Design-wise, what do you think?

3rd sketch, I'm really interested in the pickguard style...and not married to the headstock at all.

Vintage fretwire and 24" scale are both FTL.
Long scale, medium jumbo.

slant one or both of the pups.

The pickguard is awesome, the body shape is pretty cool, and the headstock has got to be changed! It just needs to be shaped a little more interestingly considering how cool the body and pickguard look.

Shadow is wrong. Vintage fretwire FTW.
Personally though, I think the upper horn should be refined a little.
Also I think the pickguard would look a little better if it were just the bottom horn, like a firebird. But then again, it wouldn't be as original.
What kind of switching is it going to have?
What you mean tremolo under pickguard?

that's cool aug, i like that body shape, it's like the jag-stang's lazy couch potato dad that inspired only the angstiest grunge. lipsticks are a cool choice, keep it looking classy and streamlined. keep working on it, i'm intrigued. i know you'll probably play with the headstock a bit, i do like the idea of a 3+3 on a vintagey fendery shortscale neck though. can't wait to see the prototype, with the speeds you're churning out shortscales we never know how soon it'll be.
side-mounted jack or haven't decided yet?

Your neck pocket is like an inch big.
That body is totally out of proportion, it's enormous. I don't like the top horn, or the bottom horn for that matter, they just don't go. The pickguard shape is potentially good, but the weird horns just don't suit it.

i like it...got that melody maker type head-stock...pick guard is great...top horn may need slight revisions....

That's cool so far. Like has been said - think that the top horn needs a bit of tweaking.
Not sure about the pickguard. I certainly don't dislike it - would probably grow on me.
Stick with vintage wire and 24" scale.

I like the arrow shape of the pickguard. It's almost there. Pull the bottom of the top horn in a wee bit further and it'll be all cool. Slanted lipsticks are what is needs though. Keep the 3 a side headstock and refine the shape a little to make it a bit more interesting. Don't make it angled though. That just ain't cricket.

the pg kinda has a vox-vibe to it, not sure why, the body is kind of like the lower horn of a stang and the upper horn of a firebird.
headstock-wise i think it's nice you wanna go for a three/three config instead of the six on one side type, ric 360 style headstocks are plain and classy.

Danelectro had the Coke bottle, Aug has the beer can.

I'm not a fan of the shape or pickguard to be honest.
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2007 12:38 pm
something like this perhaps?
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2007 12:42 pm
Definitely like that better. Good work.
You decided what you're doing with the headstock?

I'm still brewing on it. But, I certainly prefer the 3+3lamp wrote:Definitely like that better. Good work.

That is WAY better. Perhaps give the headstock a finish at the end to echo the horn contours - not violently so but just a hint perhaps?Aug wrote:something like this perhaps?
