Күн бұрын

I've wanted to add a second model to my lineup at Dark Art Guitars for a while now, so after doing a lot of design work and some prototyping this is the first Necromancer build. This 8-stringed beast represents some of the most exotic and unique wood choices possible to create an absolute art piece with the help of Mother Nature.
If you love this new shape as much as I do, it is available for custom orders with dozens of features that can be customized to your style. Just head over to my website or shoot me an email to get started.

How do you like this more relaxed, slower paced format? Too slow or just right?

I was like "that seems way too wide." Then I saw your hands.

I enjoy the new direction you have decided to go. I’ve been subscribed for years now. It’s really neat to see you work and use some of the machines you have made and modified over the years. It’s also neat to see you work with some of your new equipment. Your work is beautiful!

I like this format. Very cool guitar other than a couple design choices that I didn't care for. Just my personal opinion though. Im sure a lot of people would love it

That's what I love about custom guitars, they only really have to please one person and can therefore have much more unique designs.

Your channel has become my go-to for guitar related stuff nowadays. I really enjoy your rational approach to things, your pickup video was really interesting irrespective of the outcome! I'd like to ask, what has been your experience with headless bridges/hardware? I'm looking at making the plunge and trying to build a headless, but I often read people recommend avoid cheap options, with the only alternatives being around 300 euros.

@DarkArtGuitars 3 ай бұрын

Headless bridges are expensive, that's just a fact. There are many small parts that need to fit with fairly tight tolerances for it to work well, so it's not cheap to produce. While cheap ones "work" they tend to be a nightmare to tune and have the hardware strip out the second time you use it. The cheapest good option would be Nova Guitarparts. I used them on most of my builds and am very happy for the price. Should run you about 200 euro I believe. You can get them on their ebay store, or reach out directly to avoid ebay fees.

Yeah that's fair! Super, do you import those from the US? I've only seen them at Ploutone. I'm very tempted by the RIviera bridges, but I'd only give those a bash if I manage to win with a cheaper option to start with!

@@mmmike3426 I get them directly from Nova Guitarparts in Brazil, no point going through ploutone if you're not in the US. They ship internationally at quite reasonable rates.

Incredible work, my compliments. Now to improve your productivity you need to add a RapidChange ATC.

@DarkArtGuitars 3 ай бұрын

An ATC is definitely on the bucket list. Maybe this summer if all goes to plan.

How long did it take you to build your shop, did you buy all your tools with the guitar $?

@DarkArtGuitars 2 ай бұрын

I've been building my shop for a few years now, mostly by making videos on here. But end of last year/beginning of this year I did a big overhaul to set it up more for guitar building. I had to invest some $, but all in all it wasn't too bad as I already had my CNC and many other tools I collected over the years. While you definitely don't need all these tools to get started building guitars, if you want to be productive enough to make some money with it, you first need to invest some to get the tools that speed up the work. Kind of a chicken and egg thing ;)
