    That could be coo to play around with, then it gets into Dean territory. As someone mentioned earlier in the postings, unique headstocks are hard to come by, most 6 in line look just like Jackson/Charvels or ESP. Tjis is by no means a bad thing, but I own my USA Jacksons and will buy more of them. The headstock is the hard part.

        Black/white would be cool, too. Are there actually going to be bevels on it or will it be a flat top? One of the things with the trans red ones, imho, is they need bevels.

            Thanks man. I wanted something that seemed familiar to me but wasn't a DIRECT copy of something else. Of course it was based off a few things as I mentioned in the initial post, but the shape feels (this is gonna sound teh gheyz) right to me. Even the flippin' headstock!

            Yeah, there are bevels. The trans red was a WOW photoshop filter I added for wood grain which is why the bevels don't show up on it. I was thinking of doing an archtop on it if possible. Someone on the board did it with a Rhoads, so...

                      Looks good, but it has to be more narrow in the middle, the lower arch need to go in more towards the pups. For a V guitar it's too wide in the middle. Also with that bodyshape it has to have a headstock that points either up or down

                      Cool idea i gotta say, good luck with it!

                          Fairly nice designs. The builder seems to have a BCR love as most of his designs are spins off them. I actually like his Warlock spin.
                          This one is nice too. I would vote for black with red bevels.
                          Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day, set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

                            Yeah, he told me he is a big BC Rich fan. According to his bio he worked for them for some time. He seemed to really dig this when I sent it to him.

                              **** Agree...imo.. the headstock should match the lower horn on
                              the body. Then it would be fantastic imo

                                I like the Black/Grey and also the plain Black one.

                                Good luck on your first custom.
