Hi,

my plan is to create my own guitar.
i´m gonna buy a good neck, but rest should be selfcrafted.

Body will be in mahagoni,
neck probably mahagoni/rosewood

here my first try on the body-shape: (rate plz)


Neck is from a Ibanez ART 300 ... so head and inlays may change.

Pickups maybe EMG81, but i still don´t know.

1) I really dislike the body shape... I take it your a fan of weird shapes à la B.C Rich?
2) If you're going with that shape, the headstock needs a change, it REALLY does not match.
3) The only good thing I like about it are the inlays, especially the 12th fret one. Diamonds could use a change.

Other than that, meh. 5/10.

You should go with a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard imo. Alder or mahogany body.

I'd wish for a caparison, but they are so fucking expensive!..

I love my ESP nonetheless :)

dunno if this fits better.
probably its better in playability (cuz of wider cutaway and better shape for your shoulder)

hard to crate something good without making a copy of SG,LP or Srath ^^
