That one right there...

Seconded!

Shit, maybe I'll build it then.

Two more wacky-ass Ideas!
Might work better as short scales.

Man those are gorgeous. Reminds me of an enlarged Fender Mandocaster.

Make a 12 string version

[Lieutenant030]

I like the top one in particular. I'll see your 12 string and raise you a mandocello.

As impractical as it (might?) be, I've always loved 6-on-a-side headstocks with the tuners kinda parallel to the neck, similar to the Silvertone 1457 headstock. Those designs look great !

[CROSS_guitars]

Thanks!

Yeah, the second one is pretty much an after-thought. Too much like a Ricky, I suppose.

Flurko, yeah, I love the Silvertone 1457 headstock. The way the strings swing to the side like that makes it look harp-like.

Do you have the dimensions on that mandocaster style body? I've been looking to make one with a see through blond finish and a 1950s maple musicmaster neck.

I mean, yeah. I designed these to scale. I can email it to you if you like? either .png or .pdf.
I imagine it would be a pretty big guitar.

I PMed you thanks a lot

[CROSS_guitars]

Righto, back to actual guitars again.

Left handed Mav neck.

Youre in my brain! I just had the random idea the other day to try and mock-up a mandocaster-guitar hybrid but youve beat me to the punch! Yours looks excellent and pretty much exactly how id have done it. I was thinking short scale for my version, but idk if id go 22.5" or 24"..... hmmmmmmmm....

[CROSS_guitars]

I also think maybe it would look better with a 24" scale neck.
Might do another mockup soon.

Yep, defs works better shortscale.



If anyone wants any of these weirdo designs, I'm happy to share .png's .pdf's etc.

I'd love this one & the RD from above!
