MAX RUFO's Custom Guitars & Basses w/ pics!

[jazhombie]

hello there...

introducing the Scepter. hand-built by Max Rufo inspired by Abe Rivera's guitar of the same name.

price: didn't cost me a leg

high-resolution pics and vids to follow. still trying to get used to playing with a 2-inch nut and ultra-heavy gauge strings (.014 .017 .024w .032 .042 .052).

































thank you so much Mang Max for this wonderful work of art.

Thanks for supporting him bro.
Don't worry, if in case may problem sa guitar, he'll be more than happy to assist you even when your guitar's done. 

Re: the installment, I doubt he'll give that line of credit. Nadala na kasi si Mang Max sa customer/forumite from down South. He gave his trust to that person kahit na he's not fully paid yet but that person took advantage of Max's kindness. It took months before nya mabayaran and until now (technically) kulang pa rin ng P800 yung "magaling" na yun. Kung di pa sinabi sa kin ni Faceless, wala atang balak magbayad yun e.

Anyway, if you plan to pursue, you may have to wait until December kasi he has to finish muna those pending guitars from the shop. After nun, pwede na ulit.

+10000000000000

absolutely true..

 

don't abuse his kindness guys, mabait si mang max pero i don't think he will allow installment for the gtrs now, only if installment during the building of the axe pwede siguro but its a NO NO if tapos na ung gtr.

[belligerentsquirthead]

takam na takam na talaga ako magpagawa ke mang max. saang page nga ba yun mapa? lapit ko lang ke mang max kaso di ku mapuntahan.

tignan nyu yung bushido blade ko. magkano kaya aabutin to?
sana di lumagpas ng 12k =/

eto e estimate lang bro kahit lagi namin sinasabi mas safe to contact mang max first and ask for price pero i can't help to admire your design, and btw its perfect 10 in my books lol!!!

around 10-11kk siguro except for the pickups and accessories, but then again, don't take my word for it kasi si mang max pa rin ang makakasagot nyan. siguro with your 12k he can provide all the accessories, except for the pups if talagang gusto mo ng emg, then that's kinda costly too.

well dalhin mo na yan dahil marami ang nakapila sa kanya.

yung saligia is a latin word naastigan kasi ako sa meaning niya..it's about those 7 deadly sins pero pipili pa ako sa 7 kung alin yung gagamitin kong pangalan ni tuklaw hehehehe.....pag natapos na siguro idedepende ko sa itsura niya yung pangalan..sa ngayon i'm working for my experimental song this time seryosong kanta na hehehe....plano kong gumawa kasi ng 26-27 mins. epic song using my new axe...describing 7 deadly sins ng tao...
