  1. 8 String Guitar For Connor Brown Of Putrefy

    in In Progress and Finished Work

    Posted

    hi matt, no im not on the sevenstring forum that im aware of?!

    anyway heres a wee update, i did an ash and black line veneer today on the back of the headstock to beef it out and add alittle more support, (then thought of 8 strings tuggin on that thing while being thrown around on stage gave me the willys!) i also like the look! I like the look of anything non-standard in fact- but heres a couple of photos:

    and less blurry, the ash which will match the grain on the body:

    Like the design....body/neck/inlays.......headstock doesn't do it for me. Too pointy......doesn't match well with rest of guitar. The rest looks well balanced. Headstock looks outta shape.

    Don't get me wrong...not trying to throw rocks at your greenhouse.

    Good luck with the project.

    Though i like the headstock it's irrelevant as its the choice of my customer. He wanted something with a bit of attitude, as well as being big enough to comfortably support 8 tuners.

    But yeah, cheers for the input!

    better shot of the headstock, a sort of Ibanez/E.S.P hybrid on steroids for extra badness! :
