So I've pretty much finalised the design ...

Patrick O))) · 06-19-2006, 07:17 AM

I'ma waiting till after I've done my exam this saturday before I can really get stuck in though. I've been slowly gathering tools and books and stuff in the mean time

peon · 06-19-2006, 07:18 AM

thats pretty sweet, although i don't like how theres just one in lay when those inlays are usually designed to run all the way down

if it was like a unique inlay it'd be cool

Patrick O))) · 06-19-2006, 07:25 AM

Thanks man

D'you think so? I dunno ... the offsetness of it compared to the direction of the rest of the guitar appealed. That said, I pondering just having dot inlays. And possibly a rounded headstock, or just a straight point

peon · 06-19-2006, 07:27 AM

nah, the headstock is one of the nicest designs ive seen for a V shape, personally i like dot inlays the best because they're just practical. I think they would suit that guitar too

peon · 06-19-2006, 07:37 AM

i think some small dots to the side of the neck(the top basically) would suit this guitar, some company does it but i can't remember who so i can't show you a picture of what i mean

Patrick O))) · 06-19-2006, 07:51 AM

Along the side of the binding, leaving the fretboard face itself blank?

peon · 06-19-2006, 07:59 AM

no, on the fretboard, but along the top of it when you view the guitar like it is in the picture

Patrick O))) · 06-19-2006, 07:59 AM

Ah right, I get you

Patrick O))) · 06-19-2006, 08:01 AM

Yeah, there's no option for that on the design program, and it'd take ages in paint. I see what you're saying though. I'm not too fond of that myself, I prefer the symmetry

lol I know mine's not exactly symmetrical, but the juxtaposition of the inlay to the design makes up for it

peon · 06-19-2006, 08:03 AM

oh

well i think normal dots would be best then imo

Patrick O))) · 06-19-2006, 08:04 AM

This one's pretty cool :P

Edit: I' still having teh cutaways, but that's done on paint which takes a long time so ...

peon · 06-19-2006, 08:07 AM

yea that one looks pretty cool now

what parts are you having? wood, tuners, pickups, bridge etc

Patrick O))) · 06-19-2006, 08:11 AM

Either Koa (in the picture) or mahogany body, mahogany neck, ebony fretboard

Humbucker:
Either Dimebucker, Warpig, Nailbomb or Miracle Man

Pup:
Dunno

peon · 06-19-2006, 08:12 AM

yea Koa is a nice wood

how about some dimarzios for pickups?

lateralus423 · 06-19-2006, 08:20 AM

Schecter does them like that i believe all on the top of the fretboard.

sunshineplaysbass · 06-19-2006, 05:18 PM

CCR90 · 06-19-2006, 05:43 PM

Peon, do you mean offset dots?

Like on this:

If so, that's fairly common.

Nipples · 06-19-2006, 06:22 PM

i love that bass

muthafunkabass · 06-19-2006, 06:44 PM

Yeah, me too, that's why I was saving up for one, but then I met this luthier, so now I want a 7-string bass done....anyway I don't want to hijack his thread.

Maybe look at EMG's for pickups???
