Metalhead28 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm not sure about materials yet, but I've got a first draft of the design together. What do you guys think about this shape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Honestly? It doesn't strike me as anything out of the ordinary. Don't get me wrong - it looks nice. The mods and variations to the basic S/C are appealing. I've just seen a lot of them around here that are similar, so this doesn't jump out at me.

chops1983 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I agree with avengers that it doesn't jump out, but i do like it! I think its a great design. The butt end kind of reminds me of an aliens head. At the end of the day you build a guitar for yourself and if you like it, build it. The thing i have found with my short existence in building is that during the process you figure out what works and what doesn't and once the guitar is complete and you have played it for a while you definately know what works. Goodluck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I wonder if it wouldn't look better with the bottom swept the opposite way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead28 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I know what you mean, but that makes me think of an ESP Viper when offset that way and I've never really been fond of that look. I wanted the bottom of the lower bout to sort of mirror the top side of the upper bout, both with the swept angle and the smaller radius. I've done a little refining and I like this version a lot better: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead28 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Refined this shape a bit more and dressed up the model a bit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chops1983 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm liking it in the blue photo now. I prefer the way its abit stretched from the waist and the lower horn is abit more compact. What program do you use to make your designs metalhead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
