Drak Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 It's rather morbid and ghastly, pretty much your worst nightmare, not for the newbs here, they couldn't handle it. Family-oriented site, dontcha know. But the Maple Tree Of Life is a different matter, I've posted pics of that. That is the hingepin of creation, and it is good.

westhemann Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 hey wes I was just woundering if that last pic of your drawing was bassed on the vixen by Bernie rico Jr and if so are you going to build it to see what iam talking about check this out www.ricojrguitars.com sorry I don't know how to link it yet Thanks !!METAL MATT!! yes it is loosely based on a cross between the vixen v,the beast,and the randy rhoads v... and yes i am going to build it...with mahogany neck and body,ebony fretboard,hard maple cap,24 5/8" scale,and possibly a kahler pro(if i can get one) and the zw pickup set the object is to get a lespaul tone out of a better looking guitar with easier upper fret access.

Executioner606 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 (edited) Too bad the Vixen V was ripped of from my friend Paul Church A.K.A Lurch. Kinda the same way He ripped the Beast from Brian Hoffman. The man gets no royalties for that thing. Thats why he's playing the beast master now. : I dont trust Bernie Jr . However Joey Rico is a good man. His designs seem pretty close to Ken Patin's (Yavcon) but theyre pretty sweet. I cant prove that Bernie JR ripped lurch off but lurch and Neal can. Pat O'brian can vouche for lurch as well. Lurch originally drew it for Pat (of cannibal corpse fame) on a napkin in a bar.

javacody Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 What I'm trying to figure it is why the heck is this guitar so heavy? Wes, can you give us separate weights on the body and neck? Other than that, it looks like a great guitar. If I was still into playing metal, my mouth would be watering!

westhemann Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Wes, can you give us separate weights on the body and neck? no...as i said i am not taking the neck apart from the body... i think the ultra thick finish is what makes it so heavy...about 5 cans of spray paint total,and 2 part epoxy as grainfiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda the same way He ripped the Beast from Brian Hoffman if thats true than thats a real shame that demon v is a way beter looking guitar and it deserves the respect that bernie rico jr took and clamed as his own!! any way wes I think That guitar should turn out awsome and I can't wait to see it and I hope you get your lespaul tone.

Slabbefusk Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Thats a nice guitar man! Although it wouldve been twice as nice with a reverse pointy headstock ala kerry king! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry King or Jeff Hanneman? Don't Kerry uses the Widow headstock, http://www.bcrich.com/kkv_sig.asp they both have numerous guitars...but the only one i can think of that may have a reverse pointy headstock would be hanneman's jackson from way back....but even that one may not be reversed but you will never see a reverse headstock on one of mine...i don't like reaching around the guitar to tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executioner606 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Kerry did play some reverse pointed headstock BCR V's. Theyre called Speed V's i believe. Mick tompson has one too unfortunatly. I think he also played some reverse ASM headstock V's as well. The man has too many guitars to keep track of which is a problem i wouldnt mind having.

mattdowney Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 .Only thing I hate is the idea to put a Strat jack plate on a V. yeah...but i really like the direction it sends the cable out at...i thought about recessing it into the actual v part on the lower wing (right about opposite of the bottom strap pin) but i ended up doing it this way...maybe on the next one thanks for the kind words ,but it really is not perfect...i know where every little flaw is (mostly in the finishing) and it drives me crazy for example...a gnat flew into the clearcoat and i didn't notice it until it was already about .5 mm under the finish it is under the trem plate,but i know it is there...at least it was not something bigger...like a frog i like it alot. i have a strat plate on my rhoads that i made and i love it. alot of flying vs have odd jack locations, but the strat plate solves the problem. this is just my oppinion. strat plate on my rhoads: http://photobucket.com/albums/v169/mattdow...ar_pics_056.jpg i think it looks really good on my guitar! i think it looks a bit odd on wes's guitar, but it makes it much more practical.

Executioner606 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) Pretty much this , only i think the bodys arent as wide. http://www40.tok2.com/home/heavymetal/B.C.RICH002.JPG Heres one of the reverse ASM headstock V's kerry uses too http://bc-rich.com/images/kerrykingv.gif Edited September 17, 2004 by Executioner606 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
