Luckily I've got a pretty nice OFR kit laying around so besides finishing products, all I'll need to outsource is the pickup. It's a little thin and fragile right now. Needs sanding and fine work now but I'll wait till it's glued up.

The blank wasn't thick enough to get those deep enough, so they'll likely be the surface I'll use to route them full depth by hand. So next phase was neck, pickup and trem routes. I considered another pass with a 1/8" ballnose but the simulation didn't show any appreciable increase in detail.

It's a Shapeoko 3XXL with an upgrade lead screw Z axisįirst phase of fine carving. Either of the two would suit me tone-wise. I *think* I've got a suitable piece of mahogany to do that, if not, it'll be poplar instead. Top came out ~3/4" thick, so the back will be ~1" thick. My CNC clearance is not great, so I was weary of carving a 2" thick blank, so i decided to carve the top then I'll glue it to the back.
Luckily I had a billet of maple that was suitable (and ironically, reclaimed from a church rec room! ). I'm on a pretty much non-existent budget right now, so the plan was to use whatever I have in stock. I left a few detail to be done by hand just out of not knowing how well the program would be able to carve them but after seeing it in action, I might add more detail to the model if I did one again. So the goal was something halfway in between. ESP did a remake a few years back (that Lynch himself plays often now) that's actually a much better guitar with a much nicer relief but a little too real vs. Spec-wise, I was looking to get this very close to the original J. Spent a week learning the program and sketched up a pretty decent Skull and Bones carve.

With all that free time, I got a copy of Vectric Aspire, which is more sign-making oriented, which makes it better at 3D carving. Have been considering a Lynch-esque build for a while but no practical way to do it in Fusion 360. Lynch is absolutely my #1 favorite guitar player of all time even before that, and I also had a copy of 'Nightmare on Elm Street 3' as a kid, so THAT guitar was always prominent to me.Īnyway, fast forward to COVIDpocalyse and I've had free time on my hands. I think I told the story a few years back about the time I got a chance to play the 'Skull and Bones' back stage at a Lynch Mob show (~2004?). Forgive the copy-pasta as I try to get this thread caught up to date. The ESP Skulls & Snakes includes a Floyd Rose Original bridge and Gotoh tuners, and comes with a high-quality hard shell case and a Certificate of Authenticity from ESP.Paging Out Ace. It's a high-output pickup with ceramic magnets and custom wind, with all the muscle for power chords and easy access to harmonic squeals, while remaining transparent enough for the “not quite clean but not exactly dirty” tones that George employs. This pickup was specifically designed to George’s specification for a powerful and dynamic response, providing the harmonics, dimension, and firepower that George’s style demands. Its sound, as specified by George, is powered by an ESP Designed single-coil SH-100 pickup in the neck position, and a custom Seymour Duncan "The Hunter" pickup in the bridge spot.
Made by hand by the famous luthiers of the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, it features a comfortable maple body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.

One of our earliest Signature Series models, the Skulls & Snakes was designed by George as a guitar that could match his mind-blowing playing style. The ESP Skulls & Snakes is an excellent representation of the creativity that happened in the 1980s when George and ESP became connected. As ESP's first Signature Series artist, George Lynch brought a unique and powerful vision to the world of custom-designed guitars.
