My first custom built guitar

[JerEvil]

I thought about cutting the top front horn off the make it original but it would look off balance. I think the body looks good the way it is. If you want a 3 per side head stock how about some thing based off the Rick Nielsen Hamer guitar.

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.

I kinda dig it!

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...

Thanks for the congrats! I know not everyone goes for every type of guitar but I appreciate the feedback. Cheers!

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!

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

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.

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.

Headstock is ghey and doesn't match the body. Who is the builder?

**** 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.
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.
