haydenralli Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 hey peeps, i am currently new to this thing. i have just gotten an idea based off one of my projects, but this time its looks alot better lol. i don't realy like replicating guitar design's so i choose to create my own or hybrid the f*** out of them. i have made 7 guitars as of late and sold 4 of them on ebay, this will be the first one i have done in a while.(first design PIC) my new design going to have a figured camphor top with a tiger myrtle 35" thick body and is ganna have a zebra wood neck, i have scribbled out a pic to show lol. let me know what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mender Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 my new design going to have a figured camphor top with a tiger myrtle 35" thick body and is ganna have a zebra wood neck, i have scribbled out a pic to show lol. let me know what you think My first thought is that a 35 inch thick body may be a tad heavy and difficult to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Bennett Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I like the offset horns (tulip petals?) in the new design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydenralli2 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) i don't know its based on a jazzmaster and a tulip lol, i love the tulip designs but there way too small so wat i did with the first design was photo copied the cutaways got them printed out bigger and traced it on to a les paul body and changed the horns a tad.

haydenralli2 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 ummmmmmm, does Australia even have that kind of species? i have tryed for ceder but every wood place folds and says no when they find out that i want it to make a guitar out of they say it's too soft. i want tasmanian black wood Cinda like koa but our black wood tree's don't grow as big as America's koa tree's. do you think customs will let me import some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
