Meegs666 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 im thinking if i could find the cad or a way to to get the shape then instead of a doubleneck i could make an ml like dimebag played. i just need the shape. i couldnt freehand this one so any help would work out. oh yeah and all my guitars have a theme. the shape is a hero and the paint reflects the usage. i did a gold jem to use for showing off. i did a seven string rhoads for writing. im thinking about a doubleneck les paul with a zakk wylde paint job for going from rhythm straight into solos. i would do this one as a complete unadultered tribute.

goth_fiend Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 well the dean ml is basically just an explorer and a gibson V put together, if you can trace the both of those bodies, then just combine them in the middle you would be close enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aakoo Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hello. I found a paint shop pro image of the Dean ML guitar. It was found from a finnish music forums instrument building section. Here is the actual psp image. It has two layers. First layers has i photo of the image and second layer contains the contours of the guitar body. Hope this helps. - ARi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meegs666 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 using a cad from explorer and a v i have made a template of the ml body shape. so now im gonna put the doubleneck project on hold to build this one. anybody got any ideas on how i could finish it? i want to have it compltely planned out before i get started. thats a mistake i made planning the rhoads. i never thought about the cosmetics or other issues beforehand.

Meegs666 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 i considered that style before i ever read the post. i think its a toss up between dimeslime(yellow with green burst), southern cross, camo, or playing cards and beer caps. i dont think i have the experience to brush the lightening bolts that he had on his dean from hell. so i guess its just a hard decision ill have to make. i plan on using an original floyd. i also need some help with the pickups. what is the name of the pickup that is cheaper than the dimebucker but was the inspiration?
