cheddatom Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I love the last two shapes, but they look very wide. I wonder if that's my screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly. Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 yeah thats prolly my only reservation on them, look a bit wide. Love the colouring/styling of the 3rd one down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 the last two are wide because the first ones a full sized archtop and the others a thinline archtop hollys back on with strings now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I assumed they were archtop but I don't understand why that makes them wider? It looks like you'd struggle to play it sitting down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell_A Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'll just pop in by saying they bottom too do seem a bit wide. But I do love your designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 the archtop is standard size, if not a bit smaller than an archtop jazz guitar. the thinline is, again, maybe a little smaller than an es-335 EDIT: in fact, i just measured it on cad, the thinline is almost TWO INCHES less than an es-335 across. in fact, its the same width as the smaller guitar on this pic, and .75" shorter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord MFC Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 the bottom two remind me of the Pixar cartoons i literally have no clue why. wait. thats more like it... kinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell_A Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Oh, I have no doubt that you're right, its just that the shape makes it seem very wide, most probably an optical illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ace then. I'd love to see some real photos as your CAD drawings are confusing my eyes! I love your designs though, always original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 oh wow is that a hollow or semi hollow? also, what's that thing past the last fret? not a truss rod cover is it? (seeing as there's already one on the headstock ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I assume the black block at the end of the neck is where the fretboard is curved into the body. the slash accross the body is a sound hole? It really is gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(seeing as there's already one on the headstock ) its like an es-335 - bent sides, carved top and back inside and out with two centre blocks (obviously two because of the sound hole cutting it in half. and that thing after the last fret is a shadow nanomag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xut Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The first thing that came to mind was 'its too metal-looking' as in the genre, not the material. Not sure if I personally dig that, makes me thing of a cheap Ibanez or some BC Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
