NancyJohnson Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) I'll pop this is the build area; I've been following these guys on You Tube for a while - their carpentry work extends beyond basses, but if you enjoy a bit of watching CAD design make guitars, this is a joy.

Owen Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Thanks. I really enjoyed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbd1960 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I've watched a number of their videos in the last few weeks. It's interesting to see how their CNC techniques have evolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassNugget Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 That is drop-dead gorgeous. I took a look at the Lignum site. The woodwork is outrageous! Love it. Now, I need to hear it with something other than EMGs (of which I am not too fond). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I like the process a lot, but, because there's always a but, I find that CNC machined instruments tend to always have sharp angles and designs too. They still do a lot of things by hand at Lignum (literarily firewood in Latin, no kidding, but has become wood by extension) which is very good as only a human brain can correct these perfection, yes perfection, issues. That said, @BassNugget the pickups on this very fretless bass are the Fishman Fluence. 😉 https://www.fishman.com/portfolio/fluence-bass-soapbar/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'll admit I'm a little obsessed with trawling You Tube for guitar repair/build content; these Lignum videos are a joy when compared to the lengthy Crimson ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have seen EMG listed on the website when looking at the Spring bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbd1960 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 They have a stupendous workshop. They seem to get their wood in just planks from the timber supplier and have to remove the bark etc. It's interesting to see the precision with which they fix the wood to the CNC router table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite enjoying the current Crimson ones. Ben is basically making it up as he goes along and not hiding the balls up he's making of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Guitar Build Off 2021 was one disaster after another and I am tiring of the whole desire to do different ethic. There's no doubting he knows his shizz, but the thing he just finished seemed to be more about him getting out of unnecessary situations rather than making something decent. Just build a stunning guitar, just stop trying so hard to break with convention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a lot of the videos of this and I came to similar conclusions - it felt like an exercise in being unconventional for no particular reason. I felt it came across as someone who's lost interest to some extent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Bass builds aside, Lignum are currently posting videos of an eco-house build they're involved in. Fantastic stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Love the contrast between the precision machining, then shaping the front face of the headstock with an angle grinder 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
