Desopolis Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 is it just me or is it a bit asymmetric? can you post a pic with it leaning against something straight up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 nothing says the upper and lower bouts must be symetrical...i myself prefer if they are not,as long as the lines flow smoothly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG3390 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 That reminds me of my first restoration. It was a strat knockoff, and I trimmed the horns to sharpen them, making the angles on the top and bottom of them flat. It wasn't great, but not bad for my first project and doing without a bandsaw. It looks like yours will turn out better. Post pics when finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desopolis Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 no it doesnt HAVE to be, thats why Id like to see it straight up, I cant tell if I like it that way or if its just a optical illusion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheIRS Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Even being your first build, i think this is pretty good, I like it so far. What color are you planning to paint/stain/ or what are you going to do with the body? Good work, keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
