Tim37 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Please don't take this the wrong way you build some really nice Guitars but why not try a different shape? Expand a little Yeah i know im not one to talk i haven't even built my first guitar but you have a lot of talent i would like to see you challenge yourself get better.

Jon Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I don't believe these guitars are for himself, not to mention there are two guitars to the right with a different shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!!METAL MATT!! Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) why not try a different shape? Expand a little you dont seem to know me that well lol if anything I do WAY to many designs and thats only a few ive done I don't believe these guitars are for himself Thats right most of whats on my bence will be going to Axe Music for display and sale, They have my 8 string now and its been a huge hit. And after Axe music I have 2 Guitar shows to do one in saskatoon and one in my Town of Cold Lake, It should really be alot of fun Edited November 7, 2008 by !!METAL MATT!!

avengers63 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 For this one, I suggest you do in a different direction somewhat. You have a real hard-on for bevels and hard edges. It's what you like, and that's cool. You do it very well. But.... I really think this wood lends itself very well to rounded contouring. A light carve or some severely rounded edges would really bring out the grain. Think along the lines of what Ibanez does on one of their lines. Slope the body towards the edges while leaving a thick core and make the horns almost completely round. This would bring out all kinds of fun grain patterns. Factor in a forearm contour and a belly cut and that zebrano will really come to life. If it made this ash come to life like this, imagine what it'd do the the zebra.

!!METAL MATT!! Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Well thats true!! the end grains and edeges of this stuff looks Super bad ass I just dont know if this design lends its self to that much rounding over, but maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 The tips of the horns may need to be blunted somewhat, but other than that, I don't see anything that would prevent the shape from looking great rounded off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodo Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think you should stick with your original vision. It's tight and you have a style going. Go Matt Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Well I will be doing some Carving to this one, there was a small crack on one edge of the guitar so I just went ahead and started shaping it out, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
