Maiden69 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Took you long enough to get this beauty in the GOTM. Sneaky guy, not even an update and suddenly BOOM!!! it's in the GOTM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGGR Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hope that's not a trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Awesome work; you should put the GOTM pics in this thread just to close'er up! I love the body shape. It's a lot like the Schecter 006, which is one of my favourite bodies ever. I'm surprised fewer people are doing that style, but it means you get to carve out your own special niche. I forgot to add a 006-like shape to my other thread in which I list guitars I'd like to build. Very classy, very well executed. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few boogers here and there, but overall I'm happy with it. Here's the pics: Body shot Back Back closeup Front again Hey GregP, I also like the 006... even the Avenger. I like most of the Schecter body styles -they're unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Personally I like the back more than the front I don't really care for the front but the back just freakin rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 That's beautiful. Such good work, and it's great to see a new design every now and then. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 That neck is one of the most exquisitely beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8rofwyo Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Sleek, Stylish and continuous from one end to the other. If I don't bow in humbleness, then I will at least nod in admiration. Very nice work. Nate Robinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Of course, taste is subjective, but I think it's the front that makes the guitar. Laminated neck-through wood patterns are AWESOME and I love them, but it's not every day you see a piece of wood like the one on the front. Great choice using one pickup to accent that round 'diseased' part. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pibrocher Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Yeah that is very tasteful wood use and selection. Your guitar has extremely unique feel to it. I'm sure she has an awesome sound too. The string ferules, brigde, and single pickup arrangment really give a "roundness" to the face. I like also how you placed the input jack on the control cavity cover. And the all wood cover is also an excellent choice. Oh yeah and love the clear natural finsh and multiple neck laminates. Keep 'em comin' man, i would love to see that body style repeated.

Hopefully, you will see another in the near future. I am working on a similar one for a client right now. Same body style with a burl Maple top which will be transparent purple. Purpleheart center lam on the neck. Here's a CAD rendering of it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jer7440 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Nice cad work. Did you do it? What system is that on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddler68 Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Nice cad work. Did you do it? What system is that on? ← Thanks. I modeled it in Solid Edge and rendered it in Alias. The product of many lunch hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digideus Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Let me reiterate: I, toddler68 do solemnly swear that my next guitar (if in fact it is a laminated neck-thru with cap) will feature capped wings only: the laminations will be visible from both sides of the body! So help me Dog. Maybe I'll even go so far as to run a lamination or two through the fretboard! ← I am working on a similar one for a client right now. Same body style with a burl Maple top which will be transparent purple. Purpleheart center lam on the neck. Cough Cough, Going back on your word are we? Awesome looking axe! it might be just me, but is the laminate front out of centre? That Burl pattern looks lower than centre. I understand youre hands are tied in regards to the size of the laminate. Shame you cant see the moose anymore! I Love it tho. Truly an inspiring piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I meant the next guitar I build for myself And yes, the burl cap is off center for some reason. I can't explain it, but it doesn't really bother me. I noticed it awhile back and was just waiting for someone to bring it up. You guys don't miss a trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
