on 3 d mahogany, maple, and walnut and on the other it was popular. this is the back of the neck.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Very cool. So mahogany, maple, and walnut make up the body and headstock? And you put poplar in there?

What wood did you use for the fretboard?

And what types of pickups did you use?

 

[Mr Natural]

Impressive!


You should be proud of your work.

The sunburst guitar was made of poplar because I wasn't confident that it would turn out well so I didn't invest in expensive wood and the pickup and accessories are off a epiphone les paul I had on hand.
On the 3 d guitar I am using Seymour Duncan SH-1 '59 pickups. The gotoh 510 bridge and tailpiece and most all of the hardware from stewart macdonald guitar supply.

Thanks, I am trying to create outside the box. It is hard to be original with the thousands of styles and designs out there.

True but homemade instruments can easily outclass the best guitars out there if done right. Good for you man
