Project guitar
Explorer Doubleneck Guitar KL styled
6 string over 6 string
(which allows for 2-different tunings at once, which is why i built is that way)
Hand Built by Black Diamond USA
Please note- i took some of the pics outdoors and some indoors to try and show as much as possible of the entire guitar.
>>>>>>>>> PLEASE READ ALL!!!! <<<<<<<<<
I hand built this guitar about many years ago for myself based on the one James Hetfield of Metallica plays,
Unfortunately i could not afford a $30,000 guitar so i built one in my custom guitar shop
i have played this guitar for a while so it may have some flaws, dings, blems, Lacquer checking etc. along with normal playwear but is still in great playable condition.
*Please see pics of these mentions.
I hand built this guitar and hand honed each neck to my liking...
here is what i did...i made the top neck thin more like a Gibson flying V...
and i honed the bottom neck a little chunkier kind of like a Gibson SG or LP style...
they each have a different feel which i REALLY like when i am playing a gig!
Since there are no cases available for this guitar i built the case myself out of strong plywood, glued and nailed, and covered it with good quality tolex, i also custom formed the inside to fit the guitar and then lined it with the tiger stripe material, it works great!
It is a very heavy case but it's made to protect the guitar and does so extremely well.
As for the guitar itself...
I built this one years ago and at that time was not hooked up with cts or bourns or switchcraft, tonepros etc. hardware and electronics at the time, so it has generic hardware and electronics,
However The tuners however are Sperzel locking tuners.
Please note-
1-one of the neck pickups is scuffed in two places on the surface but work fine (see pic)
2-The lower neck tailpiece is scratched a little (see pic)
3-It will need a good setup too4-The case weighs over 30-lbs and is BIG so the shipping for UPS is higher than a single guitar would be.
I was going to upgrade all the electronics and pickups but then the price would go much higher.
Here are the specs...
- Body-African Mahogany
- Necks-Custom Hand-Honed mahogany Set Necks
- Top-Bubinga Veneer
- Nuts-hand Carved bone Nut(s)
- 3-Toggle switches
- 4-black knobs (2-vols. 2-tones)

- Top Neck Scale- 24-1/2" (22-frets)
- Lower Neck Scale- 24-1/2" (22-frets)
- Headstocks-KL styled hand carved headstocks
- Schaller Straplock buttons
- Hand-Layed Exotic Wood veneer Top
- Bridge Pickups-DiMarzio Tone Zone, & a Steve Vai pickup
- Neck Pickups- generic Humbucker Pickups
- Back control plates-Real Mahogany wood back control plates
- weight- 12.6 lbs.
- Tuners-Sperzel Locking Tuners Black
Anyway That's the story...
The balance is extremely nice
