if someone were to want it then possibly in the future, but right now i don't know what my prices will be. i'm not charging this guy what any other builder would charge a) because he's a friend and b) because i'm still at school.

dude, seriously when you start doing orders, I may have a job for you.

b3n · 05-26-2006, 05:31 AM

Looks like great work and I'm diggin' the shape.

That headstock is one of the nicer looking i have seen.

is the body going to have any cutouts like schecter models or is it going to be untouched ?

darren · 05-26-2006, 08:10 AM

The body shape works really well... you've kept the proportions looking quite balanced despite the really deep cutaways and relatively thin horns. The headstock doesn't look right to me.

Is the top carve complete? There's something about it that strikes me as a little odd, like it's flat around a really wide perimeter, and then there's this sudden "hump" to a raised flat area in the middle.

Wow, I also might be interested in that once you get going. Pretty cool stuff.

metalfiend666 · 05-26-2006, 08:30 AM

That's looking really good. Of all your designs so far this is my favourite. I like the reversed headstock. Roll on the finished pictures!

Dendroaspis · 05-26-2006, 08:41 AM

Adam, that is unbelievably cool - I just love that modified RG shape, and your reverse headstock. Do I see an edge rout on that maple cap for binding? And do I see the beginnings of inner-horn bevels, a la SG? Awesome.
It's really great to see your progress, you're doing us proud bro.
And like everyone else says, I too will seriously consider ordering a 7 or 8 in this style from you. Keep up the great work!

no, you see binding

i bound the cap before i made the body blank, i'm basically using the cap as my template. the horns are bevelled a little bit as part of the carve...

and thanks all, and i'll definately be letting this forum know when i'm ready to build full time

That guitar demands no less than an oil finish!
