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/Chun%20SC/inlay/chun%20inlay6.jpg

[Schroeder]

I actually flat sanded the inlay at this point and then had to widen the slot where the middle aluminum pieces would go. I wanted to make sure that the aluminum was in line after all the pieces were in place.

http://www.schroederguitars.com/photos/Chun%20SC/inlay/chun%20inlay7.jpg

And after the initial flat sanding (using a radius beam):

[Schroeder]

Flat sanding the inlay is one of the most gratifying processes because this ugly mess of uneven metal, wood, glue, paper, shell, stone becomes uniform and almost perfect. It is similar to the satisfaction of mowing a lawn!! Only you don't have to re-level an inlay in a week!! :D

[vangit]

Thanks for the pics Jason. It's a real art form doing that by hand.

[Shadscbr]

very cool progress pics :)

Shad

[Chun13]

Oh yeah ! These are great progress pictures! Keep 'em coming :)

[guitarnyc]

wow that is too cool to see the entire inlaying process and on such a nice inlay !

Very cool stuff. Limba is one of my favorite woods for guitars.

[Quinny]

This guitars is already screaming TONE TONE TONE!! Chun, what pickps and switching are you having? Looks so cool....

Q.

[Chun13]

Waow! I'm Speechless, it looks awesome! Regarding the pick ups I'm not really decided yet except that it's gonna be zebra's :). Regarding the controls, 2 volumes 1 tone, push pull for coil splitting and 3 way toggle swithc for pick up selection.

Can't wait for it :)

[Shadscbr]

Looks fantastic Chun! The inlay came out great, and i love the flamed limba...it's going to be a tone monster for sure :)

Shad

[guitarnyc]

HOLY ****!!!!

I'm so happy about the way it turned out!

Jason, I'm LOVING it!

(tehre's just a little but), do you think it might be possible to use Ebony Tuners instead of Metal ones?

It's incredible how you caught the guitar I had in mind!

THANK YOU!

[Shadscbr]

Great choices Chun, i love it :)

Shad

[Benster]

do you think it might be possible to use Ebony Tuners instead of Metal ones?


Chun, if you don't want those nickel tuner buttons, may i have them? pretty please? ;)

[Chun13]

Chun, if you don't want those nickel tuner buttons, may i have them? pretty please? ;)

We'll ask Jason if he can just switches them :-)

[bazguitarman]

Ebony buttons would be totally sweet. I love that look on a natural finished guitar.

Every time I look at this guitar I hear thick, thick tone in my head. It`s gonna be a monster for sure.

I have to apologize about the dust from the buffing wheel in the photos! I had a couple of places to spot buff after assembly and the wheels are notoriously fuzzy. I usually look like Santa Claus when I am done!
:D

[Chun13]

I've received the guitar yesterday, haven't had the occasion to play it plugged but so far incredible bond with her, plays just effortlessly like you said!

Thank you soooo much !

[Schroeder]

Awesome Chun!! Please let me know how it is going and give me as much feedback as you are willing to give! :D
Jason

[Chun13]

Hi Jason, Elizabeth,,

It's been more than a year that I've got the baby now, and quite frankly, it is the Best guitar I've ever owned ! Right up there with the Baker n°24 I've got.

Sound is thick but clean, a lot of dynamics and warmth, the clean sound can by crystal clear and with the distortion, waow, unleash the best !

Thank you for building me my dream guitar !

Chun

[Elizabeth]

Hey Chun,
Good to hear from you! Glad your guitar is treating you nicely.
Love to see some pictures of it being played... or a video? :)
