limtoy Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I started making miniature guitars 24 years ago, when I saw for the first time the B.C.Rich guitars used by Paul Stanley, the Les Paul used by Ace Frehley and the Axe bass used by Gene Simmons. In this time, I loved making model kit, so I decided to try to make it in miniature. Believe me, it was horrible. But with time, I continue and learn all I can about the guitars and how to make it. KISS was using a lot of Gibson guitars so I felt in love with this company and the Les Paul is the most beautiful guitar ever create. Ill show you later the Les Paul I made, some were offer to Ace Frehley, Aerosmith and Slash. All the guitars I made are in a ¼ scale, 12 lenght. The body is on wood, the hardware is in plastic, die cast and resin. The strings are are in electric cord braided to respect the various sizes. These are One Of A Kind miniature and request a lot of time to make it. So I start with some Explorer models. The first one is a one of the first model produced in 1958. With a very rare V head and the Gibson logo that used on Flying V model. The second is a classic Korina finish Explorer. The third is a rare model with a Bigsby vibrato from 1958. http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9364/explorerwp6.jpg http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/2007/explorerproto5701oy3.th.jpg http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8340/explorerproto5702ec6.th.jpg http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/75/explorer5802mw6.th.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/3290/explorer5803dv2.th.jpg http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/9189/explorerbigsby5802dz7.th.jpg http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/1854/explorerbigsby5803mc6.th.jpg
Caevan O'Shite Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 They do look mighty cool; damn, at first I thought this thread was supposed to be about playable short-scaled guitars, them I'd really dig! Nice authentic looks! how do they play? Ask >NEW!< Army-Band G.I.-Joe with Kung-Fu Grip!!

limtoy Posted August 23, 2008 Author Posted August 23, 2008 Thanks, I didn't know where to post this topic It's just miniature guitars, they can't play.
picker Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Why did you post them? For what purpose? Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.
Caevan O'Shite Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Nice work; you ever consider making real guitars? Even if they're still kinda little (but not quite that little!)? (This is sorta a little 'spammy', but not so bad; and the subject-matter is kinda cool! I can forgive any unsolicited promotionalasms 'n' take it more as a "hey, look what I made!")

limtoy Posted August 23, 2008 Author Posted August 23, 2008 Just because I wanted to show my passion. Unfortunately I'm not a guitar player but I really love the object. I probably know more about the history of electric guitars and companies than a lot of real musicians. It's a passion, nothing else.

I kinda figured that, noting all the detail that you've got- and got right- in those!
