Moreau Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 but if u look at it quick, it still looks fairly symmetric. i dunno. may as well make it symmetric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seeing the silhouette of a bald guy's head, ears and all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still...at least the metal guys are prepared to go out on a limb...just a little too much of the gothic going on around PG these days...makes a change from PRS clones but...

frank falbo Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 As long as you're doing a "top" you should remove some of the Oak's weight in the bass side wing. You can route a hollow cavity or drill it out with a bunch of 1/2" holes. I think it would help the guitar balance better. You're coming in pretty far at the neck joint, so your strap button on the neck side will be disadvantaged. Hollowing the top wing might make it easier for you to hold it in proper balance. Looks good, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlague Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 to be honest, it doesn't do much for me. there's nothing specific that i really don't like about it, i just don't find it to be as good as your other designs. nothing catches my eye. but it appears i'm in the minority on this one, so good luck!

!!METAL MATT!! Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Well The same One But wider to compensate for The Larger parts !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) I was thinking of a V style up until recently. basically the cutawayof the bottom section of a gibson moderne with a sweep like the upper horn and mirror it on the otherside, which i think would look damn cool!

Asomodai Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) Ok i am absoloutely terrible at MS paint or any graphics at all but here it is. The horns should be more Like the lower cutaway of the moderne and the headstock design is different.

!!METAL MATT!! Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Ok I ran In to some trouble with the jointer last night I had some tear out But I did fix it however Now I need two more strips of wood on eaither side of the lace wood I need your guy's oppion on What wood I should use what I have sofar Is Purpleheart,lace wood on either side of that, flamed maple on either side of that and more Purpleheart for the wings I have to chouse from is paduk or mahogany or I could buy some ebony what do you guy's think would look best? !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orgmorg Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 So, are these strips going between the maple and lacewood? If so, I think the ebony would look best. If they are going between the lacewood and the purpleheart, I would say padauk- that would give it a real sweet color transition. Is the oak going to be the top? Do you have pics of it?

Robert_the_damned Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 looks pretty cool....maybe the points could be downsized a little.....just so they don't get broken off!! oh and I found this on my travels: to me it looks like your first design crossed with something like a moderne and/or an explorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 WOW that's UGLY the botom half look's cool but the top half look's way outa place and tryhardish, but that's just me !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
