Double Neck Dream

Rob,
well, you are getting better and better, or better said: PERFECT!
Is the different shine on the strings kind of a shadow thing?

Nope. It's a strange graphic error only visible when I render with perspective.

[rob_the_fiend]

Ok. .... is the bass strings on top or?
 
Will also need the string size for the octave strings.
 
I'm guessing that the bass strings are standard, .045 .065 .080 .105.
 
Oh!...forgot. The scale? 34?

Rob,
if you look down the bass wearing it they are starting with the thing strings, then the bass strings. As said e/E a/A d/D g/G.
This is the old style setup where you can play ideally with a pick.
8string sizes are:
1st-G 2nd-G   3rd-D 4th-D 5th-A 6th-A 7th-E 8th-E   
.040   .020   .055    .025   .070   .035   .090    .045
 
And of course both necks at 34

Rob,
Are you working in 3D? Can you view the guitars in a .sat file with a program such as Spatial Technologies ACIS Viewer? This is a really cool way to show off the entire model.

I only work in AutoCAD 2002. So the standard file type is .dwg.
 
There are many other programs ,newer ones,that probably be a lot better.
But I know how to do things in A-CAD, so that is what I work with.

So the standard file type is .dwg.  .Dragonwing???  Perfect!

LOL....... can't belive I missed that one.
 
Oliver. Any accent laminates? Pinstripes?
Body wood is mahogny, or rather my attempt at it.

Rob,
just as on my DW. Core Wood is actual Walnut.

Step three. Now with necks.
 

[senmen]

Rob,
wow. You?re great man!!!!
 
Thank you so much....

Step four. Quick peghead design check. There's a large risk that the strings will not clear all string poles. Redesign might be in order.
 

 
The lower peghead is just a mirrored upper. With more tuners.

Rob,
well you are the CAD master. Great work!!!
I already spoke to Mica rgdg this project so you see that this is really used. I need this beast... :-)
As with the 8er peghead this will not work I think. What about having the normal DW peghead made a big longer and have the tunners arrayed like on Johns Status Buzzard with 6 tuners on the left and two on the right? What do you think?
 
Oliver (Spyderman)

[rob_the_fiend]

Maybe 3 high and 5 low?
 
  o O o
O o O o O
 
o = Guitar tuner
O = Bass tuner

Rob,
I would rather suggest not to have the lower peghead mirrored.
What do you think of this arrangement, see pic below
