anyone else got any more pictures or something so i can look at a few?

THOSE are pictures i would love to have a lot of. i love seeing necks like that. great work!

Does the W stand for walnut? If so, let me just say what a joy walnut is to work with. It's also a great counterpart to maple, and makes a good contrast. -Dave that was just an example of a 5 way combo of woods, i still dont know what woods im going to use i know so far that its going to be 2 thicker curly maple peices on the outside like - CM|??|??|??|CM CM = curly maple

oh you tease

I see what you mean, the music I play is metal but I hate those crazy weirdo quitars like deans and suck. they are just too out there for me. I'm looking for something original that makes people double-take when they see it. I guess if I want something original I shouldnt be asking you guys eh . The problem with copying my favorite guitars is that I dont want to copy a guitar, I want my own original design that sticks out in the crowd but after looking through almost 15 pages in the IP and F forum I can see that its going to be hard to pull that off, you guys make great guitars and I just wish I could do that. Some of them in there look like a guitar you would buy at any guitar store like a copy of an already made guitar but some of them are just like WOW I'm going to sit and stare at this one for a second and then go change my pants - like this one.

I apologize for all these pointless threads about body shapes and headstocks etc, I'm just trying to look at everything possible before I put it all together on paper and I haven't seen many neck wood combonations when I googled it. I'll stop making these threads if you want. So what is your favorite neck wood combo? So far I know I want curly maple on the 2 outside parts but I dont know what to put in the inside, probably a 5 way combonation like M|W|A|W|M or something I just don't know what wood to use yet.

You started the "Coolest Body Shapes" thread which attracted a lot of responses ... nothing came from that for you? How about previous "Guitars of the Month" ... have you been back through those? If you keep hanging around this place I doubt you're going to limit yourself to one build, so jump in and try building the guitar above. Once you've done that, you'll have a hundred ideas for things you want to do differently or better on your second build! ive been through year 2002 of the GOTM threads and its still pretty hard to find something i havent fallen for. that guitar i posted there is one i wanted to buy before i discovered guitar making. it was not by any means my dream guitar its just something i was looking into because of the specs. maybe ill just make an ibanez sabre shape but i still have to go to GC and try one out. i guess i just gotta draw like crazy edit: ive also been through every thread on the first 10 or so pages in the in progress and finished section, still looking through there

ive always liked that wood

i just cant find a guitar body that i like and want to make a guitar out of. anyone else ever have this problem or am i just not creative. i want a guitar thats original and sticks out but not like those nasty deans. also something i can actually play sitting down unlike V shaped guitars

thats kind of stupid why someone would think that wood wouldnt effect the sound. if it didnt why wouldnt we just make guitars out of cheap plywood instead of expensive aftrican mahogany and what not

ok got it

Ibanez Sabres Does anyone know the disadvantages of a skinny guitar like that? I want to make a guitar like that but I want to know if it's a bad idea so I need to know why all guitars aren't like that, thanks.

i dont know if im aloud to give links to other sites but this is the thread speer was talking about http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showt...age=1&pp=20 remove it or tell me i cant put it here and ill edit it

http://www.musicradar.com/gear/all/guitars...e-152725/review ive been thinking about making my guitar body really thin like that but i dont know if it changes anything, does it?

now THAT is what i needed, thank you drak

that is awesome. ive been wondering for a while now, is there a thread that lets people show off their new handmade guitar or is that what guitar of the month is for? because a thread with a lot of pictures would help me find what shape i want to use for my guitar. i looked through the guitar of the month thread pictures and i got to about march of 04 then i had to go to bed, maybe ill just continue doing that. some amazing guitars in those threads

do u know any guitar that has a mini toggle switch like u said? im not quite sure what you mean

ugh i know, schecters site is all in flash so its impossible to paste links to certain guitars on their site. i usually just go to guitar centers site and find it on there and paste that link. im gonna go look up that guitar

Well first off I need to know demensions and stuff like that. I'm hoping to make a 3d model of the guitar I want.

Alright so I just installed AutoCAD on my computer. I'm not any good with this at all but my dad does it for a living and I wanted to draw a full scale of the guitar I want to build. Is there a website that does this kind of thing? I dont know how to start

ohh i see, thanks

wouldnt they cancel eachother out? im confused

hmmm i had an idea today, but i dont know if it will work. for all you microphonic pickup geniuses, do you know if its only possible for a pickup to be microphonic if its humbucking or can this be done with a single coil? if it can be done with a single coil pickup then my guitar build would be H-S-H and i would only use the singlecoil for such purpose.

agreed

wow, parable guitars are awesome! kind of makes me want to make a mirror top instead of a finish!
