How I Built My Custom Vander RH-1 Guitar (ENG/ESP)

in #hive-1001623 years ago

Hello! I am going to share with you the construction, or rather let's call it assembly of my Vander RH-1 custom model guitar.

Hola! Voy a compartir con uds la construcción, o mas bien llamémosle ensamblado de mi guitarra Vander RH-1 custom model.

Let's start from the beginning... The neck is a Jackson belonging to a brand new Japanese Jackson RRX that came to me with the headstock broken in 2. This neck was lying around for about 12 years without use, even my daughter who was 5 years old at the time I used to play the guitar with him. One day I decided to build a custom guitar and sent the neck to be repaired by a luthier.

Empecemos desde el comienzo... El mástil es un Jackson perteneciente a una Jackson Japonesa RRX completamente nueva que me llego con el clavijero roto en 2. Este mástil estuvo por ahí durante unos 12 años sin uso, incluso mi hija que en ese momento tenía 5 años jugaba con él a tocar la guitarra. Un dia me decidi a construir una guitarra custom y envié el mástil a reparar con un luthier.

The body is ash, made by Allen Edden in the USA. The color was not what I wanted so I decided to customize, sanding the original color first, same job on neck.

El cuerpo es de fresno, hecho por Allen Edden en USA. El color no era el que yo queria asi que decidí personalizar, lijando primero que nada el color original, mismo trabajo en el mástil.

The color I chose was pearl white, with two racing silver effect stripes on the lower part of the body. To achieve that effect I painted that area in black and covered the part where the stripes would be with tape, then painted the whole body in pearl white.

El color que elegí fue blanco perla, con dos rayas con efecto plata tipo carrera en la parte baja del cuerpo. Para lograr ese efecto pinté de negro esa área y cubrí con cinta la parte donde estarían las rayas, entonces pinte todo el cuerpo con el blanco perla.

Once it dried I sanded the entire body again and repainted white to cover the stripes and achieve the silver effect. After about 10 days drying, I went back to sanding and polishing with wax to remove pores and imperfections... The body is ready to receive the hardware.

Una vez que se secó, lijé nuevamente todo el cuerpo y volví a pintar de blanco para cubrir las rayas y lograr el efecto plata. Al cabo de unos 10 dias secando, volví a lijar y pulir con cera para eliminar poros e imperfecciones... El cuerpo está listo para recibir el hardware.

I put on it a completely solderless EMG James Hetfield signature set (pickups, pots, and jack), the tremolo is a thick block Fender Stratocaster STD, the pickguard was covered with satin black vinyl paper.

For the nut cover, I cut a piece of old pickguard that I had, and molded it to the desired shape, with a dremel I made my personal stamp. For the brand on the headstock, I asked to manufacture my name made in plexiglass, tuners are sealed PW.

Para el nut cover, corté un pedazo de pickguard viejo que yo tenía, y lo moldee hasta lograr la forma deseada, con un dremel le hice mi sello personal. Para la marca en el clavijero, mandé a fabricar mi nombre en plexiglass, las clavijas q coloqué son una PW de precisión.

And the end result is a custom guitar ash body, 22 jumbo frets, Jackson maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, EMG JH pickups, Dunlop straplock, fender 5P selector, Fender Tremolo, mini toggle kill switch, that plays and feels like a $5,000 guitar and best of all... unique on planet earth.

Y el resultado final, es una guitarra a mi medida con cuerpo de fresno, 22 trastes jumbo, mástil Jackson de maple, fingerboard de palorosa, pastillas EMG JH, straplock Dunlop, selector fender de 5p, tremolo fender, kill switch, que se toca y se siente como una guitarra de $5000 y lo mejor de todo... única en el planeta.
