Guitarfrenzy Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I like it, but for some reason, I keep thinking the bottom part of the guitar body was traced from a Budda picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElysianGuitars Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 not a bad design there, though in the middle of the crotch of the V, looks like a nutsack holder really though, looks very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngaa Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Matt, that heel looks SEXY. I would love to play this thing. The shape has grown on me a lot; when I first saw it I didn't like it at all, but now I do. And that cavity rout looks really nice n' clean. Good stuff.

Bryan316 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Somehow I don't see this guitar playing any Howlin' Wolf or BB King so it probably doesn't need the neck pickup. It's safe to say this guitar will only see serious chunkin' and lots of meedlymeedlies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAI6 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I know you're not new to this, but it seems the distance between the end of the fretboard and the bridge is really short. Is the scale length right, or is it just an optical illusion? There just seems to be so little space between the bridge and the neck. I'm just picturing trying to fit another HB and SC in there (HSH set up), and it looks impossible..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 oh yeah i keep forgetting to ask you MATT what do you bit do you use for your bevels? what degree and from where did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Yeah, Matts bevels do come out nice and clean. As for the scale, i think its just an optical illusion as Matts not going mess that up. I don't know the scale length, it does *look* short, so maybe its a 24fret 25" scale. Also, that is 7 string hardware on there which is bigger obviously than 6, so it kinda throws off the scale of everything when looking at. Using one humbucker as well looks different slightly and he places it off the bridge a bit. So I think its just optical illusion. I'm glad to see you back and at it Matt! Shortly after your trip to be an apprentice of sorts you kinda phased slowly out of here. Its cool to see your work and designs back in action! Nice work and keep 'em coming.

ElysianGuitars Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 how come you didn't just go with a straight cavity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
