This would have been a project, had I not finished it aaaages ago. So here's a shortscale that none of you will have seen before...

Tilt your heads to the left for the first two. Photobucket is a bitch.

But yah, designed by me, built by me (well, with a little help from pa

) sprayed by Jim Fogarty (a local airbrush artist who does guitars and stuff, check out www.jimfogarty.co.uk for some of his work). It's 24 inch scale, and nut width etc borrowed from my Mustang.

Let us know what you think!

Wut.
It's kind of growing on me.

What scale length?

24 inch. Copied from my Mustang.

A lot of people say that, that it grows on them. It grows on you when you're playing it too. It's really heavy (all maple) and has quite a chunky neck, but it's actually rather comfy to play.

Dude. It has a strat jack.

That can't grow on me. Ugliest Shortscale ever, but still kudos, looks like a good quality build.

It is beautiful in its hideousness. Nice job!

How does it sound? You should do a video demo and put it on Youtube!

Holy shit, this is awesome!

It scares me. I'm not as hateful as some people. But, it gives me nightmares.

I think that would look much cooler with stang style horns instead of that silly big one, it could quite easily be done to fit in with the strawberry thing.

why the straight thru routes on the stawberry stang:?

Cool. I really like it, but there's no way I could see myself playing somethin like that. Is that a stubby/short tele bridge?

Oh, and I doubt that nobody here knew about it. You may have built it yourself, but Jcyphe would still somehow have known what it was, and been able to tell an anecdote about the bass player in the band with the guitarist that used to play one.

24 FRETs on a 24" scale?

Ok, Thanks (

) for the compliments/comments.

robert(original) wrote:got any shots of the build proccess?

sadly, no. I have a couple of shots of the body and neck before they were painted, but they're not really that interesting.

The strawberry guitar, I cannot account for, it was built by some guy from south and sent up to be sprayed.

No, it's just a regular Tele bridge. And I doubt it about the anecdotes, unless he know's the bassest in my band!

And I'll get a video up when I can be assed to make one.

EDIT* Crap. The quotes didn't work. But you get the idea.

basically this guitar is a mutant but i wouldn't say it's ugly. i like it - nice design

serfx · Post by **serfx** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 5:27 pm

it brings the metalz

i like it, but the horns scare me.. its just so.. metal
its like.. an offset, with metal horns..
my mind has just been blown

astro · Post by **astro** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 9:00 pm

I don't find it particularly metalz looking.

I like the body shape, it's completely unique. I do think it would look better if the body were a bit less "busy". Maybe if it didn't have the strat jack or if the knobs were on the pickguard instead of on a metal control plate. But overall, its quite a cool design.

And the burst is really well done. I love those old tobacco bursts!
