RGGR Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 (edited) How stupid would an LP body look with an Ibanez neck/headstock? Thinking of possible next built.....and just throwing some ideas around. Edited October 1, 2004 by RGGR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of possible next built.....and just throwing some ideas around. How stupid would it look? Well, I think we've all seen things more 'stupid' than that! What the issues I see will be scale length and neck angle. Angle could be fixed up with a shim of sorts but the scale length would get a little messy.

Fan O' Zakk Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 At one point, I recall that EVH had a strat with a LP neck/headstock...now THAT is weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nouseforone Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 eh i dunno, but on the LP type guitar im making i took a gibby flying v neck/headstock to use for it, something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love the Ibanez type neck and headstock and have love for LP body. Don't like the baseball bat size LP necks. I donno if it looks cool, probably will figure something out in photoshop just to get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that being considered, it'll look different but I recall seeing an LP Jr body with a tele style stock and though it was different it was aweful. Go for it dude...smells like a GOTM.

RGGR Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 (edited) Ashez send me pm with drawing he cooked up. It looks rather unusual......strange....but not bad IMHO. Have a look: http://www.geocities.com/sha0lin_sf/ibanezpaul.jpg Under same concept I cut and pasted this image together: Looks rather mean. ;-) Edited October 2, 2004 by RGGR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 I just love the Ibanez type neck and headstock and have love for LP body. Don't like the baseball bat size LP necks. Using this quote Icould suggest since you are doing it from scratch, you could make the neck profile thin like the Wizzard, and have the 3+3 headstock like the Iceman or the SCA or just go with the 6 inline it don't look too out of place. One more idea will be to give the LP body S type carving instead of the traditional LP carving, like a modern LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have though of that too. I was thinking along the lines of a Conklin type headstock. http://www.conklinguitars.com/groovetour/grvetour1.html One more idea will be to give the LP body S type carving instead of the traditional LP carving, like a modern LP. What do you mean with this Maiden??? I know LP bodies have kinda a carved top with little edge on side. Almost like little skirt.....(not sure how to describe it) Some are totally flat. Or are those LP copies. I'm not much of a LP expert. I have always shied away from them due to their basball size necks. Just not my cup of tea. I love the body shape though. S carving is some flatter JS style, right??? And I think I saw one of the 3 Doors Down guitarists with LP body - Iceman SCA type headstocks once. Must be custom job, I guess. Looked pretty cool.

javacody Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 I think the les paul with Ibanez headstock looks pretty cool. I'd go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Ok, this will be a little thought to explain, btu I mean like the guitar in this link the LP goes like waves, from the top goes down and then sways up a bit before the bind, the S is like an elipse front and back, like if you throw a ball, it goes up then down in a smooth long curve. I haven't seen too many guitars like this but I love it. I thoink it's more beutifull to the eyes than the RG or the JS which is almost the same but a bit roundier.

RGGR Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I'm also thinking putting a AANJ in. ;-) Les Paul seemed to have bitched all the times that Gibson wasn't innovative enough. I think he would have loved the AANJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
