OGD: OffsetMachine A6 inspired by BlackMachine

[CrystalSky]

In the Blackmachine B6 NAD thread I told that I borrowed horn shape for my one and only custom guitar in 2013.

I decided to show it off and hear your opinions on how it came out. I even made up a “catchy” name lol

So I generally dislike fatter and shorter horns on superstrats, like they are on Charvels, but I also don’t like Ibanez RG style lower horn with a sharper edge to it. And BMs horns were IT for me.

I also like a little slant to the shape of guitar body, like Suhr Moderns have. It was time to merge things a bit.

Here are some pictures for your judgement on how good of an idea it was:









UPD: Changed thread title not to repell anyone thinking it was another post on plagiarism in music lol

I can dig it.

How does it play? That's all that matters.

As far as I can judge it, it plays very well. What can go wrong with a Hipshot Hardtail and a sleek C/D shaped neck after all? haha

Would love a guitar with a Hipshot

I was choosing between Hipshot and Schaller Hannes. Decided to go with something made of steel, as I have no experience to fix something if I break it, and no reliable tech in my city that I can trust. So, as wise man once told:

That looks awesome!

Thanks!
