killemall8 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 next in line. super strat, jackson soloist style with 28 frets = SHREDDER GUITAR!!!! just wating on a cocobolo fretboard from Erik. this should be a cool build. it will have kustom shop pearlesent paint on body and headstock, and a oiled mahogany neck. the paint is red/ dark blue shifting paint. i have enough wood for probably 5 guitars, and about 10 neck blanks. i might do a few with desert camo paint. but we will see. all i have done as of now is the body cut out, and front and rear contours done.

killemall8 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 just a 25.5 scale. this one will probably be a guitar that goes straight for sale. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderekel Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 cool, looks like a fun project. Is it just gonna have one pickup with the 28 frets, or are ya still gonna fit two in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 im not sure, i think it should fit 2. hopfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bygde Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Why not do it the Caparison way? Slanted humbucker in singlecoil size, and a chopped off 28th fret? Yes, I know that the Caparison has 26 frets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awfernald Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm very interested to see how this turns out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 i could do it like that one, but... i dont know, i am just stuck in my own world of traditional looks and stuff like that. i have to push myself to do something just a little different in the first place. thanks though. it should be a cool build. i am really excited about this one. ill let you guys know as soon as i get the fretboard, because by then it should be all ready to go.

ihocky2 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Well, I know your a fan of Jackson's and I know some of the Charvel models have the same configuration with the slanted neck, SC sized pickup. Can't remember which models have it though at this moment. I think it was the 375 and maybe the Model 4, but that is just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killemall8 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 here is another body i just got thru with. it is insane how much it looks like ash! it looks so much like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 That really is some nice looking poplar. I think with a nice dye job, you could get a nice looking transparent finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 of course like always, my plans have changed. i will be using a different body shape instead. i will keep you guys updated. i will finishe these too, but not for a while.

killemall8 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 i dont know if i should start a new thread or not. what do you guys think? all the specs are the same, but the body will be different. i will post a pic of the body tomorrow. but be warned, this is a body style only one other person on here has done. its pretty out there. i hope i dont disgrace the good name of it. anyway, let me know what i should do. start a new thread, or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderekel Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'd say keep it on here, whatever happens with the old body could be a new thread. Just my thoughts though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
