You're a fair way towards getting this design sorted.
You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.

I can see I'm going to have to keep my iron you...
When I come to machining stuff like this, the first cut is always the deepest...

This looks like mecha anime in the best way possible
Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.

Re: Another Stupid Headless Sci-Fi Crazy Guitar Design
Cheers dude! That's exactly what I was going for, I think that style in some nice baked ash (looks like a cross between walnut and rosewood) should have the old-world charm of a rifle stock mixed with the imposing angles of a metal gear!funkyeah! wrote:This looks like mecha anime in the best way possible
Here's some progress on the surface modelling. I'd say I'm about 1/2 way there now. The back will be fully carved as well.
The pickups are the size I would have to make a lozenge shaped pickup cover to house a standard sized humbucker at an angle.

Re: Another Stupid Headless Sci-Fi Crazy Guitar Design
Really interesting design!
For the angled humbuckers, if you speak to a local (to you) pickup maker, they should be able to make the coils offset so the poles sit under the strings properly.
It might just require a simple mod to the backplate, moving the coil mounting screws for the slug coil.
Plus it may need a longer bar magnet, depending how offset the coils become to follow the angle.

So, eventually, will it fold out into a baby grand, in a Transformers stylee?
