    i say go with a custom headstock thats symmetrical and has serrated sides i'd suggest a V but after my thread, doesnt look like too many people take kindly to the V look
  2. mailman
    How So? Im oppen to any Idea's !!METAL MATT!! ← just try to make it more sharp/angled like the serrated edge of a bowie knife that'd rock bro!

    okay, so are you guys suggesting the vol knob go a) on the top angled in the top c) on the inside of the bottom V wing and yeah, ill move the vol knob. i was just quickly puttin it in where do you guyst suggest it go? i always **** up placing these things, one of my designs had em behind the bridge and later found out that was a big no-no :-p does the headstock still need work/ is it too big? i kinda like a big one, but if its really gonna throw off the balance then ill adjust accordingly...

    heres an updated version of the body this lookin a bit cooler or should i stick to the traditional look? i widended the "v" on the bottom, and of course you can see what i did to the sides and i fillet'ed the points to make em more realistic headstock more or less stayed the same

    argh i have no idea what you just said so im just gonna get a tape measure out thanks anyway
  6. mailman
    i would be playing straight rock and metal on this one thats for sure

    *** is up with the back of the necks on those things? or am i just seeing things..
  8. mailman
    i need the dimensions for a 24.75 scale neck the nut would be a FR locking... sorry for sounding like a noob but i just needa know what the exact measurements the fretboard would be for these templates im drawing up (for a body) and i needa make sure its all in proportion i'm sure all this stuffs in a thread somewhere...i just cant find it...

    okay, going by this pick of a king v the KV is wider in points than mine, so should i make my points even closer? and the trem in mine is just about as close as the jackson im not arguing your points guys, just confirming the changes before i draw more ideas up
  10. mailman
    no way i want to make this look like the washburn dime v that thing was hideous (the body shape) plus their headstocks were deliberately crooked, and i want this symetrical
  11. mailman
    is there any advantages, other than looks of course, to only putting in one pickup? also, if i was to only put in one in the bridge, and only have a volume pot with no tone pot...what would be the pros/cons to this and/or what effects would it have? thanks
  12. mailman
    set neck and also, by when i said "generic" i meant i dont want people saying "whoa, nice Jackson" or "nice washburn" i wanna be a lil more original than just copying the king v body....but it just looks so nice...
  13. mailman
    Kinda see where your going with that Primal and i agree to a point.. (no pun intended)... perhaps a little but remember its YOUR guitar so with whatever suggestions we give... take em in but also go with what YOU think is right At the moment when i see that headstock i think... Washburn ~~ Slain Angel ~~ ← alright, ill try some drafts a little "shorter" so i can play sitting down, see how it looks and yeah, the headstock is definately "washburnish dime"...still kinda working on it, my sketches were a little different thanks for the input
  14. mailman
    updated sept 15 This V template im working on (this forum is in progress, so i think im posting in the right place) is it too generic? I dunno, just any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Should i make the V wider perhaps? I dunno, i'm just fishin' for ideas from you pros
  15. mailman
    sorry
  16. mailman
    i was going thru some of my files after i re-installed autoCAD so i cna start draft work on the guitar i wanna get built up and came across this body i did back in highschool for an assignment (in CAD) the final product looked like ass....cant remember why but i had to alter the body to get it to connect 3D or whatever but this one looked better. no front horn though, forgot why i rubbed that out. i think the two i deas i was floating around was either a mockingbird type horn or a really sharp inwards "sg" type anyway, should i get back to work on this one or is it a bust?
  17. mailman
    yes. thank you. thats all i wanted to know.
  18. mailman
    well that wasnt much help...
  19. mailman
    ...to get a body routed for a FR bridge (not the hardware, just to get it cut)
  20. mailman
    looks like a Moser to me
  21. mailman
    +1 problem solved
  22. mailman
    another Q should i request to the guys not to route out a neck pocket? would there be an advtange to the way the neck is set? or will the strat-heel pocket be just fine for this kinda guitar?
  23. mailman
    thats all great but how is it musically?
  24. mailman
    black walnut?
  25. mailman
