mattharris75 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 ill post a pic as soon as i figure out how Use a free service like photobucket to host the images. Then, when posting a thread, hit the little image button in the toolbar and insert the path that you copy from photobucket. Pretty simple. Also, limit of 4 pictures per post in this area of the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanthus Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Those are some nice looking woods. Can you give us any more info on the build? I'm always a fan of flamed maple (the top one in your pic). It's not as common, I feel. the wood combination should sound nice and ballsy like a Les Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojoman Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 it is nice to have a good relationship with your wood supplier ,ive stuck with the same place 10 years even if not the cheapest when they know they can forklift you a pallet of wood and youll leave it nicer than they brought it to you and they let your rummage for hours thats PRICELESS i got enough for 2+ guitars for $100 ON to the design shorter scale 24 3/8 twin active guitarhead humbuckers recessed tom bridge string thru ferules 0 neck angle hi glossy finnish using superglue , ive used this on 100's of high end custom pool cues prior to getting spray equip . and thought id demo it on mine before offering others on how to do it body shape WELL im stealing a little from several members hear and puting it together into what i like 'a little influence from wezv latest gom , a little from guitart's future build and some from huntindougs parable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolanski Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm from Chardon smack dab in the middle of the snow belt. But I will definitely look them up because i have found nothing anywhere close to me so I am pretty willing to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Not sure what it is, but something looks a bit off in the shape. Might be that I think the horns are too thick, or the curve of them could be different, but something looks off. I like the overall shape and it looks like nice works so far though. Keep it up.

I agree about the thickness of the horns but ill be carving the top down and im hoping that will bring the look im going for as for the wings im going to do the top and bottom symetrical kolansky im not real sure were chardon is im thinking its an eastern burb of cleve?? but keims would be about an hour from akron in the amish belt trust me worth the drive just remember to get gas before you go , cause its easier to find horse feed in that neck of the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolanski Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah Chardon is on the east side of Cleveland. Its about a 2 hr drive but hey the way you describe it the drive sounds like it'd be worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
