Handmade headless 6 string electric travel / mini guitar project
Description
I personally purchased, worked and finished the woods to build this guitar but I was too inexpert to make a job well done, so I left this project apart for almost 10 years and now decided to get rid of it. Even if the guitar looks like finished, I’m selling it as a project as there’s work that needs to be done to turn it into a playable guitar.The guitar was originally meant to be a 27” baritone Blackmachine look-a-like but after messing up the neck (that was sold apart), I’ve now added a pre-made headless neck to turn the guitar into a standard 25.5” scale headless model.
The body is made of two pieces african mahogany with a black korina top, finished with black acrylic paint and epoxy resin (needs a refinish as it’s uneven and badly done now). The neck is a one piece maple with a 24 frets ebony fretboard and white binding on the sides. Frets are a bit sharp so they need some work too.
Neck, pickup and bridge are all unbranded and bought from eBay. The bridge and nut are locking the strings well and the guitar holds the tuning really well.
The pickup was tested on another guitar, it works and sounds good, but I didn’t solder it well on this one (or I suspect that the jack input is not working) and therefore the guitar doesn’t make a sound if connected to an amp.
Selling at this price just considering the materials and work costs. I will not accept lowball offers.
Selling as it is, no returns will be accepted as the description explains well the status of the instrument. For any other information please feel free to contact me before purchasing it.
