I've been designing a new guitar off and on for a while now... I think I've finally settled on what I want.
-Body shape of my own creation, somewhat Conklin and Fernandes Ravelle inspired
-Neck-thru, 3 pc. maple/bubinga/maple
-Mahogany body wings, 1 3/8" thick
-Flame Maple top, 5/8" thick, with a sharp 3/*8" "carve" (see a Yamaha AES model to see what I mean
-Stained black faux binding on the maple top, 1/4" thick
-Natural finish, slightly darker on the carved portion than on the flat top
-Offset double cutaway, bass bout meets the neck at the 19th fret, treble bout at around the 23rd
-Rosewood fretboard with natural maple binding, 24 frets at the low E to 27 or 29 on the high E (its all for the visual, I want the distance from the bass bout to the end of the fretboard to be the same for the treble bout)
-Somewhat sharktooth-shaped inlay at the 12th fret, maple center with an ebony border
-Reverse Ken Lawrence-esque headstock with matching veneer (I'd just made a headstock that echoed some of the lines in the body... very dissappointed to see that it had essentially been done before )
-Logo inlaid into headstock of the same style as the 12th fret inlay, uses the letters CKM (Cory Ker Model, or Music, or whatever)
-Single EMG81 humbucker in the bridge position, mated to a single volume control
-Black hardware (matte if possible), recessed tonepros and string-thru
-Hadn't thought about it until today, but I like the idea Brian posted about creating a recess in the back of the body for the string ferrules so that the strings don't exit the body at such a sharp angle... I'll look into this further.
-Output jack recessed into body in a way I can't describe without pictures... but it makes it easier to feed the guitar around the strap and leave less cord sticking out.
...I think that's about it. Man, I wish I did things as much as I planned them.
