I like it. It's got a PRSish vibe to it. Needs a Floyd though..he he he he

two hums with a single coil in the neck pos. is awesome!
that neck looks great!
awesome body design as well

Thank ya thank ya.... but the neck pos. is actually a hot rails humbucker...it's hard to tell in that pic I know.

I think it'd look more stylish if you made it have a slanted quot;rearquot; like the one ESP horizon style guitar. The headstock reminds me of a dragon, lol. And the Fedex body is cool but probably really uncomfortable, haha.

Check the top/first pic....in the top left hand corner...what do you see? A floyd rose bridge!! But its not for me....

I think everything should be Floyded, hell I'd floyd my **** if I could handle the piercings for the springs!

OK, how about this? Not good pics had to use cell phone (sorry) but I think you can get the ideal of the change. Do not want it to look like any other guitars know to man kind.

I find a certain disbalance with the first design. The horns are too long and I think they don't start deep enough in the body, if you see what I mean. I think the 2nd one is better.

It looks like the neck is a hit Brian....

I LOVE the Ken Lawrence headstock, and I will use it on soimething for myself on eday...Im not 100% sure how I feel about the body shape. As for the pickups...I LOVE the H/H/S/ set up! I know it's a hot rail, but still...I have kicked around the idea of an H/H/S a few times.

What kind of wood etc are you gonna use?

Well, there´s not really much to say there.. it´s a Ken Lawrence headstock

I like the BC Richy design more. That looks really good.

AWESOME!!!
is that guy by anychange on the ESP forum???

No but he is briand on this forum....and thanks, but do you like the first or second one, or both?

The body is going to be mahogany (most likely african for those who care), with a translucent finish...lookin like a cherry color at the moment with some black highlights under it. I am thinkin blues trembucker/screamin demon/hot rails for pu config.

that sounds like an awesome pick-up configuration!

I do like the 2nd design more, very original, yet practical, and just plain awesome!

Rock On

The horns should be a little more straty, as for the H/H/S, thats not all that new, ESP made a guitar like that, its worth a fortune if you can ever find one tho.

Slant the neck singlecoil tho, seriously, it'll help alot.

Use 2xBill Lawence L500XL's and put a strat® Hot stack in the neck. (Might as well be able to have some cleans eh? All thoes rails would look insane)

And it has to be black. :P

I think the 2nd one is better.Ok, The first guitar has the normal cut pattern at the body except the top horn is a bet shallower then the norm for cosmetic reasons. What is throwing you off is the distance between the tip of the horn to the edge of the neck it is almost twice the distance as norm. This is making the curve line from the tip of one horn down to the neck pocket and then up to the tip of the other horn look shallow.

I think with a 45* edge cut around the body would make it look very edge like some type of weapon.

I like both designs.
I like the second one better. The pointer, the better!
Still needs a Floyd
1 on the Lawrence pickups 500XL bridge 500L middle L220 in the neck! ROCK ON!

I use it for a mock up neck. I have thought about trimming it around the arrow looking thing so it looks like a spear.

Steph has now taken a hold of it so I guess I will have to get another mock up neck.
