The MGS3 is a cracking looking guitar

Re: Millimetric guitars.
I like that a lot!! I also dig how it could change to a lefty SUPER easy with a string or neck swap. No electronics in the way, symmetrical looking body shape. Dig it.

Re: Millimetric guitars.
Yeah, I think that was one of the initial design criteria. Not that that's why I like it, I just liked the cold and utilitarian design.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 1:45 amI like that a lot!!

Re: Millimetric guitars.
My favorite is the clear control cavity with the super detailed, clean wiring work.

I just saw he’s doing his version of lipstick pickups. Pretty interesting.

Re: Millimetric guitars.
I would hear a crackle every time I used the pick up switch, even with a right angle plug I would accidentally hit it. The jack is too close to the switch for me. The concentric tone/volume knob is utilitarian, but also too cramped behind the bridge. I would go from neck to middle or bridge every time I did a volume swell.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 1:45 amI like that a lot!!

Re: Millimetric guitars.
This looks amazing! How does it sound?
There is no way though that the positioning of these knobs is good design. But I assume he can put them some where else on the guitar?

Re: Millimetric guitars.
I really like the super subtle fret markers on the example above. Not sure about each fret having one on the side of the neck though, despite the traditional locations being slightly longer. Actually, I'm not sure how much I depend on the side fret markers, but I feel like if I did I would get confused easily.

Re: Millimetric guitars.
No joke, it’s the best sounding guitar I’ve owned. The bridge is a hb, and the neck a P90. Favourite hb I’ve ever played by a long shot. Thicker than I’m used to, but with plenty of bite.mediocreplayer wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 7:30 amThis looks amazing! How does it sound?

Yeah the controls are a master stroke of irony. A design so utilitarian in its appearance, but flawed in its application. The knobs don’t bother me as the vol is easy enough to use, and I don’t normally use the tone knob playing live. For sure the selector is a cock up though. But, I’m ok with a bit of form over function.

Re: Millimetric guitars.
I honestly wonder what Florian's house looks like.

Re: Millimetric guitars.
Ima nudge this here.
I just put in an order this weekend for an mgs3.
This is way at the top of my bucket list, and will likely be the most I’ll ever spend on a guitar, but these things are really functional art in my eyes, and I totally adore the aesthetic.
And that one is offset. Count it.

Re: Millimetric guitars.
I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out Florian (creator of Millimetric). His builds are amazing and every guitar I played of his were so detailed, special, and played great.
