this is the original version i did with that shape.... i think it worls a hell of a lot better with pointy horns, in fact i was just lying in the bath considering doing a new one with a walnut and flamed maple body

Kinda reminds me of the body shape I designed ages ago. I just traced around my les paul and strat then combined them sort of together, and made the horns a bit pointier :)

Fancy making me one? :P I've lost the original sketch though which was annoying as it was full size so basically a template, all I have is that photo.

thats a very nice design. Looks like it should exist all ready - more so than mine i would say.

hey, if you ever want it converting to real 3D woody goodness let me know

Fancy it doing in walnut and flamed maple!!

All sounds great Wez, and dibs to Nath!

Fine, fine guitars they look....

That design especially the scratch plate looks v familiar me thinks. Nice though! Great if you could re do it in you own colours etc.

Nice clips btw Wezv

thats the best thing about starting with a large plank of wood - ya can make it any damn colour/size/shape you want.

I must admit it reminded me of mira but the pointier horns help distinguish it quite nicely

I really like the points being orientated differently and the way you sized them differently, giving it more a teethy feel then a clawlike feel like most SG types have. Maybe if you perfect the curves of the body you can get a bit more 'horror' feel from this design, shaping it more like the profile od a scull or something in that general direction. Or maybe a nose kind of bump and cavity at the base of the top 'tooth' maybe?

Anyway its a very nice one Wez, should keep the design in your portfolio IMO.

Will do :D I was gonna have a go at making it myself ages ago but realised I dont have any of the tools required :lol:

Oh and I designed it before the Mira was released :P

edit - had a go at filling in the design with kisekae wood grain and pickups. Looks allright actually :) Think I'd want a stop tail though

Sorry for the really blurry cr@p clone stamping :lol:

i think the scratchplate suited it a lot, but maybe with sg style bevels over the top half.... i guess thats describing the mira again but there are many ways to differentiate these things

anyway - majorly of topic.. but it only takes the meerest mention of a guitar design to set my mind into overdrive :twisted:

Hm I didnt like such a huge pickguard on something which would be natural wood. Something like an SG Jr looks a bit better I think. Again, apologies for the fairly poor photoshopping but it gives an idea.
