Prostheta Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I'm trying to keep the design under wraps before somebody steals it, or abuses my choice before I finish :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTU 7's. Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I'm making an 8 string, and i'm using an EMG 45DC and 2 trussrods for it. The scale it's 28". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 cool man cant wait to see it man wish the best of luck to you Well, one of them is based on the (now pretty much defunct as builders) LGM Leviathan shape. I love that thing. The other is a tossup between the Jackson Warrior shape or a Mockingbird. I've a lot of deciding to do because of the obvious balance issues. The headstock is my favourite bit of "designing out" which i'll go through in good time :-D Sorry to threadjack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 no worries! yeah ill post clips up! im using a 45DC, 2 truss rods, maybe a 27" or so scale. (lets see what meshuggah use, hahahaha) Have a nice day Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'm really wondering whether to add neck pickups to my eight strings. If I do, I might pop in an EMG-J to suck it and see. I don't think the EMG-J5's i've got in the post will do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 nor do I - as others have mentioned, the string spacing will be all out of kilter and it will probably give an uneven pickup of the strings. I had played with the idea of a neck pickip, but at £85 a pop, I think not! Besides, if Meshuggah don't need a neck pickup, I don't LMAO. nice logic, I hope you approve!
