new design... now with a one video

jmcustomguitars

hello!

This time I come to ask what you think of this new guitar design, influenced in my JM EL.

This guitar will be more dedicated to blues and jazz, and may be hollow body for example!

What do you think of the design ???

Interesting… I like Rickenbackers and Arias, so the first thing it reminded me of was the top half of one of these

with the bottom half of one of these

But I like it, I think.

It looks .... interesting. I think I'd need to see more of a mock up to have a confirmed opinion but I think I like it.

Moss

Love the shape - reminds me a lot of this

Top half says Astro Jet to me. A good thing. Though I wouldn't buy one

Thank you for your comments

this time I'm building 3 classical guitars but soon as I can I will start this ... I can not wait i dont decided yet the wood for the top, i have other piece of olivewood ... its one ideia

soon more news

Opinions? this will be a blues/jazz guitar i don´t want a very aggressive guitar ... solid body or hollow body? what you think?

Sporky

I like it, though I think the very top and very bottom of the rear bit could have a slightly softer curve. I think it'd work well solid or semi or hollow depending on size - smallest first, largest last.

It looks cool, has that sort of airline guitars vibe. You should stick a bigsby on it and do a semi hollow.

I'd go for hollowbody, as long as you DO NOT add the traditional "f" holes.

It's a modern design, it should have modern-shaped holes, not the trad style.

This exactly. Probably not a Rickenbacker 'slash' soundhole either, although that would be a better starting point.

EdGrip

I like it! The only thing I'd change - if it were me, since you're asking - is to round the point off the lower horn. 

I know it's probably not the plan, but I could imagine this with a "German carve" type edge and 50s colours - Fiesta Red, Surf Green, etc. Maybe binding. Airline guitars vibe.

Thank you for your ideas

Well I have been out from here for some time, to mush work in 3 classical guitars

i like all ideas, some to do and some that can bring other eheh 

I must stop a bit and focus my ideas and see what will be the first one... 

This is a custom, i like the shape but the future clients can change the design etc thats what  i think a custom must be, always adapted to the customer 

See ya
