Custom Guitar Body Shape!!!!

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

Hails Guys, Hails Drac!
as you recommended me.. hereŽs the thread for the custom axe body shape.

i canŽt draw the body shape of my axe project alone.
i have the design in my mind, but i canŽt draw it, and i guess iŽll not be able to express myself in english(again) ahahaha cr@p.
iŽl try to draw something... Or, make a little video where iŽll show the RE design Contour with my finger using the schecter body as example.
THAT wil work, ahaha I hope.

the body thickness i would like to have is 5 cm .
neck iŽll have to give you a refference, but i donŽt know any famous guitar model that iŽve played and know the FEEL of the neck back shape.
so... iŽll have to figure out how to say/measure my 2 necks. yeah, i have a charvel fuson deluxe that to me, has the almost perfect axe. And my fender reissue 1950 squier series  Made in japan... that i consider the perfect Neck back shape, BUT.. itŽs 21 frets.

iŽll try to do the video or the sketche along this week, in the meantime... if DRAC or any of you could help  me with a sketche, iŽll appreciate.

the fretboard inlays will be roman algarisms.. except for the 12th fret mark, that iŽll put a 666 carved in  :twisted:  ahAHAHhahahHAHAah

iŽm thinking in a mix of this axe Body- Schechter avenger
with the Warmoth Z Body shape.
Baritone Scale, 24 medium Frets, Tiltback DIMEBAG HORNS HEADSTOCK model.
1 volume knob Only, 2 humbuckers. natural finish.
Mahogany Body, mahogany neck-thru, brazilain rosewood fretboard.
Gotoh locking tuners and gotoh Floyd Rose.
chrome hardware.


Any recomendations ? fell free to doŽem
Hails

Before I draw any thing,
I'll ask you some questions that'll point me in the right direction...

I'm going do some composite sketches-These I'll scan, and post to your thread in low resolution for the forum,  and if you give me your personal email address, I'll send higher resolution scans that can be enlarged and printed to clear acetate, and enlarged to the size of your choice with an overhead projector.

I'm going keep it simple: body Shots from the top/front, and an "original" interpretation of your headstock concept-

 You might also post a few pix of this headstock you mentioned...

-Drafting full size plans, and sending 'em to Brazil is another project-I'd gladly do it, but know that it'll cost some jing-a-ling, right?

-I think both those designs are pretty fresh...what are you thinking?
Are you sure you  want to stray from  these "ready to go designs?

You seem to know what you want-Help me dial it in...

What do you like/dislike about each one?
what design elements  will you lift for your composite design?-
Describe the guitar  body of the 'new' axe in as much detail as you can...
bass & treble horns,middle cutaways,bottom bout,
type of bridge/tremolo,pickup configuration...controls,switches, and anything that determine the size of the body.

Get back to me on this stuff, and i'll give it a shot.
-cheers from Drac

I can do you a full scale plan on adobe illustrator if you want. As drac said i will need more details but i can easily to the shape, then e-mail it you in either Illustrator or j-peg form, depending on what program you wan to use.
