croaticum Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Im starting to work on my new project called the DOMINATOR V project I have worked out vectors, scaled it to full size and done graphic designe in corel It should look like this: That is if i dont screw up something. There will be full pictorial on how i do it. Im thinking of my normal EMG setup (81 and 89) but a bit diferent whiering. Dont know if i would make any graphics on it jet. I picked out a nice piece of mahagony wood for it so it may stay natural, again it depends on if i dont screw it upLOL Let me hear your thots and/or any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croaticum Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) Jing Jang thingie i guess! I was thinking of modified DIME head but thousands of people done that allready and i allways liked this shape. It is pointy but estetic + it is not 100% that it will look like it looks at this stage. Edited January 10, 2006 by croaticum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont mind to hand out the designe to anyone that would want it. Just PM me and ill send you a vectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croaticum Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Im going tomorrow to pick up a mahagomy for mine. Cant wait, So I guess youll have a first pic tomorrow.I dont know why but i want to do it in 3 piece wood so i dont have to mount my neck on a glue joint. Strange vibe since i started to think about this project. Mailman it would be sweet if you would paint yours like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailman Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) lol, its been put off again till tomorow morning damnit and no, i wont have pics for a while. i'm so incredibly behind in just about everything in life right now, lol. and doug here is making it, i just took for freakin' ever to finalize the design and overnight the template to him. i havnt talked to him in like a month and a half he probably thinks i bailed on the deal! but yeah...tomorow....i wont sleep in....its getting mailed... and i like the colors there! but mine will be trans black, white mult-binding, white stripes painted on it, body is white/black korina, block inlays, gold hardware, etc. i needa shutup, it hasnt even begun yet...but as a testament to my commitment to this, i just sold off one of my guitars to make sure i have enough money to complete it good luck on your project, dont get lagged behind like me!

croaticum Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I got my wood today All they had of mahagony wood was this: 2.5 m long 5cm thick 14.5 cm wide Since here is so damn cold here i took it to a mill so the guys there will cut it, slim it to 3.5 cm thickness. I should end up with a board 50x50. sorry no pictures jet I plotted the plans and am waiting for mill to call back IT HAS BEGUN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailman Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 isn't 3.5 a little toooo small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadmike Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 my last guitar was 35mm and i really liked it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croaticum Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 well the 35mm is the thiceness of all guitars i builted (bodies). Ibanez makes its guitars 35mm, i think, and it would be strange to the eye if i done it in 40 or 50 since it has tribal spikes at the end. I guess i just want to make it look "sharp" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
