Here's a couple of body shapes I'd like to see

[stubhead]

Granted, most people seem to want to stay within the Strat/Les Paul parameters, but they do sell the occasional Mustang, Jazzmaster etc. - once the templates done, what's the big diffie? :blob7:

I've always thought the Gibson Ripper would make an exceptionally nice guitar body, maybe 1.5" thick? Like an asymmetrical 335...

The Morse is close but the butt's not round enough:

The Roland synth guitar and the Ibanez Musician are also cool:

Warmoth's VIP is the closest they come to that, but it's too horny. :help:

I like the 4+2 EB headstock.

 

[Wyliee]

I like the 4+2 EB headstock.

Sorry, trademarked/patented by EB and they protect it very agressively.  The same goes for the 3+1 bass headstock I believe.

I've always dug the early Roland guitar synths.  I'd still like to have one.

 

[NonsenseTele]

Warmoth cannot do any 4+2 headstock or just the design of EB/MM

Because there is some 4+2 without from EB/MM and I don't think they could say that is trademark this....

 

[guitlouie]

but it's too horny

Hee-Hee.

The EB MusicMan body used on the Lukather, Morse, and Petrucci models looks very similar to the Gecko Guitar prototype.

Remember the Gibson RD bass and axe ?

they aggressively go after people who infringe on their "3+1" marketing ... meaning if you use the terminology of "3+1" in your marketing they will come after you. it is not legally defendable to keep others from using a tuner configuration of 3 on one side and 1 on the ofther if it's not being sold as a "3+1" configuration. So I've been told by legal counsel

all the best,

Ahhh I was literally a day too late to buy an awesome RD Artist from a used guitar shop.
I would love to see this body style done by W.
The Ripper would be sweet as well.

You mean like one of these - SG1000?

Good solid guitars, sustain very well. The SG1000 was set neck, but the SG2000 was neck through body.

[Notyethendrix]

ES-335

 

[Kublai]

Yea, 335 would put me in the poor-er house.

 

[Mor Paul]

A ton of people want 335s, I think. It wouldn't be quite the same, though. No bend sides, too much labor or something.
