Superstrat idea...

oh, i could also see this guitar as a carve top instead of bevels, thatd be an option for sure, when i'm building in the future.

So elysian, when are you making me an 8-string RG-type model?

Shawn · 05-18-2006, 12:25 AM

Sharp design, I dig the bevels.

Here's how you solve the neck heavy problem. Check the lower strap button placement on this:

This throws more of the body weight onto the tail end of the guitar, pitching the neck up. The neck on this guitar is like a baseball bat, and it is extra long to accomedate full access to the 29th fret. However, it balances perfectly, with an almost 45 degree neck angle if I want it.

i did something similar to that on my first guitar, its on the upper bout right about the middle of it... but its still absurdly neck heavy... anyways, i modified the design today, the guy this would be for liked the basic idea, but wanted it smaller than his UV... i trimmed a little bit off the outside edges of the horns, but not a ton, and i slimmed the ass end up a bit, its thinner than an RG down there, but wider at the horns a little, and the waist came out a little bit too, though its still thin... i think it looks nice, i'll scan that when i get home tonight.
