Labyrinth Shredder The Elementary Penguin Labyrinth Shredder The Elementary Penguin KyrieEleison The Elementary Penguin I know I'm probably gonna get a lot of verbal for saying this, but I'd probably design one with a body that looked like something else - like a dragon, or angel wings, or something. I saw this GORGEOUS bass at The London Guitar Show who'se body was shaped like a golden eagle, tallons out-setreched. I dunno what parts it'd have - pick-ups etc - cause I don't know enough about the technical side of things. I'd just do the woodwork smile Like this? Yeh, that sort of idea. Have you seen the Dragongirl? I can't find a pic of it online, I've only seen it once in a Q-mag. There's something like a 14-year waiting list for them. EDIT: That's why I couldn't find a pic of it - I got the name wrong. esp Devil Girl http://www.guitarhangar.com/guitars/images/esp_devilgirla.jpgEDIT: What are esp's like as instruments? Following brief research into them, I have reached the conclusion that they are drop-dead gorgeous (if yer into that kind of thing) Take a look at these, if you're into this kind of stuff you'll love these guys: RB Guitar SculptureI cant help being into them - I know the most important things are how it plays and how it sounds, but a sexy guitar is a sexy guitar Definitely, it changes the guitar from just a tool (in some cases) into a piece of art itself. Can anyone tell me if EPS's are good instruments as well as being dead sexy? I dont know much about makes or gear or whatever, I just play the things.

KyrieEleison Katikal I'd have a red white and blue custom 12 string warlock with double humbuckings, with an eagle pickguard. 12 string like 12 string acoustic style or twelve regular strings? And do you know how wide that neck would be? (I've seen a few with like 14 strings, and a PRS with 11 strings) Acoustic style, it's kinda too fantasy though...

Can't say I have played tons of ESP's, but what little I have they seem pretty good. There are many great players out there who endorse ESP and I have heard that they are high quality instruments.

The only reason im selling mine soon is for the money for a Ibanez Universe

If I couldn't have a V, I would have this 8 string telecaster. ( with baritone neck and I would custom order 8 string EMG 81 and 85)  But, If i did get a V, this is the perfect example of the kind of V I would get. (with a baritone neck)

(with a baritone neck) The only way you can get 8 strings is w/ baritone scale necks. Depending on how you tune it, the lowest note is either gonna be a B or G. And a low G wont ring out clear unless you're either usin thickass strings or a 27"+ neck scale

They're the only band i know that plays 8 strings regularly. I Dont really like them, though. They only use the top 2 and bottom 2 strings ;p ;p . But that seems to the inspiration for most people.

Rusty Cooley got himself an 8 string guitar, go to http://www.rustycooley.com and watch the videos of him playing it. He's an awesome player.

I'd go with a Gibson Explorer. Copper metallic finish with silver knobs and hardware and etc. Don't know what else I would have, though.. I don't own an electric quite yet, so I'm not too familiar with different sounds and stuff. But it would definitely have a whammy bar. 3nodding

I'd probably design something like the Fender Tornado. It's actually a great guitar for beginers and the advanced. But maybe with a telecaster mix in their.
