Adding a piece of mahogany

Extending the body by adding a piece of mahogany. I highlighted the body shape in yellow in Photoshop to better show the body perimeter. This body is huge and uses up a lot wood ! 🙁

Tracing the body shape on the mahogany body

Made some progress on the body today.  Traced the outline of the body.

Routing the body with using the template

The template is on the bottom and everything in held down with double-stick tape.

 

 

The mahogany body now perfectly matches the template

Perfect edges after routing.

 

The body outer shape is done

The body weights 5 lbs, that’s too much so I will have to make some relief cavities in the body before the top is glued on in order to reduce the weight.

weight relief pattern for explorer

Figuring out the weight relief pattern for the Explorer. All cavities will be 1/2″ from the edges of the body contour. The black dashed lines represent the back body contours, I don’t want the inner cavities to be near them. The drawing was made with Inkscape (will open in new window).

after weight reduction

After weight relief… 3.2 lbs (before=5 lbs), a reduction of 1.8 lbs.

 

This walnut board will become the top

This walnut will become the top of the guitar. It’s the only wood I found that is wide enough, just barely, for this body. It’s simple but beautiful. I think it’s going to look amazing on this body once I finish with it. Can’t wait!

I made this table saw jointing jig to join the two piece of walnut. You can see the building and using of the jig here (will open in new window).

Dec. 31, 2015

At this point, I abandoned the neck and started to build a new one made from two pieces of walnut. Why? Sometimes you instinctively know what you should do but don’t necessarily want to put in the energy to understand why… it’s like that… 🙂

The veneer has a square edge that will not sit properly with the eventual nut.

 

the headstock veneer angle, top view

The top of the headstock veneer is not aligned with the eventual nut because the headstock is tilted by 13 degrees with respect to the neck. Therefore a bevel is needed on the veneer.

I made a demo video, but please don’t judge the guitar based on the amp (crappy little amp), the audio recording quality (recorded with my smartphone) and especially my playing… I’m not really a guitar player, I’m a builder.

      1. Also interested in a explorer build! My email is (removed) I just got a 3’x3’ Slab of ash and I thought about building one of these but I’m more the table and shelf builder lol. But I’m a guitar player and I love this build

  1. very good job

    but one question, you explain that the neck pocket is flat in your video but with this type of bridge (same as lespaul) you don’t need to shime your pocket ??

    Thanks

    1. Thanks Stephane. That video is for another guitar I’m building, not this Explorer.

      You are correct, with this type of bridge, the neck needs to be tilted. I have incorporated a 2 degree angle in the heel of the neck (see this photo).

      Hope that clears thing up.

      Araz

  2. Hey Araz,
    Truly an amazing job, bud–really! I stumbled upon this site and your post by accident, while looking for jelly beans…not really, but you know how it goes. One click leads to another. I also completely dig that new neck you built with the maple board and walnut binding. That looks so much better than the original rosewood version. Anyway, I ended up here because I’m getting back into building after a long hiatus (about 7 years), and was looking for some measurements. An image search revealed your Explorer monster and I just HAD to see it. Glad I did.

    Cheers,
    Rob

  3. Hi Araz, this is great job ! I wanted to know if after sanding the router marks on the body, it will be enough flat for glueing? Thanks.

  4. How deep did you drill for the control cavity? How thick was the remaining wood after you drilled through?

    1. The control cavity needs to be deep enough for the pots to fit properly through the holes but not so thin to compromise the stability of the remaining wood. I like to leave around 1/4 to 3/8″ deep of wood. You can also choose to make the wood thiner only at the location of the pots inside the cavity.

    1. Thanks. I made the template from 1/2″ MDF. I found an image of the plans online and then I resized the image based on the scale length to get the full-size drawing then proceeded to make the template.

      Araz

        1. Are you looking for the plans of an ESP Snakebyte? I don’t recall ever seeing that on the Internet.
          You can always start with a Gibson Explorer plans and modify it to make it into a Snakebyte or find a front facing photo of the Snakebyte and trace it… Use Google Images and Pinterest…

          So I guess what I’m saying is, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, then you can always make it yourself.

  5. Hey, Great build. I am new to this building, I have a kit for an explorer Left handed, and I’m trying to find a template for the headstock….somethin I could download and trim the blank that I now have. Would you know where I could find one that is the actual size. Nice sounding guitar by the way. I’m planning on using tru oil on mine…mahogany body.
    Cheers from Newfoundland Canada!!

    1. Thanks Garry. Explorers are great guitars, one of my all-time favourite shapes.

      As for the headstock shape, I’ll send you a template file shortly to your email.
      Take care, Araz

  6. Beautiful work !! You are truly an artist. I’ve made several guitars, and I don’t think most people realize the effort and art/magic that goes into making one. I have some korina and a tiger maple top I am thinking should become an explorer now after seeing this.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge..

    I am curious.. Why did you abandon that beautiful figured neck?? That looked amazing. I hope you were able to re-use it on something else.

    1. Thank you James! Korina and tiger maple sounds like a great combo.

      I don’t remember why I didn’t use that figured neck… it’s been a while since that build… but I did end up using some of that wood as the fretboard.

      Take care, Araz

  7. Hey, awesome guitar!
    I´m new to building guitars and I want to kick things off with an Explorer..
    Any possibility to get these svg files?`
    Great work, seriously!

  8. Hello Araz,

    Nice job on that guitar! Your passion for building it truly shows. I have always wanted a custom explorer, my own style into it. How much would it cost for your to make something similar? Would love to discuss further. Thanks!

  9. Good afternoon, I’m considering to build one with a bubinga neck through, mahogany wings and a bubinga top.
    I’m finding it very difficult to find dimensions for a neck through blank. Can you help me?

    1. Hi Domingos, I don’t have any plans for a neckthrough Explorer. I suggest you draw your own plans in full-scale, that’s really the best way.

      Araz

  10. Hi. Your guitar look awesome! I have a question. Neck of your Explorer is at an angle relative to the body? Because I have seen a lot of video about Explorer`s DIY, and I can’t understand how to attach neck to body.

    1. Hi Adolf,
      The tailpiece is a standard Tune-O-Matic type that you can find at most guitar parts stores. As for the bridge, to be honest, I really don’t remember where I bought it from…
      Take care,
      Araz

      1. Thanks a bunch. I sure like your work and I like the sound of your explorer.
        I would like to ask you one more question if you don’t mind. I have a fender neck with an overhang and 9.5″ radius. The heel is almost 22 mm thick. Would it be save to cut the heel pocket that deep? I am planing to keep the fret board flush with the body. I am still learning.

        Thanks again,

        1. I can’t answer that question without knowing the details of the body and neck… The best thing to do is draw a side-view of the guitar body & neck, then it will become clear how deep you need to go to get the fretboard flush…

          If you join the PEG Facebook group and post your question with photos, the PEG community can help you more easily. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ProjectElectricGuitar

          Araz

  11. One more time…The body is rough cut and sanded to 1.730″. The heel is .834″ thick. So, I have to go .834″ deep on the pocket. That would leave .896″ material left on the body. If there is not enough material left on the pocket would it be ok to take off about 1/8 of an inch on the heel? I would have about 1 inch material left on the pocket. If you can answer me one more time, that’s it.

    Thank you again,
    Adolf

    1. Hi Adolf, I’m happy to help.

      Based on you description, you will indeed have 0.896″ remaining in the pocket, that’s more than enough material. You should have nothing to worry about.
      Araz

  12. Hi Araz,
    Thank you again for your reply, looks like one less headache for me. I do appreciated very much for your help. All I have to do now is finding the right bridge for my 9.5″ radius fret board. I like the set up you have on the explorer. I hope I can find what I’m looking for.

    Again, thank you
    Adolf

  13. Hi, great build! I’m planning to build the EVH Shark myself, which is based on the Ibanez Destroyer, and in turn was based on the Gibson Explorer. What is the size of wood needed for the body, in total (length x depth)? Thanks!

    1. Thanks Don.
      From the Gibson website, here are the dimensions for an Explorer:
      Body Maximum Length = 23.16″ (588.4mm)
      Body Maximum Width = 167.47″ (443.7mm)
      Body Thickness = (44.5mm) 1 3/4″

  14. Hello, my name is Mark, I have to first say that is a beautiful explorer guitar you built. I am in the process of building my own from scratch. I was wondering what are the spacing measurements for the tuning pegs on the headstock? The headstock is a replica Gibson explorer from 1985. I am unable to find what the spacing and measurements are . Can you help me ? I look forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you in advance I look forward to hearing from you, If you dont mind please send me an email with your answer. Thank you

  15. Fantastic work AND documentation! Bookmarking this as a reference for my second build… These were the same steps I took during my lutherie class in Montreal, so this is a perfect refresher.

    What product did you use for grain filler? The only thing I’ve been able to find is “wood filler” that chalky plastic stuff used to fill larger voids…

  16. Congrats Araz! Beautiful Guitar!
    Do you remember the final weight of the guitar ?
    I saw weight reliefs so I think you were concerned about it.
    Well, I’m asking this because I would like to built something similar. I like the Les Paul scale length but I don’t like its ergonomics and weight… It seems an Explorer could solve these problems with proper weight reliefs (chambers and back of the body) What do you think?

    Thanks in advanced!

    1. Thanks Altair,
      I don’t remember the final weight but it was not too heavy. It’s a big body but the weight reliefs help a lot.

  17. Super project!

    Is it possible to get a dimmensions of the guitar that you use in this project? Sam technical drawings? best ragrds

    1. Thanks mati. I don’t have “one” set of technical plans for this project… I used standard dimensions that can be found in most LP online guitar plans… except for the body height which I don’t have the final measurements for anymore.
