This is so silly what i am going to do here. Showing how mature i am hehe. Right now its looking like a caparsion orbit and shit i love those. carving it is going to require some nuts especially since i haven't had much practice.
Looking at those pictures makes me feel a bit overwhelmed.

You are making a ton of work for yourself with that one , enjoy the torture !

Damn. I would totally leave it as is and make it look like a lambo or something sleek and deadly

That would be pretty smashing even without the body art.
Some days I imagine myself cutting a monkey grip into one of my RGs. Wish I had the stones...

You get good wood.
RE: Too cool for carve. - Oinkus - 02-15-2015
I have a build I started with a guy that had a brain bleed and it never got finished. I also hacked a chunk out of the neck with the draw knife when I was shaping it , glued a chunk of wood there but never did anything with it. I should send it to one of you guys. Mahagony neck thru DC LPish with Sapele wings , heck I paid like $100 bucks for the slab of mahagony.

If i don't do it this time around it wont get done so this is it. All or nothing. And for the record every build i do i make a ton of work for myself. The map one was torture at its best.
If i fuck it i will just plug all the holes and paint it :toast: So either way something will come of it.
I am going to do this in a way that means i wont have just have one chance at it.
This is coming together too. Artie has promised me a diagram for this one. If he can pull that part off it will be the most versatile extended range 6 string on the planet. Yes you heard me.

Then why are you yelling at me? :toast:
That thing looks nice why dont you finish it for yourself?
RE: Too cool for carve. - Oinkus - 02-15-2015
If I was yelling you would here me all the way there , I am very loud !!! I have zero income and almost none of the pieces and parts to finish it.When I do things it takes a loong time and generally have to get whatever I can get my hands on to use for parts. I have the truss rod groove cut on it and the trus rod but the fretboard isn't quite right now that I have screwed up the neck. Not to mention that the fretboard is in a barely started status , zero fretworking skill. Never know maybe I will get out of my hole and appear in public this year ?
