I can't believe how amazing this process is. To anybody interested in a real custom guitar, I cannot recommend David enough. I tried many other custom companies like Keisel, and Aristides, but they are not really custom. You don't have really that many options and everything is within their parameters. However, with David was different, I was able to ask for different scales, different fret radius, hand pick the wood that will be used so that I know how the guitar wood will look throughout the process, and many more things. All this customisation, at a much better price that the afore mentioned companies. Thanks David.

Some people think pointy headstocks look like they’re stubby but I bet a headless with the rest of the strings not trimmed and hanging out can take out more eyes. And let’s face it. We squint when we tune up… you know you do a lil.

That is the almost exact shape as a Valravn Munnin, even uses the same trem they offer. Only differences I can spot are the strandberg style concave cut on the lower body and input jack under the bridge, which I wish my Valravn had. Ah, and the pu selector switch is a toggle instead of a blade-switch.

I have a few questions, if you don't mind. What CAD/CAM software ware are you using? I have been wondering about creating a setup up on CNC for doing sidedots rather than hand drilling them, but do you have a foolproof method for quickly getting the drilled holes all in one line? I take extreme care doing this step by hand, and it takes forever. Do you always use epoxy to glue on fretboards, and are you not worried about resin getting into the truss rod slot without a masking strip? Is the software you use 3D capable? I see that you are able to machine the fretboard radius, but I don't think I saw the body contours being machined. Were they done by hand? And last, how many of the tiny end mills end up breaking? I've been thinking about simply using an engraving bit to create a guideline at each fret location and then hand sawing on those lines. I feel like it would be faster. Is CNC faster for fret slots? Sorry for the barrage of questions. The guitar looks great. Thanks!
@DarkArtGuitarsАй бұрын
I use Fusion360 for CAD/CAM. I just released a video about my modeling process. It's fully 3D, I also cut the body contours but refine the neck joint by hand to get it to feel perfect after gluing in the neck. The side dots I just do by hand, it takes me like 2 minutes so just fixturing it on the CNC would take longer. I only used epoxy here because of the Richlite fretboard which isn't wood so I wasn't sure how well wood glue would work. I'm not worried about glue in the slot as I use a truss rod with a plastic sleeve, meaning no exposed moving parts (apart from the nut) With the right settings the small endmills are no problem. I think all but one I broke were while installing or otherwise by hand and not in the cut. CNC isn't faster for the slots (takes 30-40min) but it's easier and more precise for sure (plus you get hidden slots without having to bind the fretboard)

How do you call the type of finish you made on the body ? I really love the look of this guitar ! EDIT: Chaos burst stain found in the link below video !
@DarkArtGuitars2 ай бұрын
Chaos burst is not necessarily a standard term but what makes sense to me as it is a blue to orange/brown burst with an intentionally messy transition. In case your questions was about the clear coat over top that's a satin finish (a bit more shine than matte but much less than gloss).

I'm no instrument builder, but isn't the neck usually a "neck-thru" or bolted on? Can the glue alone hold the neck in place? Sorry, I'm inexperienced in this field. 😅
@DarkArtGuitarsАй бұрын
You're right that often the neck is bolted on, however that's more of a convenience and ease of manufacturing thing than strength. A proper glue joint like this will me more solid than bolts and allow me to carve the joint more aggressively to increase comfort.

How long does it take the CNC to complete the neck? The body? I always see them sped up, so curious about the actual time lapse
@DarkArtGuitars4 күн бұрын
On the old machine the body was about 30-40min per side, back of the neck maybe 30min. The new machine cuts that to 15-30min for the body per side and around 15-20min for the neck
