What do all you DIY guitar guru's think of this project ?

I like the shape for some reason

Does anyone have any thoughts on this "radical" shape ?

Any body colour/finnish that you think will compliment the shape ?

Any thought very welcome . . .

Cheers

Ermmm, not really . . . but "kinda" close i s'pose !

I want a guitar for a Stoner/Sludge project that i am involved with !

(think Orange Goblin/Fu Munchu mixed with some Melvins)

. . . black with dark grey pick gard, or just a completely dark gun metal grey ?

oh man, cool! I love The Melvins!

so you want a sludge machine!

gun metal grey would rule!

or charcoal frost?

Ya, i know - i thought more folks would say that, but i also have two Epi LP's to use.

I just want a dedicated guitar for this new band

And seeing that you build it drom the ground up, it is alsmost like a painting. YOU can add what ever you want.

It a B.C. Rich Mockingbird clone turned upside down... Look at this and stand on your head. http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM07 ... .html  the short bout is from the seagull, the long from the mockingbird.

If you like it go with it! I kind of like it the BC Rich way. Not all hendrixed out though. Your dime your choice!

I think it could look nice with some kind of pickguard on it and maybe with a different headstock
