"AstroCaster" build

[beerbelly]

Haven't been here in a while, but I have a new build underway.
My idea is a modernized silhouette of an acoustic guitar, based on two intersecting guitar pick shapes. Here's what's going in/on it:
Allparts 2-piece Alder body
Allparts 1-piece maple neck with Tele heel & half paddle headstock for custom shape
(3) Stew Mac Parsons Street P90's with Fender 5-way switch
Wilkinson WVP6SB contemporary trem, black
Fender vintage locking tuners
Alpha pots & Orange Drop cap
Colors: black pickguard on a Lime Green Pearl lacquer body

Here's my original concept drawing along with the body pattern & rough-cut body:

I like it! Very neat shape!!

[Rgand]

This is a pretty cool project. I like the clean lines. That's good design work.

A few more progress photos:

[Amon 7.L]

Super cool project!

it reminds me of the Backlund 100


Please, tell me you're going for a lime glow-in-the-dark finish, that'll be super dope!!

[Scarabeus]

Very cool design.
You really nailed the headstock design as well. Very fitting.

I also like what you’ve done with the headstock. The rest looks great too.

More progress photos. Currently waiting a couple weeks for lacquer to dry.







And the body mocked up with a few parts on it:

Outstanding! What a beauty!

Coming together very nicely!

My last build may be closer. J.Backlund is a guitar design God in my world, and I know I've been influenced by his designs.

That Green is one of my favourite finishes, looking forward to seeing it completed.

I really enjoy guitars that have unusual shapes and complimentary but out-of-the-ordinary pickguards. Excellent!

[Rgand]

That neck really came out great!
