thrasher! Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) Now that I've got all the parts, maybe I can maybe start making this thing soon! Based on the Jackson King-V design: Rock Maple Neck-through Mahogany wings Ebony 24-fret fingerboard (pre-slotted, cheat!) Kahler 2300 trem unit Graphite nut ( + Kahler string lock) EMG 81 / 85 pickups & 20db pre-amp Inverted headstock w/mini tuners Here is the plywood mock-up with all the exciting bits layed on it: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h130/thr...g_g_plywood.jpg The head dimensions were measured incorrectly off my Jackson PS-1 so the one pictured is actually wrong. Whaddya think ? Edited November 13, 2006 by thrasher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrasher! Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 :)pretty cool. what colour you going for? I love black hardware it rocks. should be a great guitar Most probably white, although metallic silver comes in a close 2nd. Black would be cool too but I don't think the contours would stand out as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very classy, especially contrasting with the black hardware! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrasher! Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Well I still haven't started making this yet....I neglected to consider where I was going to build it So the first job after winter is to construct a proper workshop round the back of the house. Anyway, here's some 3d-sketches I've been working on over the last few weeks: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h130/thr.../Flying_G/4.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h130/thr.../Flying_G/3.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h130/thr.../Flying_G/2.jpg wireframe: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h130/thr.../Flying_G/5.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Most probably white, although metallic silver comes in a close 2nd. There is no such thing as non-metallic silver. Non-metallic silver is gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-metallic silver is gray. Nitpicker - "silver" in my sketch was gray and looked rubbish, as did white - hence the lovely mauve colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MzI Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Looking at your plywood mock up it appears as if you are missing a crutical element to the overall shape of the King V, the bottom half of the V has a decent curve to it unlike the BC Rich version where the wings are just straight similiar to what you have. Go take a look at the Jackson website and youll be able to see it. Personally I think it is far more appealing with the curve there and thats why the King V I am building has that shape to it.

Noted,- I have the curve in my full-size pencil plans though. I didn't bother with the curve for the plywood mockup as it was just to get a feel for the real thing - the wings were the wrong shape too! Unfortunately I couldn't model the curve in the 3D-model either as the program started throwing a wobbler, although I think there is another way to achieve the same effect).
