Hitone Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Help me decide which body design to build for the Wildflower Festival guitar? Keep in mind that I am going to be among a lot of beautifully painted guitars. I'll need to stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliemc Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 B Speaks to me, but I think thats probobly because it looks a lot like my Alpha model. But if you want to stand out then C has a more physical presence due to its bulk . Id put the top horn from B onto C & go with that maby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripthorn Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I like C, but think A stands out most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I like B best, but C leaves more room for embelishment. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 A would be better if it balanced properly like most offset shapes do....the Zeta springs to mind. Ping onto Warmoth and look at their "Z" body. B is nice. C is like a fat Jag. Two very bad points of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiKro Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 uh! The White one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob123 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 This is what I imagine "A" would look akin too upon completion. By far my favorite bass, hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govtmule Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I like B the best as a body shape but I think that C goes better with the headstock shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwyattf Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 "B" is for Bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 B is the most pleasing to look at. However, I feel the headstock shape needs some tweeking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avi ten Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 the B is most balanced for playing because of the position of the narrow curves, but A looks the best. maybe you can add the A unusuall style to the Bbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I agree with Perry, however that is based on my personal taste. The headstock is a little Prince for my liking. A reminds me of my first eight-string which was based around the Zeta shape with a KL-inspired headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 B, and like mentioned above, the headstock needs some attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Aaron Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Much agreed with many of the above comments. C is lovely, balanced, etc., but the headstock is not. The headstock is rather baroque. I'd rethink it and design something that complements the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
