NickCormier Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hey guys.. Considering starting my first 2 project guitars... well depending on how one goes... I was going to do a Jackson Kelly shape, but Im quite interested in the Rhoads shape I do love the Jackson Rhoads / ESP Alexi shape and look.. its just I want to be able to sit down with my guitar to play.. And I dont like the classical position, I also kinda slouch in my chair when I play, so thats why normally I only play Strat shapes or Kelly shapes.. no Vs (like this shape, IMO looks really cool other than the color) http://www.bmusic.com.au/images/aerv398al.jpg I was curious though, saw that Gothic cutaway Rhoads that someone here made, how the upper side was like carved out, kinda like those Moser or Rico Jr guitars.. I was wondering, If I could do something like that to make a little cut in on the bottom, so it could rest on my leg and be able to play like that.. That would be perfect.. but Im not exactly sure how to do it, im not very artistic at all lol Anyone wanna help me with the design? As I said, I cant make it look good, no matter how hard I try adding half circles and etc, Its just weird... I can't picture it in my mind, so therefor I cant draw it. I know theres some really creative people on here tho (Metal Matt, etc) so could someone gimme a nice rough sketch of how it might look cool and be practical?

NickCormier Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 This is the post I was talking about, who did a Rhoads but with cutaways that made it look good.. If one of the top ones was somehow on the bottom, making it practical to play like normal Strat shapes... That would be awesome http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...8&hl=gothic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFW Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Why not try somehting like the Gibson Moderne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 (edited) Why not try somehting like the Gibson Moderne? I would have to say that if you like a V shape like the RR you will never buy a moderne! They are sooo ugly!

The royal consort Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 If I remember correctly Steinburg get round this problem with some kind of attachable / movable leg rest.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VesQ Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 If I remember correctly Steinburg get round this problem with some kind of attachable / movable leg rest.... You don´t need any ugly attachable devices with this. http://www.carvinmuseum.com/images/yearbyy..._v220-large.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
