no signs of a bass that looks like a reverse iceman?

It's there. He's working on it too.

you mean this sir?

This belongs to a jazzer.  It's one of the guitars that we have to watch out for 'cuz it'll have engraved signs on its body & headstock.

now i remember, AFAIK it's a hybrid electric/bass guitar. the first 4 strings are electric guitar strings and the other 4 are bass strings. hindi lang ako sure sa string count  :lol:, plus alam ko custom fabricated ang bridge nito.  :-D

i don't think that's a prs copy, i can't see the headstock, pero sa picture na katabi, if that's what i think it is then it is not a prs (sa point of view ko based on the pic)

my dimensions were that of a prs se custom, flat top nga lang, so mang max has to improvise on the carvedtop for those who want one.

as for the tremonti copy i saw, hindi rin yan un. it has a 2pc mahogany body, and it's very distinct kasi ung color ng wood is darker than in the pic, plus the body contour is also exact single cut na prs look. and the neck, it was supposed to have a provison for the trussrod. in this pic, it seems like there's no trussrod provison yet.

very nice guitar bro, what exactly is it?


tama ka sir.  from the picture, you can tell that it's an unusual design. i just wanna show the beautiful maple top before the finishing touches.  now, we have something to look forward to in the next few weeks.  abangan nyo na lang! :-D  oh, it's a jazz guitar btw..

@lateralis- you're right sir!  & that jazzer is fusionenigma...  lagot ako ngayon kasi pinost ko to.  :lol:

it looks promising bro. ganda siguro nyan if maple ung body and neck!

another achievement na naman for mang max. with these kind of designs and the everyday repairs he encounter, lalong na eenhance and naiimprove ung craftsmanship ni mang max. it's good he is up to the challenge, besides he learns a lot from us din, naaaply nya ung mga natututunan nya sa ibang repairs in the course of time.

kaya nga i would say, nothing is impossible with him, mapa fabrication ng accessories to custom made and repairs, he really can make a difference, plus the price is reasonable talaga. lately nga lang lag ang trabaho dahil sa medical problem ng mother-in-law nya, plus the high volume of repairs and all. and his workplace really needs some restructuring.

btw nun nakausap ko sya on pups, he told me he has an active pups on the works. he was even contemplating on using 2 pups na magkapatong, parang double the cycle ng wires ang main concept pero 2 pups daw. i dunno if he is going to fabricate a bobbin for this pero it would look double...sounds doable naman basta si mang max!


well other than the good things he has done to my gtrs, i owe him big time in learning how to wire and solder pups. just by looking at his craft (electrician by profession), natuto din ako magsolder and magwire hehe.  :-D

 :evil:

yan na ba ung 7string mo bro, nakita ko na ung design nyan when i went there. i must say it deserves a place in mang max's top ten if there is one :evil:

Oy Vince! Maluwang na kina Mang Max! I went there a couple of weeks ago & nagulat ako haha! Pwede na magjam sabay inuman na rin!  :-D

I'm happy rin he's getting better over time. Yep, he's open din for opinions.

I'll get a couple of those pickups din Vince! I'll replace one of my guitar's pickups.
I'll ask help din how to solder properly, di kasi ko marunong & I plan to make my own patch cables para laking tipid.

makikigulo lang guys.... yung prs tremonti inspired dun, officemate ko nagpagawa, hindi sya forumite. actually its a mixture of an epiphone les paul ultra (chambered kase sya, more on the weight aspect, not so much on the tone) and obviously tremonti signature guitar sa graphics / finish. sensya na, dont know the correct guitar lingo for those. dapat may trem bridge nya kaso hindi ganon kaganda kalalabasan ng graphics so ginawa ni mang max na string through. yun, atat n nga kami makuha yung gitara. hopefully next week daw tapos na. will post pics pag ok na.
