Making an Electric Black Fire Guitar Full Build
New year, new guitar project. This one is for Ivan Dečak, frontmen from Group Vatra ( Fire ). Throughout the video, You can hear them play on this very instrument :D. This build spans over the period of last couple of months. . We tried to keep the wood combination from spring guitar because the sound was great but also go for a different look, black stain under high gloss polish. The wood we used is american maple and mahogany veneer for the neckthru core and black ebony for the fretboard and diamond tail piece. Pickguard and battery cover is made from three layers of laminated mahogany veneer. Top of the body and head is covered with birch root veneer which really resembles small flames. fretboard Inlays are made from white epoxy. Nut is made from cow bone. For gluing we used pvac glue. After staining the guitar in black nitro stain, it was sprayed in 5 coats of polyurethane primer to fill all the pores. After each spray, the surface was sanded with 400 grit sandpape
