Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
I'm working on a bass headstock design.
I have also designed a guitar version of this.
I guess it's a toned down Starcaster shape, without the swoosh!

Reminds me of a firebird or thunderbird. I dig it.

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
Thanks guys!
Yeah, you're spot-on with the Ibanez Roadstar comparison.
I am a bit obsessed with them. I have been restoring a Roadstar II recently, I guess the design has worn off on me.
HNB, totally Thunder/Firebird. I could even rout a bevel each side of the headstock.

Thanks heaps!
I would almost have had them finished by now if I hadn't have snapped my bandsaw blade.

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
No matter what it is based on, i feel like this headstock is wonderful, cuz it is just a strong forward design.
Id prefer v2, but thats subjective.. Eventho v1 a minor smaller as "real pearloid inlay" should be killer, too!

I like the logo placement better on the right headstock personally.

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
I think the right one but with the C in Cross a bit bigger and filling in the swooshy tip would look really sweet.

That headstock, and red, is amazing!!! Wouldn't happen to be a headstock for a short-scale bass would it?

No, it's for a full scale, Jazz bass style neck.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 6:56 pmThat headstock, and red, is amazing!!! Wouldn't happen to be a headstock for a short-scale bass would it?
But I'd be keen to build a shortscale using this design too.

I'd love to see that headstock with your Jagstang Done Right as a short-scale bass would be amazingly cool.CROSS_guitars wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 7:53 pmNo, it's for a full scale, Jazz bass style neck.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 6:56 pmThat headstock, and red, is amazing!!!

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
2nd body has been cut out and routed!
I have annoyed my housemates and neighbour's enough for today,
So, I'll do the roundovers and contours tomorrow.
