thats some awesome wood and nice shape

i don't think you will get the cover off a emg without hurting something check here http://www.universaljems.com/cart/pcover.htm there is a black plastic cover toward the bottom ahh perfect thanks

point taken

this one is awesome, did u make it? that is amazing. i hope i can be able to do something like that someday. that headstock is also orgasmic!

does that finish look blue or is that just me? maybe its just the lighting. sweet guitar tho

ya i like that body too, its classic. also another favorite headstock, the schecter diamond series headstock:

how much?

Hey, I've been trying to decide on a body shape for my guitar and I went to google to try and find a website that has a list of a lot of body shapes but I had no luck. I don't know if this is allowed here or not and if it's not, I'm sorry . So what do you guys think is the coolest guitar body design, whether it be your own design or from your favorite brand name guitar. INCLUDE PICTURES!!! I will add mine in a second. Also, if you want to add your favorite headstock shape that would be cool too! My favorite shape and headstock:

ya this site is going to help a lot. if its ok with the admin here i was thinking of making one thread on just helping me make my own guitar and i would update questions as i go along. like if i needed help on cutting the wood i would update it and then all you smart people could help me out with it.

do you think i should start off making a guitar out of scrap wood? i wouldnt put electronics in it or anything of course but just to get the idea before i go and mess up a nice piece of mahogany. or should i just go for it? also, should i really get that book? i dont really want to have to pay 25 bucks for it. is there anywhere online that its in ebook form?

haha will do, hopefully emg covers come off cuz i want my pickups to match

Ahh that's a good idea, striping it from a guitar that already does this. Thanks. Now I just have to find one that does it.

i have no idea how this is done, can someone explain it to me? is it possible to mod my pickups so it will allow me to do this (im using a cheap starter guitar)? will it ruin my pickups if it is possible to do this to them?

ok first off, im new here and i dont even know if im going to make a guitar or not. i really want to but im 15 and know only basic things about woodworking. my dad is the one that would show me how to do this kind of stuff and even he doesnt think he would be able to make a guitar. do u think i should go for it or should i take another shop class next year before i start this? if i were to make one, my body is going to have a flame maple top with this finish. i dont know how to make it look just like that, if you have seen it in person (its a schecter c-1 plus that i took into photoshop and made it grey) youll know it has a thick layer of gloss (is that what its called?). youll also notice it has that black outline around it that fades into the flame maple top. does anyone know how i can get it to look just like this? or do you think i should go a different route and get a different finish or paintjob. i want something unique, even tho the flame maple top isnt all that unique i really like it. also, is there a site anywhere that has inlay previews? ive been looking for a simple inlay that i like and the only one i like is the simple/boring dot inlays. maybe ill just go with that. or make my own if i figure out how to do that. thanks for the help
