!!METAL MATT!! Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I'm guessing thats NOT you holding the pickup Matt? jeez by the looks of things you might even FINNISH a guitar **is so dead** No thats my Girl holding my EMG Im working on three guitars right now and every one of them will be finished, it seems to be the one I build for myself that never get far But this 8 string WILL BE BUILT. I for the most part get board of some guitars I start so they get tossed aside, I have so much fun designing guitars that I never seem to stop and its not long befor I get all happy about another design and start all over again with a new chunk of wood I hope so. that walnut was a bit of a hastle. and Ill be pissed if nothing good comes of it... No Kiding!! no worries man !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travismoore Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 That ebony on the headstock looks awsome =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 looking good Matt! What colour inlay are you going to go for? as you've got quite a light fretboard maybe a darker inlay would look cool? maybe use some of that nice pretty Ebony and make some inlays!

Desopolis Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I dont think it was an attack Matt, untill 11 or so I dont think you even had a stable shape, let alone wood choices... and I dont care untill I see the damn walnut! all that trouble and no payoff here is like trying to date a nun.

Ive had enough of these litel pokes and twists and tiny attacks This is in responce to your ORIGINAL pre-modified post... Why are you so sensative? Your an adult, posting on a (majority) adult website, asking for advice and opinion from other adults. Why cant someone make a small comment about your design (so far) without you carrying on about how you are being picked on. No one is picking on you. No one. YOU are posting up here asking for approval/opinion/comment/discussion/etc... yet your upset when someone gives an opinion/question, that isnt drawn out and filled with roses to dumb it down. If you havent got a consice, well thought out plan, you shouldnt be starting to build the guitar. That is your biggest mistake. Enthusiasm is a good thing to have, but in your case its a negative. One of the biggest mistakes i see on here is mismatched headstocks. Black goes with anything, it can match the neck material, or the body colour, but anything else looks wierd, and not aesthetically pleasing. MOST guitar makers (eg: non pro) make the same mistake. Sure the guitar looks great, but there is something people always view with the "there is something not quite right" mentality. You can take this post as "having a go", or advice. Think about it, or cry about it. Up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted December 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Thanks Perry I do Bleave your Right about the headstock, I'll see if there is any thing I can do to pull the headstock into the Neck and body some how, any ideas you want to share there would be cool man!! BUT about the Other things PLEASE man you've shared you thoughts and wisdom many many times with me and now its up to me to either use it or flush it but hearing the same thing over and over is geting tired and greating and makeing it harder and harder to take in what your saying with an evin eye and its makeing ME fell like Crap So please man leave it like that and let me grow how I will !!METAL MATT!!

!!METAL MATT!! Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I got a new Mockup done, the headstock is off in color and design but this gives a good idea of what the guitar will look like !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 You know it is kind of funny, That scoop at the end of the fretboard on your 8 string is slightly modified from my "bat wing" scoop at the end of the fretboard for my concept of WarriorofMetal's 7 string "Dragon Rider". I took the scoop idea from CanuckBrian's 8 string. So unintentionally you modified it from what I modified it to, to what it was originally, and they are both 8 strings. Odd, funny, ironic, synonym... And caught up in my rant..... I forgot to say anything of your mock up. It looks great, i think that scoop in the fretboard really works for the design. A good counter-point (forgive the pun) to the lower point. Hard shape to match the headstock with but the one you have on there doesn't look as out of place as I thought it would.

travismoore Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Wow that looks awsome =) I Really like the way it looks with wood rather than plain colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitefly SA Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I like the fade to black on the fretboard, but how would you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 i think the mockup looks SUPER kick ass matt...something about the headstock shape does not flow in MY mind,but don't worry about that...your guitar,your style decision. i hope like hell that the finished guitar looks as sweet as that mockup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 i wouldn't, don't cover up that beautiful wood... Thats how I feel BUT I thought it would be cool to see what People thought of the Idea, I think its a cool idea and with something like a maple fret board !!METAL MATT!!

westhemann Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 i feel as if fading to black on the fretboard would take away the simple class that the wood grain gives it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) i feel as if fading to black on the fretboard would take away the simple class that the wood grain gives it. Well I think that if the guitar was theamed for fadeing than it would Kill BUT since its a simple wood look I want the fade is not something I want to do at all, but like I said on a nother neck it would be cool has any one ever seen this done? pics? i think the mockup looks SUPER kick ass matt...something about the headstock shape does not flow in MY mind,but don't worry about that...your guitar,your style decision. i hope like hell that the finished guitar looks as sweet as that mockup Thanks Wes, and yes the headstock in the Full mockup does NOT look right at all it should look more like this (with out the black on the Board) http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d177/dea...itar/neck-1.jpg !!METAL MATT!!

Prostheta Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 How about a scorched finish on the wood a la Slabbefusk's RG? That way you should be able to darken bits of the wood instead of hiding it. Well, maybe not. But darken it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
