Acoustic ERGs @ Rondo: Name Nominations?

[Konfyouzd]

Just an update – I have finally worked out the details, parts needed, etc so we can produce the acoustic –

Specification details we decided on based requested comments and poll:

8 string 27" scale acoustic guitar
* Ebony fingerboard- no dots (just along side of neck)
* Mahogany neck
* 27" scale
* Grover tuners
* Solid spruce top
* Labella 8 string acoustic string
* Mahogany back and side material
* Natural finish

Target Price $425 – to $450 – I am working hard to try to have it come in at $399 but it may be impossible.

BTW if quality comes out good and customers like it, we can probably add a rosewood back and sides for about $25 more.

I have also ordered a multi scale version, but it will cost considerably more, no hard numbers yet.

Do you want to setup a poll for the model name?

I am having them build some samples now, no firm eta yet when we will have ready for main production.

That said... We gotta come up with a/some names... We can just come up with a few good ones and then I'll make another thread later in the afternoon so we can vote on one...

Ideas?

What's the shape? Could he get away with a name like Concert 8? Or just Dreadnought 8.

 

[Konfyouzd]

I believe it will have a cutaway of some kind but I'm not sure if we're going with shape we agreed on in our shape thread or not. I would assume so, though.

Calliope.

Sounds rather nice if you ask me.

Nice. This is going to be really cool. Can't wait to see the final product.

Fulcrum would be complimentary to agile pendulum

I got a suggestion in the other thread for "Monolith"

 

[Pyrocario]

Fusus.

Means extended in Latin apparently if you can trust the internet.

 

[Konfyouzd]

Hmm... Renaissance 8?

How about Sovereign?

It's a fun word to say. On top of that, Sovereign was the name of one of the main reapers in Mass Effect, and the reapers make nifty low frequency noises. On top of that, Sovereign was also a dreadnought ship, so it fits into acoustic guitar territory pretty well.

Yup, Sovereign.

edit: For those unfamiliar with reaper sounds:

+1 to this

Since we are just naming cool words, what about catalyst? It's kind of like the instrument is a catalyst for good music to be made through. Pretty lame, but i'm not the most imaginative or that great with words.

So wait, they don't have a 7 string acoustic but are going to do an 8? Man, I really want a 7-string acoustic, but this 8 sounds awesome too and for the price it would be killer.

I like Catalyst

No input here yet, but I'm super stoked about this, and Konfyouzd, you are the MAN for getting this done!
