I have enjoyed seeing your drawings. I like the one with the curved pickguard and straight pickup best. Are you planning on bringing this guitar to life?
I am sweating for months on this baritone project and I like this design a lot for it's the result of a long process... But I have for it a block of solid mahogany that seems to call for something more sensual - so I keep sweating...
Is it vain to have a personal guitar blog - one more guitar blog? Probably...
But when I started to pay more and more attention to my guitars - lifetime companions and much more than mere working tools -, I've been quite happy to gather information on the net, on blogs, forums, fan sites, etc... So maybe some people will benefit in a way or another from this one.
And maybe also one day someone will see and appreciate my design work and ask me to design guitars for his project or his company - feel free to contact me if you're interested!

A sunburst Stratocaster walks into a bar, orders a beer and takes a stool next to a hot-looking Les Paul Goldtop, who's sipping an umbrella drink. The Strat leers at the Les Paul for several minutes and then says, "Hey, that's some set of humbuckers you got on you, darlin'."
"You're not getting any feedback off of me with a pickup line like that," the Goldtop says indignantly.

ReplyDeleteAhh, Bertram, I think you're onto something here with these designs. I'd love to see these guitars made up.
