Chubtone Build Progress Pics

[scottosan]

Should be ready next week

I can't speak highly enough about what Curt and Matt do. Curt is beyond professional and so easy to work with. This is my first truly custom ordered guitar down to every detail. These guys even let me work have custom pickups (Jalen Franky set) sent. Matt is super awesome about showing build progress on Instagram. Even after the body was finished, I asked for an additional neck pickup route, which Matt and Curt obliged without making me feel guilty. Matt reworked the paint job as to not leave the new route raw. You couldn't even tell. Some of you may know that I already have a chubtone, #17, I've owned a few charvels to include a custom shop charvel, as well as a Luxxtone. My #17 has stayed and I was in possession of all 3 at once. I absolutely love it. You simply connect get a custom ordered guitar for anywhere close to what these guys are charging. An I can promise, no corners cut. These guys really go above and beyond

That looks pretty awesome. My first guitar had that exact paint-job. It was not as nice, a crappy Westone with generic Floyd that I could not get to stay in tune. Sadly, that guitar was stolen.

Fucking awesome. Where is the truss rod adjustment?

Do they make their own necks and bodies?

truss is at the nut. As for sourcing, pics of raw cut body before edge radius and router s in the background so I assume the bodies are in house at least. In any event they aren't over the counter bodies and necks and Matt will do any paint you want

That is insane!!!

 

[SpiderWars]

Looks awesome!

Is there a way to make the fretboard look 'road hard' too? Other than playing it a ton. My Chubtone neck doesn't have the worn look from playing but the figure in the Maple definitely seems to pop more and it just seems to look better over time. Might be my imagination.

Hard to capture the 3D effect.

Rising Sun for the win!! Looks killer

DAMN that is a sweet guitar! I am really considering just getting him to build me something rather than buy a used Charvel legacy.

Very nice. Congrats

I saw they had hockey headstocks on instagram. Talked to Matt and I’m ordering an explorer with reverse hockey stick headstock. They pretty much let me pick whatever I wanted. I’m so excited. I played a used one and I have to try ordering one. Congrats

This is what made me go all in. I just emailed the final specs that I’d like. So far nothing has been an issue. 1 3/4 nut etc

I tried about a year ago to email and ask them but never really got a reply to my question,
Will they do a compound neck radius like charvels 12 to 16?
