ThePlague Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 i was playing around with some graph paper while listening to music last night, and i came up with a new guitar design. i've got quite a few designs laying around, but this is the first singlecut i've ever tried. i'm just looking for some input; like it or don't? anything you'd change? this isn't to be built any time in the near future, just a "maybe some day" thing.

GregP Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Almost a great design! Both sides of the waist should at least 'complement' each other in terms of motion, in my opinion-- which they currently don't. But all that would take is making the top one less dramatic or the bottom one more dramatic, with the curves echoing each other either way. Greg Quote
tirapop Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 Good start. I like the right side. I think the waist on the left side needs to be a bit higher, centered on the bottom edge of the neck p/u route. Quote
Wigglez Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 The right side reminds me of a mockingbird but I don't care for the left side reminds me of a fernandz guitar. Quote
sashimimi Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 I agree with tirapop. The right side of the guitar is really awesome but the left upper bout is slightly larger than the mind expects it to be. (sometimes i sound stupid when im trying to sound smart) Quote
Digideus Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 I like it myself. Reminds me of a Fernandes Raven in shape. Go for it! Quote
jay5 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 I like it, but GregP is right about the waist. It looks almost identical to this one that David Myka is working on. Not sure if you have seen it or not. Quote
Daniel Sorbera Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 I auccually love the left side but don't care for the right side. IF you made the right side so it works better with the left I think it could be a cool design. Quote
ThePlague Posted May 17, 2005 Author Report Posted May 17, 2005 thanks for the comments. i've actually been playing around with that left side. i haven't found anything that i really like yet, so it's all still just on paper. i hadn't seen that guitar of myka's. it looks really cool. especially those f-holes, very sleek looking.

Bigtommyb Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 Ok what i would do is get the right side of the waist to be the same sort of shape as the left. and have a slightly more rounded bottom. appart from that i think its great! Will do a quick pic to c what u think. (if i have time) BigT Quote
TNElite16 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 maybe if you cut like an inch off the top of the left side and brought out the left waist an inch or 2 and slimmed the bottom of it. but i like the design it looks cool. Quote
