Hey nanda i would love to "DO" some stuff for u.
Just PM me ur requirements and i'll let u know.
About advertising myself i do not intend to do so since i am fully a part-time guy and have a full-time job to keep. Also i build for pure creativity and for the art sake. Hope i do not sound too "______"
Anyway i'l help u if i can.

hello there...luthier

now...if the talk about tuning machines is over.. tell the guys that it's just a fraction of a tuning problems...nobody seems to be talking about the nut, which can be a problem even bigger then tuning machines...string saddles, especially on cheaper guitars, are shitty, almost by default... strings, people, strings!!! i'm in india for seven months now, and couldn't buy a decent set of strings...so i'm gettin'em from abroad...even that way, a lot of them are old stocks, and some b grade...they just don't work right... i've been using ghs boomers for years, but these you can buy today...just don't even resemble of the old ones...DR's are sometimes okay... but i'm definitely switched to fenders...they sell shitloads of them, and stocks are mostly ok...
now...let's get serious...get me your phone no. i might need your services...planing on building a nice strat...warmoth parts...pro neck and body...well, i'd get all from there...i'd get you all the wiring instructions, wires, capacitors, hardware...all of that....just need it assembled...maybe i'd just paint it myself...don't know yet... ok...setups... as you might know, if u encountered any warmoth necks, they are really good, as they are...but, some of them, when u assemble the guitar may need some finishing touches...especially with 6100 frets, or any other big ones...i'm kinda picky about these things, so are u good with that..? i mean, really good..? i want really low action, no buzz...at all...anywhere...
did you already setup some of guitars brought from outside of india...it took me 2 months to setup my telecaster...and a month for the PRS...climate in bangalore is nice for life, but for guitars...had to readjust truss rods every two days... didn't want to sand the frets down at all, cause i may sell them, so i'll leave that to the final owner and his taste...
the one i'll be doing, i want it perfect...are u up to that..? and one more thing...after painting, it'll be a custom painted one, what abot the finish..? do you do that to..? and what do you use..?
please respond with details...thanx

 

@ vlada729
Well said about the strings saddles nut and strings. The saddle and nut problem is the major one here on indian guitars. Maybe u could try mumbai for beter strings.

And now about ur requirement. Assembling all the parts together would not be a problem. It's good that u can get all the parts from warmoth.
Again the problem would be the humidity there in bangalore. Can u get tropicalised body and neck from warmoth. And if possible get an already finished body and neck since here we get only nitrocellulose lacquer, polyurethane and shellac finishes. The finishes that i've done are all in lacquer or urethane. I'm sure u want something better than that. I have done a setup for a jackson guitar for a neighbour in Goa. Tell me what setup u want and it can be done.

Hey Luthier! Do you do artwork? If i send you a design, will you be able to get me some sort of transparent sticker or something?

 

ok.........am pretty sick of the pointless arguements...
it ends now.........or else this thread is goin.....

 

Hmmm.. That mean you are gonna stop posting??

 

Hey hindirox. No my friend i have never done artwork on any guitar but anyway send me the design or drawing and i'll tell u if it can be done by me or someone else(artist friends). PM me the design though.

@ Thanks for heads up Doc..

@ Luthier : Sory bro..

 

thanks for deleting my posts!!!!!

 

Hey hindirox don't be sorry yaar.
I have asked a friend who is a graphic artist and a kinda 'painter' if he can do any artwork on wood. He has asked for a sample piece of wood for practice. I'll be giving him some wood tommrw. Lets see what he does about it.

I want to use transparent stickers and then use laquer finish.. Thats what i want.... And i'm give you a NEW guitar for that.. So i dont want experiments on it.. LOL..

 

Hey hindirox why do u want STICKERS on ur guitar . Either get the artwork done directly on wood or airbrush it then lacquer it. Please dont put stickers on it. PM me the artwork though. I'll see if it's possible.
Stickers will look horrible and will be difficult to cover up in laquer since the lines wiill show.

Luthier

 

So this guy does Airbrush artwork?? I mentioned the sticker idea cause i thought it was my only way to get the three layers of artwork.. My artwork is a little complicated.. I'll send it across..

 

Here's the artwork.. Some ideas..

I wanted pinstriping resembling the one in the first picture on this link

The scorpion(see attachment) in WHITE colour.. I want the position to be just above the bridge.. Like as if its gonna bite the bridge off...

The Cross lies in between the two pickups....
