Jon Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Maybe Wenge instead of Ebony for the thin laminate? Should be a pretty big price difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryKer Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yeah, wenge would work nicely too. I'm also considering doing it this way... I have a friend with a big old slab of basswood, so I may try to simply make a body for the neck off my RG, and then build a neck if I think I'm up to it. If I were to use basswood, I'd definitely give it a solid finish... a white+black+chrome colour scheme'd be kinda sweet. Here's the visual on that one...

TeiscosRock Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 You should make a matching bass - that's DEFINATELY a great design for a bass, as well. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lietuvis Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I don't know how comfortable that will be, but it looks nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryKer Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Actually, my intent was towards something very comfortable to play sitting down... think of the right leg in that rear cutout, with the bulk of the body up on the left leg classical-style.

I was actually going to ask you about that. I was totally seeing that and I think it will work well. Have you done a mockup yet to test the idea?

CoryKer Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) I did a mockup of a very similar design (at least dimension-wise) a while back, and it balanced comfortably. Maybe I'll do a mockup on some stiff cardboard or something later this week. Anyways, so I'm right near the end of a very dull 3 hour lecture. I've just been messing around with that vector image and came out with a pretty detailed mockup. Man, it's been a while since I've used Fireworks this much: (Click for a bigger version, around ~100k) I don't really think I'm serious about the 'juggernaut' name. A friend just suggested it and I thought a concept drawing ought to have a name on it. [edit - I changed the pickup colour on the high-res version and fixed a couple little mistakes] Edited March 2, 2006 by CoryKer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord-of-the-strings Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hmmm... I think it sort of looks uneven, too much wood on the bass side, that or the neck isn't centered, and I think it would look better with the body shrunken down a little. That's just me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
