thanks i did stole one of the horns from a mocking bird then made it a little more extreme well, i got to work a little today, but the planer i was using was HORRIBLE it caught ever inch or so. so i lost maybe 1/16th of wood and now gotta find a new planer ill post pics as soon as i got the neck and the body laminates made!

i decided that i wanted a more unorthadox shape for my second guitar. but i set out to look for insperations. i love the right horn on the mocking bird becuase it just feels so good when you sit down and play. but i didint lie that ugly stub on the left side on the other hand i like the RG horn aswell as the MAB sig from deans horn. i mixed the 2 together a little drew it up, rendered it on the computer, blew it up to actual size, printed it out, taped it onto my wall with a pickup taped on for scale also note the fretboard is gonna be moved up a bit to more of an SGish style the body will consist of a 3 peice laminate curley bubinga top/walnut core/african mahagony body now also, another addition that isnt seen on here is the mother of pearl binding on the fingerboard and headstock (same design as last guitar) the headstock will have an ebony veneer and be bound aswell the "kaye" logo will be inlayed in Mother of pearl aswell the neck is a 5 peice laminate maple and bubinga but a nice accent, with no tonal qualities, becuase i like black outlines, im doing ebony veneers on the sides of the thru necks just as a very thin black line to make it sexy...what else can i say?? here are pictures of the quilted bubinga im using ( sorry bout the bad pic. ) Pic of the quilted bubinga heres the mahagony im using African Mahagony pic here are specs for the curious BODY: top species - bubinga Core species - walnut body species - african mahagony Neck: 5 peice laminate maple/bubinga thru neck construction ebony veneer accents Fingerboard: ebony no inlays sans side dots jumbo wide pyramid frets bound in mother of pearl 25.5" scale length (dont have nut or 12 fret mesurments yet) Headstock: Kustom shape bound in mother of pearl Kaye inlay in mother of pearl 3x3 Electronics: (still deciding) airnorton/superdistortion seems like another solid choice again ive gotten mixed feedback from differnt people.. oh well. itll sell good. im commisioned to make it for a local shop what do you guys think!? ps sorry for the long post if you get this far Kenny

wow, thats very cool! at first i didnt like the body shape much, but tbh after the stain it just came alive and i love it! i guess im just a sucker for the blue anyways cant wait to see it all buffed out and congrats!

ENGL ENGL ENGL! low watt high gain thats the fireball (60? watts)(maybe 75) i own one personally and play thru the engl 4x12 with v30's it is in my opinion one of the BEST amps out there even if it low wattage if you want to hear the engl's go to www.rocksolidamps.com

i agree too as an artist it doesnt make sense to have a light background and a light foreground unless your specifically going for that effect in this case the background being maple it would amke sense to have a dark foreground heres one example Jackson its always good to have nice contrast to compliment one thing and black or dark green on white makesthe white pop more thats my opinion though hope this helps!

in my opinion wiht this style bridge what you do is this get your measurement 1/2 scale length from the 12th fret mark that out, eyeball where the bridge should go, make sure the line you marked gets within 3mm of the saddle. how heres the tricky part move the bridge so the saddles are a little over 3mm infront of the line (closer to the neck) then screw it in now comes the TOUGH part getting it intunated i assume you know how to do this if not ill be more than happy to explain!

thanks man! its my first time trying something like that.

oh, thanks for the heads up man! i appreciate it, and will deal with it accordingly seems like a nice enough place i think i might just stay

Thanks man ive only built one electric guitar, (came out very nice i think) and ive had no formal training in woodworking. im also only 17
