Here are 2 albums, one is my first guitar and second one has my second build ideas.
I want to get your opinions and later, when I´ve watched most of the topics here, I may have more questions. My friend told, that this is very friendly and helpful forum, so I hope to get much feedback and tips to develope my projects to perfection.

Welcome, and great job on your first. That thing is crazy thin on the body. Do you have a sound clip of it? If so, post a link.

As for you secod build idea, I vote for number 4.

Well, the body idea came from my ibanez rg 370 firstly, but as you can see, mix it with ibanez S series bodystyle, tilt some body lines and use a bit design from caparison and you get this.

I like 1 and 4 myself, but 2 is intresting too, if tuned a bit. All these design ideas came to life in front of tv, just drawing some random lines.

There is one problem though, I have a bit of fret buzz from bass strings, fingerboard has a slight curve like it should have, but fret buzz starts from about 7-8th fret and stays while moving up the neck. What could be the problem?
