This 8 is going to be GOTM for sure when it's all done! Can't wait to see it finished!
The upper horn area looks uncomfortable as hell, besides that![]()
dude, lovely.
very much my kind of guitar. and black, too? excellent choice.
and by the way, i think the size is ideal, nowhere near too small.

I actually prefer the original design. A lower horn will not contribute to the sound (it may actually inhibit some people's upper fret access) and adding it would remove a bit of the instrument's off-the-wall uniqueness IMO.![]()
i completely agree.
with a lower horn added, it just looks like something BC rich might make.
without the lower horn, it looks sleek and original and really good, too.
though i'm still worried about the picking arm contour being too sharp and uncomfortable.
it is a horny dilemna indeed!!!!
well if i hold the template to my body as if i was playing it, my wrist comes across the middle of teh back cutaway so there wont be any thing (wood wise) that will be in teh way and uncomfortable
i don't mean the arm cut-out itself, but the contour you're putting on the top of the body there. with the angle instead of a smooth curve. my own arm/wrist tends to pivot right around there so that angle would be digging into me.
this business of the lack of lower horn is something i followed on my roter, the main inspiration being barrillon basses. beautiful.
