Wigglez Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Nice design Maybe try some bevels on the small points to make it look even sharper But bevels or not THATS SICK -Wigglez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 When your done with it you could hang some big heavy chain, from hook/barb to hook/barb and take a pic. It would make it look like the meanest f'n guitar ever. Hang it the same way people do with their pierced ear and nose connected by a chain, except use some chain that is thick like with inch wide links.LOL Sorry my mind is on the fritz right now.

haggardguy Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Can't wait to see it Matt, your stuff always looks sweet ...and evil of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I was just screwing around but it would make a killer pic. You could do it though in between sanding back finishing coats, but you would have to put in the hardware, eh nevermind dumb idea. Just do it digitally on your computer for an album cover.

sepultura999 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I really hate it when symmetrical bodies have non-symnetrical necks. I say go for a BC rich style headstock of your own design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Man You have No Idea How Much I HATE this Neck!! Really That's Why I was going to paint the dam thing I hate This plan fender looking Maple fretboard! I hate That It it's A 22 fret neck And MOST of all I Hate This type of a headstock on flying V's with the exception of the RR-V And I hate How the neck look's On the body UGLY I hate The thing But Im broke !!METAL MATT!!

Digideus Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I dunno dude, I alw3ays try and mirror the body in my headstock designs in some way. Like this.... I know its not that different, but with a bit of work im sure you could remodel the end so it looks more evil. Shame it isnt a reverse headstock. For a 6 string, you could do a reverse and get some better bass string stability when you detune. You could always take the plunge and build your own neck!!!! good luck tho dude! is this is half as good as the Impaler, its gonna be wicked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hear Are Some idea's Im working on for the Headstock Tell me What you think 1 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...S/headstock.jpg 2 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...adstockback.jpg !!METAL MATT!! ← Hmm.... neither of those really fit the design. Couldn't you fill the tuner holes and add more wood to the headstock so you could cut a completely different shaped headstock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmrentis Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hey Matt did you ever find that jack plate you were looking for? The one that was a little more square(I think) and it was on a ibanez. It really was a cool plate and I looked for you and for myself, but never could find one. Well let me know if you ever come across a place tha sells them, and I'll do the same.

jmrentis Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I like it! I think it fits the guitar really well and considering that is your first try at cutting the jack hole, I say that it is great. I think it would be hard to do it better. And the guitar is looking sweet! I really am liking that design, I'm sure it's not the easiest cut I'm sure, but I thinks it's well worth it for the look. How did you decide the angle to cut the hole at, do you just use the jack itself as reference. Well nice stuff matt and I can't wait to see how that design turns out! Later.

!!METAL MATT!! Posted July 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Thanks Guy's im glade you like It, How did you decide the angle to cut the hole at, do you just use the jack itself as reference Well I did A lot of thinking before I tryed this and As you can See it's not A thick guitar, and I wanted to make sure i got the right angle so that the jack did not come out to deep and go thru the botom of the other side but I needed it to go below the tone pot, So I did some measuring and It came out well. And I did it buy hand With a rasp bit on a hand drill That Was fun! !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 And I did it buy hand With a rasp bit on a hand drill smoke.gif That Was fun! biggrin.gif I saw a hand drill press type thing recently, and was wondering how it would work. It looks like the hand drill worked great for you, what other uses would a hand drill have, or what else do you use it for? I was going to ask you about the closeness of the jack to the tone pot, but assumed you angled the jack enough so it could fit under the tone pot. Are the lines you have on the guitar for the contour of the top? Well keep us posted with pics! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailman Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 too wild for me, but i'm liking the design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
