Northfield Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 So, some of the ideas that have been banging around in my head have started to take shape.....
Hbom Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Wow! There might be hope for you yet. Can't wait to see the finished product.
The Shark Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I now know where most of my guitar buying "dough" is going to be spent for the foreseeable future!
velorush Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 So, some of the ideas that have been banging around in my head have started to take shape..... The center guitar is particularly interesting as I see a double cut that 1. has an arched top and 2. has an offset to the cutaways (oh yeah, and ebony...)! Also extremely interested to see a full shot of the leftmost with that extended upper horn! Carved top aside, I'm recalling the very exciting discussion of a "Working Man Guitar" back a year or so ago... now who was it that started that thread? That discussion lasted six months and covered sixteen forum pages. Epic (like these photos)!
cmatthes Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 As an English Major, I am rarely at a loss for descriptive words. I can't think of any in my bag of tricks that adequately describe how cool I think these are!
gorch Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 As an English Major, I am rarely at a loss for descriptive words. I can't think of any in my bag of tricks that adequately describe how cool I think these are! No need to move into distortion yet. The pics don't show that much. There's more to come. What will you say then?
triodecr Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 So, some of the ideas that have been banging around in my head have started to take shape..... DIBS (assuming you sell the protos)!!!!!! I love me some flame maple!
sonic1974 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Man, even just seeing pics of those at the very early stages, you know they are gonna turn out fucking KILLER!!!Somebody lend me money? ha ha
BubbaVO Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Hmmm...this is getting to be like golf. Just when you need it, there's always that one shot that keeps you coming back for more.
Teh Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Aw man, just when I thought I had everything I needed... Time to start looking for stuff to sell...
DaveL Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 whatever this is, it's gonna be pretty damn cool.
veatch Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 The tops on your prototypes are better than some other manufacturer's "4A" tops... Surprised no one mentioned the solid maple body in the one pic. This is getting very cool indeed! Great work, Mike!
mc2 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Guitars....made out of wood ? PURE GENIUS!!!!! The little flamey lines are a cool touch. If you were in Asia, you could do those phtographically on balsa wood to save money. You're such a throwback. :)
mrjamiam Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 If I change my handle to PROTO, will that make one of these mine?

This is getting very cool indeed! Great work, Mike! All in the perspective - I didn't consider that was flame maple because the few times I've ran a router it ended up burning "flames" into the wood - looked a lot like that, so seeing the side going by the bit, I never checked up (or looked at the top). Flametabulous!
bubs_42 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 I just spent almost all day noodling with my guitars. My PRS's and my Phantom, then I pulled the Shishkov out tonight and I was completely blown away. I had so much fun today but everything just went to 11!
The Shark Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 All day I've been picturing the carve-top in the middle with two studs and a wrap around bridge. All day.
