I'm just about done with it and i'll have ALOT of pics up soon i've also made a few changes ike to color and scale and other stuff. It's not perfect at all but i really like it and it looks METAL AS H*LL!
-
What do you think, did you think about it. And for headstock 2,3,or4 would fit fine I think, it's gotta be wide enough though as your neck is so wide. ← well i dont want the strap to be getting caught up in the back "horns"
-
help me out with choosing a headstock design
-
is this better and the head stock has been modified....to scale with everything
-
heres wut the body will look like..cleaner, shaped guitarjust scroll down. the lines on the inside of the guitar represent the carved pieces.
-
HERES ANOTHER OF THE SAME DESIGN BUT WITH A SMALLER BODY....OTHER

I'm not jumping on you (or anything even remotely like that), but I think you're kinda missing the whole point, even after Jeremy tried to make it really simple for you. You're asking for feedback on your designs, but you don't seem to get the fact that we can't really judge them at all from your rough sketches, because the proportions are completely off. In other words, we still have no more than a very vague idea what your guitar is going to look like! Don't feel obligated to make scale drawings for our benefit - just don't expect to get any useful feedback until you go to the effort necessary to show us the guitar's shape fairly accurately. You're gonna have to do it before you build it, anyway. Just my two cents... ← WELL HERE IT IS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT ALOT TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE DESIGN AND MAKE IT TO SCALEHERE IT IS
-
serously i like it just the way it is but thanks any ways. I know it will be heavy as H*LL but my guitarist in my band is strong and he'll be able to work with it! aslo i have another drawing not to scale but i might do this design also design2 and these sketches are not to scale becuase they are just ideas now, but i'll make one to scale just for you people who want one.
-
here's a back view tell me if this might explain somethings( if i have enough heel wood)back side
-
thanks, do i didnt draw it to scale its just a ruff sketch. thanks for the advice 2.
-

i'm listening clearly, you guys arn't understanding me, i keepon doin the calculations and keep on getting 2 1/8 or something around that i've tooken a 6 string measured the nut and took a 7 string measured the nutand subtracted them and added the diferencei've tooken the nut measure ofmy 7 string divided it by 7 and then multiplied it my 8 same calculation, i talked to one of the guys that did a 8 string and he did the same thing and came out witha much bigger numbersomthing like 2.78 inches and i've retried the math so i'm not doing that wrong andthe guy at lgm said" if I remember correctly the Leviiiathan's are about 2 3/4" or 2 7/8" wide at the nut"sowhy am i getting such a different number?
-
what the hell.. it's the same damn thing. math is math, related dimenstions are just that. you change one, the other changes. Doesn't matter if it's 6 or 60 strings. ← hey didn'tyou say this"i give up. 4 pages into this thread and i think it's time for this..."so i thought you gave up on calling mean idiot!
-
yes i have that book and tom hirst's,and doland brosnac's and no where in them do they mention how to figure out the anything more than a 6 string so really.....yeah.
-
hey look i did my research and what not but it came out way different that every one else's researchso that'sy i commented so stop callen me lazy!
-
I already have a plan, and there is no need to be mean. accually i'vehad a plan this whole time just trying to makesure its alright!
-
no serioulsy if someone wouldhave said this earlier this would have been so short! insted of ppl saying "figure it out your self" implying that there was a way of figuring it out andbeing snotty thanks thought
-
i agree about the last part its jsut a frustraiting about like allone person had to say was "there is no formula and that your best bet is to measure and add" andthis post would have been a quarter of a page long!
