Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
Here's another design I'm working on.
Well, it's not my design, It's a KAY design but it looks cool and I want to build one.

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
This is really cool! Offset the lower bout a bit and the design is yours. It would still retain all it's beauty and balance.CROSS_guitars wrote: ↑Tue Sep 04, 2018 4:40 amHere's another design I'm working on.

Whether you make one with the offset or not, it'll be a fun project to follow.

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
It's got vibes of both Gibson Firebirds (non-reverse) and Gibson Marauders, while being it's own thing. I like this a lot.

This, with a pretty good dash of Teisco KL4/ET460 thrown in for good measure, whilst also remaining true to the original Kay. Now all it needs is a good headstock and I'd say that's a hit in the making.
