i like the first one. very minimalist.

i love that design. that's the kind of design that i like to make. i can't wait to see it with that carved top.

i don't like flame paintjobs.

i don't like skulls on guitars.

somehow i love that guitar. your airbrush skills are ridiculous.

i'm not much for headless instruments, but that design looks awesome. the shape really goes well with the fact that it's fretless IMO. and the no magnetic pickups leaves more of that beautiful wood to be admired. very nice.

wow this is a tough month. yet still there was no decision to be made for me. dave's rg is one of the most beautiful guitars i've ever seen.

i love algee's paint job though. the reversed colors on the pickguard looks so nice.

i'd go with the legacy. the viper is close, but the legacy just agrees with me. i do agree that the headstock needs work though. something sleeker.

it is ridiculous how beautiful that guitar is. very very nice work.

i'm with matt on this one. it's not the type of guitar i would normally go for, but this is beautiful. very nice job!

i like that new one much better than the first. the first seemed kinda stubby to me. the new elongated one is much better IMO.

i'm not much into pointy guitars, but your designs are some of the only ones i can stand. it's nice to see someone who knows how to design a guitar that is tastefully brutal.

i really want to see you finish one of these.

looks great. the rounded back is a bit odd at first, but i think it looks good.

i love that maple as well. amazing work as always.

correct me if i'm wrong on anything.

fanned frets are nothing like a buzz feiten system. having fanned frets simply allows you to have a shorter scale length on your treble strings (so you can tune them higher) and a longer scale length on bass strings (so you can tune them lower while maintaining tension).

i've never seen fanned frets on anything less than an 8 string guitar. on 6 and 7 stringers, it's just not necissary. only if you're wanting to hit a low F# or a high A (or both ) do you really need fanned frets.

i agree with not putting a top on that. that cherry is too beautiful to cover up.

i love that guitar. the simplicity of one pickup and one volume knob leave more wood uncovered and adds to the beauty.

i'd just like to throw in that if you call carvin you can get a bolt neck with a maple fretboard. if it's the right dimensions i'd say that'd be a great choice.

wow all of those look great. i really want to see some of these get finished.

i as well especially like this one:

the design is so fluid. i love it.

i'm hoping he meant he could pay you through paypal or money orders.

i'm also open for recieving bodies. i'd pay shipping certainly and more if you'd like (and if i had the money right then).

that walnut looks absolutely beautiful. the finish as well.

i wouldn't have put a quilt veneer on the headstock, but it looks like you did a very nice job with it. i'd also suggest using some walnut for a truss rod cover.

looks like a bearded man's face

exactly what i thought. not a particularly happy bearded man either.

i don't really know how to accentuate the carving. a burst perhaps?

Cellulose = Botany.

Just thought I would pick nits

wouldn't botany be considered a branch of biology? biology is the study of life. botany is the study of plants. plants are alive.

also picking nits.

that top looks amazing. i can't wait to see it finished.

sorry guys im new here and i couldnt figuire how to post pics on this forum any help would be much appreciated

p.s (jellyman sorry if i stole your name or somthing)

you can host it on there, and then post a link to it here.

my only suggestion would be to go with chrome hardware instead of nickel. The "coldness" and brightness of the chrome (as opposed to the slightly warmer nickel) would accent the dark, shiny black a little better.

what i was gonna say. i love the cold blue tint of chrome. granted that guitar is still amazing with nickel. nice work.

I really try to avoid playing what I can't, and I try to focus on what I can.

sounds to me like you succeeded.

i loved the tone, i loved the playing, i love the guitar. awesome work.

i haven't personally tried out that kit, but assembling a kit before you take on a from scratch build is probably a good idea. i chose a carvin bolt for my kit.

i'm liking the ideas behind this, as well as the vampyre you cut out. there's just a few things i'd change if i were the one doing it.

instead of having it covered in red, i'd cover it in black, with maybe some red "veins" in it. and definately chrome corners.

i'd have the grill cloth or whatever you'll be using be black as well, possibly outlined in chrome.

for knobs i like the black knob with red lettering idea. with a chrome control plate.

i don't see anyone giving you a hard time. i see people trying to help because they've been through what you're doing, and know what worked for them and what didn't. of course you can do it however you want. they're just trying to help.

it looks like you've done a good amount of planning on this. i'm eager to see how this turns out.
