Wilborn Nautilus Guitar
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2025 12:05 pm
Finally finished my Nautilus Guitar.
For those interested in the gory details you can take a look at my "Wilborn Guitar Attempt" in the "Blog Your Project"section of this forum.
The project almost took a year to complete. A significant amount of time was spent making the forms and jigs necessary to make this unique design.
In the end, very happy with the results. Really like the look and sound of the end product. I must say that I will need to take a break before I attempt something like this again.
General Specs are...
Engelmann spruce top
EIR back
Three layer laminated sides ( EIR/Maple/EIR )
Ebony bridge
Ebony with dyed Koto bindings
Multi scale fretboard ( 25.4 base and 24.9 Treble )
Ebony arm bezel
Ebony with dyed Koto bound fret board and headstock
