Aluminum strat project

Even overcast skies provide much better lighting than you can hope for indoors without a lotta money/gear. It might look dreary to you, but the camera will love it and you won't get harsh shadows/highlights. Autofocus and auto exposure/shutter will all work better, so you get sharper pics with more detail. Even camera phones can return good results when shot outdoors.

Love that neck!!!!

 

[Cagey]

I do, too. Quite unique.

 

[DangerousR6]

Me too!!!! It's pretty freakin' awesome, it's quite a bit darker in person. It's hard to get good pics, plus I'm not very good at photography...  :dontknow:

 

[Tipperman]

That neck makes me think of the Dead. Dark Star jam, Doug?  :laughing7:

:blob7: ...............  :headbang:

Perfect !!
Love the line up to the top horn.

:dontknow:  Kind-of looks like you have ridden your bike across it  :laughing7:

Yesterday I was reading a magazine and found out about these - all called Excalibur. Not sure if you care or not...

I've seen those before, but not anything about them call out Excalibur to me.. The reason I used Excalibur for mine is because it's shinny like a knights armour. And when I think of armour, I think of King Arthur and Excalibur... :icon_biggrin:

Yip, one of my favorite movies, and there were some references to it on page 1 & 2.... :laughing7:

I just meant that, if Vigier are already making a model of guitar called an "Excalibur", then you putting it on your guitar is a bit like putting "Telecaster" on it (but less obvious).

I've seen about a half dozen of the Excalibur automobiles before, most in white.

Is that outside Cameron's house (from Ferris Bueller)? It really looks like Cameron's house (from Ferris Bueller).

True, but i still like the name Excalibur. Maybe I'll think of something else... :dontknow:

It is an excellent name. It's just inappropriate here. But, it's the X that makes it attractive. It's a little-used letter, so it implies a unique quality or some level of exclusivity. If it weren't so wildly over-used, I'd suggest "Extreme". You could use "Ex-wife", but who needs that association? Then there's "Excellent", but you don't want to sound like Bill & Ted's moronic adventure. Of course, there's always "Excruciating", but I don't think that applies. "Extra" is just a marketing weenie word, so that's unacceptable. Besides, it hardly qualifies as a noun no matter how you spin it.

I think you're going to have to name it Percival, or perhaps Herkimer. Maybe even Giuseppe. Pete? Ralph? Bitch? If it was me, I think I'd call it "The Aluminum Strat".

You forgot, Expensive...lol

 

[erogenousjones17]

Exiguous? Expeditious? Expunge? Exchequer? Or how about Ex officio, for the Latin lovers out there? Naw, those aren't very good names at all...

Cool guitar though. :icon_biggrin:

 

[Cagey]

I will love him, and pet him, and call him "George"!​

 

[stubhead]

"Excalibur" as the personal name of an individual guitar seems OK to me, but - the question arises, what use does the name have? You can get a cape and leap around yelling "Fear the Might of Excalibur!"... mmm. Need some Yngwie licks to go with it, read bit all the here it on "Gitar Blog":

It's a great site, under "Gymnastics Knuckles" I found the all important tip:

speed should not exceed the ability finger when the finger cramps rest your mother first.

Absolutely! arty07:
