THE MAKING OF A CUSTOM FLYING V (eve guitars)

[GibsonsSGFreak]

i ddont like the headstock but nice guitar at all

[dorkdoll]

well done excelent

[fozzlebrush1]

the neck/fretboard didnt seem to have any angle to it and was fairly low to the body. How was the action? cause i noticed you didn't have a picture of that in there.

[soulbattlefield]

awesome vid, can you tell how to build one for my own? do you have a vid explaining step by step?

[Alangsar]

я также высверливал выемку под звучки)))

[brillodelagua]

nice job bro!

[m0rgulash]

i do have one question tho... does the fretboard have a radius? or is it flat?

[pantalones222]

We were born to fly- Scorpions

[pantalones222]

@spsigvee wow thanks dude i want 2 buy some black ones to put all black hardware on my white guitar

[666SHADOWDIED]

@spsigvee thanks dude

u have advice on how to take off the stock ferrules and put the new ones in?

[ApathethicJustice]

@spsigvee how much did you spend while doing this guitar? I didnt know how inlays were inserted in a gutiar, i always though theyn were like tiny jewel type things and the make wholes in the fretboard haha

[nicccist]

@666SHADOWDIED pick up



[brasileirorusso]

Scorpions!

[dababoe]

this looks really nice,but does it sound as good as it looks?

[TonyThrash94]

Hm.... A flying V with a reversed Explorer headstock... nice 8)

[cam01235]

hes a really good luthier so much work..hey i hate those little trolling smart arses to..haha good post dude looks great

[lighteningboy]

Great build

[AM13226]

yo! how did you make the SP logo?

[spsigvee]

@AM13226 I cut the E off

[m0rgulash]

@spsigvee

[JavierXdrums]

name of that song ?

[kx718]

hahaha 0:40 nice hockey stick

[Fatweasel7]

dude thats sweet where did you get the fretboard and frets?

[AugustinApostol]

Ugly guitar.

[locohellraiser]

why didnt you make a neck through?

[RichStark412]

like what You did-- but having to listen to that soundtrack made it unbearable.

[Mr101395]

how did you route out the connector hole between the pickup and the volume pots

[usernameunsername]

@Mr101395 just drill a hole on an angle with a really long drill bit

[bmxchimp]

Did you buy the body and neck? Cus i wanna make a guitar but I dont know if I should make my own neck and guitar or buy it pre-made.

[Motopsycho96]

@bmxchimp There's a DIY guitar at amazon dude, two kits if I remember correctly, I would buy it, if I myself was a carpenter or knew a damn about building guitars.

[bmxchimp]

@Motopsycho96 Haha. Alright thanks man!

[Motopsycho96]

@bmxchimp No prob dude, keep in mind that those kits aren't from any recognized brand, so u don't get good humbuckers or tuners, so I would recommend u to buy a pair of Duncans or EMG's and a couple of Grover's

[bmxchimp]

@Motopsycho96 Right that makes sense. Thanks again.

[Motopsycho96]

@bmxchimp U welcome bro :).

[Mr101395]

@bmxchimp go to warmoth.com they have neck and body's and everything else you would need to build a guitar

[bmxchimp]

@Mr101395 Alright. I'll check that out, thanks man

[SilentDestruction900]

Set neck?

[zeldanut08]

You did a really nice job! I wish i could do that haha. beautiful V, well done.

[TableWolfMusic]

What? He didn't play it! I wanted to see him play it!

[KissFan1997]

dude, I WANT ONE OF THOSE SERIOUSLY! :D

Nice JOb!

[airheadoo]

where can i find the stickers for the inlays?

[rockster07]

@airheadoo Those ain't stickers, man, those are what the inlays look like before you inlay them. I'm sure you could buy some inlay stickers though, but idk if they come in the Gibson style blocks like that. Just google it man. lol

[Mikolajkiciak]

how much did it cost?

[alexis221woodworks]

Nice check out some of my builds

[slashlp118]

i would have done a 3x3 headstock but then again play les pauls

[gullywoots]

Very inspiring indeeed. You should post a video of yourself playing it =)

[conor1148]

I just wanted to say, this inspired me to do my first guitar build. about 2.5 years ago actually. thank you so much.

[brady5991]

k if you make a set neck or a through neck guitar you always use the same wood as the body especially if yur not gunna paint it and why did you put that gay ass inlay at the bottom of the fret board? you should chop it off it wrecks the hole appearance of the guitar if you did chop it off you could have put another pickup in the neck position but other than that sweet guitar

[vampire6199]

hi i've been playing guitar for about a year now and i've decided to make a flying V, the only problem i have is i'm not sure about the dimensions what did you use?

[cjpatterson21]

That headstock is F*cking massive. I love it.

[Lucifix74]

Nice work. Ugly as fuck headstock tho.

[rusty802]

nice job man

[Vospidrota]

форма какая то дерьмовая.. простите.. Не, ну реально! - не могли чтои поизящней, поагрессивней сделать..

[baseball3796]

dude can u make me an acoustic?!?!?!?!?!

[MakarovD]

an ugly shape

[tascouts120]

Not sure about the headstock

[TomyTrackmastertrain]

how much if you were to sell it?

[metalicman57200]

the head isn't the right shape

[DowntownTB13]

cool, its really nice. i like how on the fret board at the bottom you put the big inlay in place of a pick up!!!! it takes up a lot of empty space to make it look nice!!!

[ryudragon12]

perfect

i want one....or two

[AirgunAddict256]

do you have your fingerboards made for you, or do you make them as well? cause those are awesome inlays on that fretboard.

[R4z0R229]

song name pls?

[metalmillita666]

sorry.........this is fuck ugly

[THEfender1998]

GOOD JOB MAN

[ethanstringworks]

how did you geet the back plate on before you put on the pickup?

[KissFan1997]

Sure , i want one ! :D Was it hard to do that guitar ?? I'm thinking of building one myself

[tfk3160]

Nice job and nice pictures thanks

[likehell1]

We don't need no steenking neck pickup!

Why is the input jack where it is though?

[Cerybros]

not a neckthrough....gross =/

[dornerd]

How dare you, shit is better than neckthrough

[jemshredder666]

no i dont want one

[DavidW213]

Looks awesome, whats with the massive inlay about though?

[ScienceRyan]

Sweet!  Check out the one I just built

[rastusthecat]

Wow, nice work.

[ZepIV]

that's pretty sick. I'm diggin' the Mr. Scary reverse headstock... very 80's! I think that Kramer should be the company making a V like that... I'd try it out for sure.

[MattRing]

Can someone please let me know what this song is called.  Many thanks, Matt.

[DeathByMurdero0o]

we were born to fly, by the scorpions

[KvSwooo]

looks like the bastard child of a king v, RR1, Explorer and a hockey stick

[MaizatulAmirah]

what woods were u using?

[Trivium0rulz12]

That is utterly vile...

[garofalo92]

not bad, but it would have been allot better if you had a second pickup and a diffrent style of headstock, urs looks like a hockeystick lol

[cyanidde]

what a gay music

[CrissCoverdrive]

well good job but i dont like the bridge "Gibraltar" and u have only 1 humbucker right?

[mikem376]

ugly.

jackson Vs own

[postaldude2250]

I have a Jackson King V. What do you think about the Y2KV? It looks like this dude's guitar. I think it's awesome as I would never be able to create such a masterpiece.

[mikem376]

ya thats cool

[JordanMcC321]

No

Thanks anyway

[xXMeTalZXx]

his right it does need a paintjob like red and black tribal!

[ArtWithRob]

nice but needs some paint.

[noangels]

Thats a wide looking fret board,good artisan skills there:)Bet she has big fat tone

[skinny3600]

Nice job your friend did :D

What did he make the body out of?

looks like a peach tree bark body i saw once :D

[spsigvee]

I'd take that more seriously if you could spell.

[Deathxify]

You pwned him

[guitarnick914]

lol nice

[RevisedTV]

@lostrcg not if he trys to mass produce them and sell them on the market

[snickers763]

@lostrcg hy did yoi kno peple dot take u seros wen yuo cat spill jeez learn to spell and he called the guitar eve not esp ltd

[KingMarduk9279]

wow

[Drokthemetalband]

hey dumbass spsigvee! there is no way that maple is darker than mahogany it looks more like the body is light mahog. and the neck is just traditional mahogany. no offense but GET YOU WOOD STRAIGHT! (please no one make any sexual comments about that!)

[spsigvee]

hey dickhead drokthemetalband, the earlier photo's in the set are indeed a mahogany neck, the spec was changed halfway through the build,hence a maple neck in the finished guitar. A simple question would have been sufficient, the insults from a 15 year old prick were not required. Have a nice day.

[usernameunsername]

@Drokthemetalband you do realise there is such thing as dark maple?

[ht448]

@Drokthemetalband

Lol you got pwnd

[ht448]

i want one

[pacheks]

what wood is that?

[spsigvee]

mahogany body, maple neck, and ebony fretboard.

[jfkdjfd]

whats the song? good guitar. how much did it cost you to buy all of the stuff for it? and what wsood did you use?

[spintopyoyoman]

The song is "We were born to fly" on the Scorpions' new album

[Bluesist92]

:O Naughty! thats the ESP logo there using there! Haha cool guitar:) i love that headstock but i think the body is genuinely a little to broad.

Sexy Shred tool!

[spsigvee]

my initials are sp so when I saw the esp logo lying around I thought I have to do it!

[Bluesist92]

haha:P fair enough:D hope your enjoying your finished guitar:P

[nitemare2980]

sorry but wrong head stock

[LightWillIgniteUsAll]

It's his guitar, he can do what he wants.

[AXGUITARS]

cool guitar!!

[Jinahuya]

Glued the neck vertically?

Isn't very fragile?

It gotta be weak! oO

[crimsom13]

badass song choice dood. 5/5

[TheGuitarHero112]

i like the triangular neck better

[talkingmooseantlers]

WTF are you talking about? Does you means teh headstock?

[alexkooy]

the body looks abit big but nice work

[spsigvee]

being a single pickup and extending the fretboard it gives that illusion, it is actually standard dimensions.

[Stratboy999]

Looks great!

[WhiteSabbath21]

the neck looks a little fat but other than that looks awesome & prolly plays awesome

[Bullet4MyValentine82]

Your friend made a guitar in 2 and a half minutes !!!

[spsigvee]

hahaha, yep, he's that good!

[kommerog]

hey^^ just a quick question. hehe how did you drill the channel for the pickup to the controll cavity (ive tried but faild twice) ^^

[AlexPanagis]

I don't really like the shape for a V guitar. It's too round for my taste but after all it's your guitar. Play like hell!

[spsigvee]

I have a jackson rr for my pointier needs lol

[TyrannyStudios]

Great job man!

[86Mastro]

Great job! 10+

[kuzyaka88]

I'll soon order custom flying V too in our local firm... But mine will be Gibson-like (1958)

[spsigvee]

yeah, 58 v's are pure class, always liked them.

[ht448]

i wont one thats insane you have grate woodwork skills i would get one

[rickenboi11]

the chorus sounds a lot like metallica

[BMXBobdazzler]

hmmmmmmmmmm

not pointy enough

[micko4ever]

Scorpions... NICE!

[Teutonic1250]

this doesent sound like the scorpions

[BakerSkater1995]

thats because its their new stuff,

[tcherassi1]

no i dont want one ....its not even painted

[kevin89060]

First off it's stained, and if you didn't like the guitar then don't get one everyone is voiced to their own opinion, my only question is can you make your own guitar? No... Can you sit there and wait week, months, a year for something set for your needs? No... So your comment of saying "no i dont want one ....its not even painted" was a waste of my time for your ignorance... Thanks..

[tcherassi1]

what da fuck dude..jsut fukin ignore me..insult me again if u want.,...i dont care...and thanks for what??

[ihaveadogandheisfat]

SCORPIONS! awesome man :D

[guitardudezach10]

this is cool. me and my dad are in the process of making our own V

[spsigvee]

hope it turns out well, post a vid when its done won't you and let me know so I can watch it?

[BaseballGod710]

great choice in music...scorpions?

[spsigvee]

thanks and yes it is.

[sebas619]

how much would it cost if i ordered a guitar with my specifications and all that? without the hardware, just the body?

[spsigvee]

He only makes complete guitars at the moment.

[AwesomeRob365]

the headstock is wrong u need the triangle one but other than that nice job!!!

[Taud]

lmfao no headstock is" wrong" unless it doesnt intonate with the body besides man the triangle headstocks boring, my V has a hockey stick too, so eff that shit

[butterknucklez]

yeah the guitar insnt supossed to be a flying v, just a v shaped guitar

[lacrosse91696]

yea and besides... in the title it says... custom flying v....

[butterknucklez]

ohh yeah

[shtirlic911]

haaah... This is too perfect! I mean... Everyone can do smth like that with right tools. But take saw, knife ant that try to do smth like that. :D I would better buy a new guitar 4 that price.

[JohnathonDP]

Nice work!

The thing i hate about V's though is that the edges are rounded instead of pointy

but still a nice guitar

[LeeCummins]

wow! how long does it take until it's finished?

[evangelion350CH]

man u can upload a video teaching how make a razorback??? or splittait??

[Rogeblow]

Da hora!

[RIPjohnbonham]

man thats a sick v!

not sure if i like the banana headstock on it though...

either way, it looks fab!

[spsigvee]

thanks,

Yeah, the headstock seems to be the love it or hate it variety, but I love it!

[RIPjohnbonham]

well i like that headstock normally, im jsut not sure if i like it on a v.

i like it more on van halen's kramer, for example.

still a sweet guitar man!

[mrevolutions23]

fuckin awsome! i wish i could make my own guitars!

whats the name of the band that did that song going on in the background?

it was a fuckin cool song!

[spsigvee]

My friend made it, the song is "we were born to fly" by scorpions from the album humanity hour 1. Buy it, you won't be dissappointed!

[oldenburgerdjking]

5 stars!

[greenajg12]

good job

[blinddecks1]

[spsigvee]

[racefaceec90]

nice guitar man!!!at the moment i'm saving towards an indie super t guitar in blonde finish.i know that it's not a custom made guitar,is not a well known brand,and is cheap but i'm really looking forward to getting it!you can stop laughing now!!!peace!!!

[ledzepacbasslyn423]

sweet v, shitty song

[spsigvee]

your taste in guitars is magnificent, you're wrong about the song though! lol
