    Default Stratocaster Inspired Scales

    Here they are!




    I went all out on the detailing, including the purpleheart inlay on the back and the amp plug on the front.

    I will be making a matching wood box for these just like the one for the violin scales and putting them up on e-bay.

    I have to pay for all the toys that I got to help me make these plus there are other theme scales to try out.

    What do you think?

    Thumbs up Sweet!

    Can you make an amplifier shave mug or something to go with it?

    I am astounded by the originality, attention to detail, and pioneer "tude" you have shown for these scales. Let me know when this razor goes on eBay so I can bid on it... This little project of yours reminded me of Ken Onion when he first showed me his spring-assist knives. Thinkin' outside the box... just dandy!


    Congratulations on a job well done...

    Now all you need to do is learn how to put your pics n stuff on these threads so we don't have to scroll back and forth to see it all...

    Awesome scales, but your guitar is 'backwards'. Yes i am left-handed and I get tired of hearing that my guitar is backwards, so I have decided that righties are backwards.

    Sir Paul McCartney: "That's a mighty dandy guitar scales you have there, lad! Do you have one of them in "Hofner Violin Bass" shape?"

    I just got (yesterday) me a new guitar! I don't want the scales for it, just wanted your envy ...




    Vlad, mighty nice work!!!

    Smile Your encouragement is much appreciated.

    Thanks to everyone for the praise. Being a perfectionist I tend to focus on areas in need of improvement instead of enjoying the results overall. Your feedback helps me get a more balanced perspective.

    Special thanks goes to RT for his suggestion of the theme, even if it was in jest .

    Bill, I am very greatful for your words of praise. I am encouraged to keep at it.

    XMan, the one thing I am not equipped for and have no experience in is clay work. So an amp shapped mug will have to be made by someone else .

    As far as a box for this razor is concerned, do you think that a guitar shaped one is worth the extra work or one similar to the violin razor is good enough?

    Oh, I'm sure a rectangular box would work just fine, but frankly ...
    I'd want to see what other magic tricks you can pull off.

    Really good work!!

    You have really set the standard for originality in razor scales! Maybe you will find this a satisfying outlet for your creative side?
