Does anyone know how I could foresee-ably transfer my drawings into the real deal? Would be awesome to have a one of a kind self designed guitar.

It would cost a lot for big company to make your design a reality You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

And that includes not only the looking but also the selection of the parts Of course you could try also any custom shop and see what they say about it.

I would call this one the Axe. Literally, I want it looking like an axe. Maybe with painted blood dripping around the edges. Can you guess that I like heavy metal?? Another good and gruesome one would look like a head on a sword or pike and the strings go up to the teeth and into the mouth. I will make a master drawing and scan it next week during reading break.

Feb 14 2008, 01:10 PM	GMC:er Posts: 2.361 Joined: 27-April 07 From: London,ont	yea Gwar takes the cake for having rediculous guitar designs .. i also drew up some custom drawings like this.. my idea was to build it myself but i have very little time. Find a bandsaw and a chunk of wood.. figure out how to calculate scale.. draw the new scale drawing on the wood.. then.. cut.. then youve gotta punch and drills holes for hardware.. buy the hardware.. sand it and shape the body. either try and build a neck(AHHHH) or try and find a neck to buy.. add it.. and congrats u have a custom.. i recommend reading MickeM's guitar building blog.

Thanks I gave up the idea on a design that's far out there. The risk is that a too "creative" design will look completely ridiciolus. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

They make top quality parts. At least you can buy a body blank from them and cut your own. They will route for your pickup combo, neck pocket and bridge selection.

One is RAN and one is Amfisound here in Finland. I bet there's dozens of custom shops, but these are what I know that are good and fairly priced. (comparing to something like ESP custom shop) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

They have loads of bodies and necks there in all styles, and I'm currently working on making a VIP with some of their parts . It might seem kind of expensive at first, but when you think about what you're getting (quality woods, unique features) it's totally worth it, and way cheaper than trying to buy a top of the line guitar, plus you get EXACTLY what you want. Warmoth also sells guitar body blanks if you're feeling skilled at the moment. I think that you could do the body at least yourself, if you laid out detailed diagrams and had the tools, but I would definitely buy a neck or get one made.
