FAVORITE NON-FMI GUITAR SHAPE

Cymastar

Personally, I like the Tonika, and I'm considering making a custom with this body shape...

And then there are Teiscos...

They're both pretty cool in my opinion...

So, post pictures of your favorite non-FMI designs...

The Iceman.

i like the reverse firebird, and the fretking ventura:

i m not a huge fan of freakycheesy designs, still some of the old burns stuff is fun:

JaguarOW

Ibanez Iceman

Ibanez Jet King

or Gibson Firebird

Non-Reverse Gibson Firebird.

funtoosh

ah, i meant the non-reverse as well. the reverse is way too unbalanced, i think.

apart from that, i like unusual hollow-body-shapes:

... and the current 'hollywood':

i think its the other way round tbh but its all opinion

I always had a bit of a soft spot for the Gibson SG and the Parker Fly

tragictravisty

i hate both the sg and fly, especially the fly.

Well to each, his own, of course.

But instead of saying what you DON'T like (I think there's a thread for that too), why not say what you DO like???

harrison

epi casino, i know its standard hollow body shape but i like it more than most others

Cymastar

Favorite semi-hollowbody... I also like the standard Domino Californian, and the Domino Baron...

i like the retro looks of almost all danelectros, and the mercury.

I've got quite a few I like, no one particular favorite though....

Tough call between the Explorer, SG, No-Ho Mercury, and the Mosrite....

- The Explorer is a big chunk of wood, I'm a big chunk of human, so it makes sense

- SG, it's like a Les Paul without the muddiness and the horde of snobs to be associated with

- No-Ho Mercury, kind of reminds me of the Mustang, has this sort of retro late-50's/early 60's vibe that I like

- I like anything Mosrite shape, and this includes the Univox Hi-Flyers, Danelectro Hodad (just the name alone is worthy of the title of Awesome), and the Eastwood and Wilson Bros. copies

Spitfire

Vox Phantom

Mustang-Pete
