After a long time playing guitar, you want something special. But in Russia custom production is very expensive and very inefficient. Well, if you want to do something good, do it yourself.
Don't afraid sad voice of narrating person - Russian people has few opportunities for realize. The case took place in 2010. Initially, there was a project "Skeleton" - a stick with two mini-humbuckers, which were made in USSR. Author of video claims that it sounded good, but very specific. Author decided to use neck for something else. And he was not mistaken. Later, a guitar was made, which he called "The Cobra".
Neck is made of a single piece of wood. Truss rod was made of a regular metal spoke. But the way of planting is very interesting: author did't have a special milling machine, so he used an ordinary drill to make holes along the entire site. Drill was wrapped with a painting tape to show depth of dive. Using a chisel, an even trough was made. The whole construction is closed with a usual wooden strip. Neck is connected to body with bolts.
But author did not stop there. He made a rock climbing. This is when small roundings are made between frets. There is an opinion that this allows you to develop a greater speed game. I can't say it's true or not. But author argues about interesting feelings during the playing.
Guitar body is also interesting: it's made of four boards, each of which has gaps spaced for electronics and wires. Shielding of electronics is done using conventional foil. This design of guitar body reminded me of Killer Guitars signature model of Akira Takasaki. Strings go through the body. The fastening point is strengthened by a small metal patch.
From 6:50 author begins to play on this instrument. Korean pickups create a good sound. As you can see, making a good guitar is pretty simple, if not considering the stage of painting.
