The Scattervarius

[Rodolphe]

If I were you, I would give it a try...who knows.
and that's one of the only guitar those players can't buy as only one exists.

 

[WickedBanshee]

That guitar belongs with Warren Haynes. He would do it justice.

Musicwise. Not for a pretty picture. LOL

It does look good with a top hat, I guess cause its so classy it requires a nice brim!

Regards,

well i'm waiting on some parts for some other builds and i think i got enough leftover wood to make another scattervarius, ......so i think i will

first off i have to level off the workbench/router/planer table, it's getting a little lumpy

i put the level to the rails

and routed that baby nice and flat

i glued up some mahogany last year and it's time to use it

i use a screw on each side to hold it in place and route it flat then flipped it over and did the same

i was going for 1-3/4", two corners were 1.750 and two corners were 1.755, i got within 1/5000" flat, not bad

i also made a table for the drill press

a lot more area to work on, helps a lot

i dont have a bandsaw and i thought i'd see if i could get the body cut faster and straighter by drilling holes first

it was not to hard with the drill press

it did help stop the jigsaw blade from wondering, saved a little time and was easier to cut out

i got the template screwed on and the sun was going down so i called it a day

Great work as usual. I used the drill method for cutting my neck shape, then belt sanded it flat.....Looking foward to seeing this one...Any surprises in store?,Gold leaf, spalted Maple, onboard effects...?????

If there is a Guitar God, he has a boner right now.

 

[Ed Zeppeli]

Holy crap, how many router bits do you go through?

 

[TKOjams]

Here we go again!!

didnt get a whole lot done this weekend on this but did get it to the robosander

and routed to shape

i have glued up a bookmatched fiddleback top for it so it will be a little different from the last one, and i dont know for sure but it might be getting 12 strings maybe if i can come up with some parts, i got time to think about it

12 string would be amazing

This is possibly my favourite thread on MLP

 

[SG John]

Very cool. I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

 

[Tuya Customs]

A twelve would be something

 

[yeppedeppdepp]

+1 for the twelve string.

 

[WickedBanshee]

You know what else would kick ass??? A Scattervarius Mandolin!!!! Perhaps even with a whammy bar like the Rickenbacher mando that Mike Campbell has if ya feel like gettin a little crazy.

 

[scatter lee]

this is a pretty heavy piece of wood, very nice but heavy so i drew out what i want to cut out

then off to the drill press and drill drill drill and made a mess

then freehand routed the edges to get a nice line to put the router bit bearing against, and made a mess

then route some more, and really made a mess

then routed a wire channel

got it done and cleaned up the mess, i think i ended up with ten gallons of wood chips out of that thing, i then brushed the inside with ebony stain cuz it will have f-holes

then planed down the bookmatched fiddleback i glued up yesterday to just over 5/8"

wiped a little lacquer thinner on it to see the pattern

using the clear template

traced it out and cut it

got it glued on the body by the end of the day

 

[Caleb]

You are one badass builder, Scatter.

 

[Eissoj]

Your work is just simply awesome
