My first custom built guitar

[RacerX]

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

Yep, that would look kewl. Somebody PS that up!

[JerEvil]

I agree it looks a little wide and obese....cool idea though

Adjusted the curve to the horn a bit. Not sure if it is significant enough of a change though. What do you think?

Old


New

I like the Black/Grey and also the plain Black one.
I like the guitar I even like the head stock it looks good I have no problem with it.

Good luck on your first custom.

Thanks man, I really don't have a problem with it either.

[Robert Burns]

And with matching red binding around the headstock...exactly like that
lower horn!! Do it dammit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ROTF:

I made a 6 in line headstock. I kept the same curves coming off the top and bottom of the nut, it kinda reminds me of the old Carvin headstock.

[Bob From Accounting]

Looks much better now!

Is that the finish you are going with?

I am pretty set on this finish ... for now!!!

The new headstock is perfect. Looks great.

The body style is like a BC Rich version of a Dean ML (not bad at all). The old headstock wasn't terrible but the reverse carvin-esqe one is a lot cooler I think.

Congratulations on getting endorsed too, that is pretty kick ass dude.

[JerEvil]

Thanks guys

Just to see what it looks like, you should try making the upper part more curvey like the bottom instead of having that point there where the two sides meet.

The headstock looks great by the way, and I like the latest finish option. Congratulations.

I like the black and white with the new head stock. Looks alot better.

Thanks. Originally he was wanting to use his headstock on all the stuff he builds. That was the original deal. He is trying to build recognition which I understand. I sent him the comp with my headstock design and he seemed to really like it and agreed to do it. I am totally stoked. I will probably tweak the body a bit before final construction.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate all the feedback.

[JerEvil]

Ok, so I tweaked the headstock and body slightly, now I just need to decide on the finish, I have a couple of weeks but thought I would get some opinions.

#1 - White w/Black Bevels, White Headstock


#2 - White w/Black Bevels, Black Headstock (Like the USA Select Jacksons)


#3 - Black w/Silver Bevels



Your thoughts? I am most partial to #1

[Jason1212]

I would go with one. Nice looking design.
