PGM 7 Prototype

[EKG]

Thanx!

I have spent countless hours on making the proper jigs and templates and a ton "o" money on tooling to be able to make them consistently

With a little commitment and elbow grease, you can make a body.


OK...OK! I hear you guys about the JS-7
Let me find a scrap piece of wood to play with and see what I can do ;-)

(PS- is is gonna be possible to do one of these with a quilted top? i know a veneer isn't an option with those curves, so it'd have to be awfully thick... Not sure if the effect on the tone would be worth the price though, i've never played a half-maple guitar

Couple of progress pics ;-)

Wow Eddie... looks fantastic... can't wait 'till you slap the f-holes on there!

Nice, Eddie! When I get one of those from you I'll have to see about Jeremy taking the neck that I have and turning the 12th fret inlay into an F-hole shaped inlay.

Nice stuff, Eddie! Are those pickups cream? It's hard to tell in the pics. Are you eventually going to make a full-blown PGM7 with a reversed headstock?

[EKG]

The pups are white...I had them laying around...I would prefer cream colored, though.

Yes, I would very much like to make a reversed headstock model. What I will do is try and make one for this and replace this neck. This is the PGM7 Guinea Pig ;-)

Something looks a little odd about that body with the neck in... though i think it's just the camera angle and the fact it has no bridge, cause the shots of just the body look fine...
