If memory serves me correctly the OLF's own Brock Poling has been crafting some excellent looking electrics. Jacques, take a look into the archives for a few images.

Andrew

David Myka of http://www.mykaguitars.com should hands down be at that!
He's one of the most talented builders I've seen in the electrics world.

Thanks. I am really not promoting the electrics. I pretty much only build them now for friends/family and a few folks I know. I am putting all my eggs in the acoustic basket.

Here are a few names of guys who I admire greatly..

Rolf Spuler
Ulrich Teuffel
Claudio Pagelli

Hey Bruce, nice to see a unique design...!

It's very different and certainly not traditional, but i think it has nice lines!

ohhh I see classic cars in those designs. 600 looks like the fin of a 57 Chevy, the ??jet-1 looks like either an Oldsmobile, or Buick and the jet-5 looks like a Pontiac.

Excellent job. I am not a good player so looking good has to work for me... idunno

.....and they look good! [clap]

Mike

ps how close am I on the guesses?

I guess that this is a «reaching for the star thing» Anyone? Or anyone can suggest names?

I've always admired John Catto's work. He used to play in a Canadian punk band, but I believe he lives in the U.K. now. http://www.mondocatto.pwp.blueyonder.co ... yplus.html

Obviously, the designs are very much influenced by Automotive designs of the late 50s early 60s. with a splash of 50s "Neon" and "Diner" in there for good measure. So while I would say that we never set out to emulate a particular model of auto, We did get several styleing cues from them. so what you say you see, is about as close as any one could come.
