Members hournegative Posted July 8, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 Originally posted by Mazi Bee Hopefully it's not, as I'd love to have one. COmpared with a Jag, I can see some subtle differences. The lower horn on the Fernandes is more rounded than the Fender, and the upper horn look slighty pointier! Not to mention the headstock is totally different, and the Fernandes does not have the jag trem or switches...I have to say, you've got me scratching my head! Wheels are turning...

Members oYx Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 here's a little idea on improving the vertigo. always found that the upper 'horn' does not 'cross' the neck to meet the lower 'horn' seamlessly. hope you know what i mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ravelleman Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 Sorry, to slip away from the Revolver point for a moment, I just thought I'd mention a HC member called Cosmitron. He's absolutely Fernandes and Burny mad! This Cosmitron Burny Ravelle Signature is a post of his from a while back. If you ask me, he's a talented guy. The post gets quite juicy towards the middle. I haven't seen him online for a while though. I just sent him an email to get here quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very subtle but NICE tweak on the Vertigo shape. This will be shown to the president for sure. It makes the guitar flow a bit better I think! Thanks man!

Members cloudnine Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 Ray - Is this intended to be like a "shred"-esque guitar? How thick/thin is the neck? I find it slightly boring, but I mean, I'm looking for a shredder so I'm not sure if this would do the trick. How much will it retail (not list but like street price) for? Any ideas? Props to Fernandes for getting input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sparky6string Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 Here's another one. They're called the Decade and I don't think you guys make them anymore, but you really should start again because Jazzmasters and Jaguars are in demand right now. Plus that shape rocks!

As far as the "slightly boring" thing, this guitar is intended to be "Step One" in the re-defining of the Revolver. There are other models planned that will be quite a bit more dressed up as far as asthetics/eye candy goes. The neck shape? Definitely a bit on the thin/quick side of the fence. Some of my favorite neck shapes are from older Ibanez RG's and Music Man Guitars. I also really like the original Ibanez Universe 7 string necks (from 1990 through 1992) for my seven string neck shape. I would like you all to know that as far as my "style" of playing is concerned, it's usually fast metal type stuff, so I tend to go for a qick and comfortable neck. Hope this helps!Ray MitchellHow much will it retail (not list but like street price) for? Any ideas?Props to Fernandes for getting input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sparky6string Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 On the Revolvers... having a string-through- body option would be popular. Also, I like a two volume, two tone setup on my guitars. The coil tap is a good idea too. MY ideal would be very similar to what you have pictured there, with a quilt top, 4 knob, coil tap, Wizard II type neck, a Floyd and it would be MIJ. I would definitely buy that over the Ibanez S540 I'm currently looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hournegative Posted July 8, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 Originally posted by hournegative OOPS! Forgot to answer one of your questions! We're shooting for a street price of around $789.00 to $889.00. We have to make sure that it either beats or falls in line with certain LTD's, Schecter's, Ibanez's etc... Speak soon!

Members cloudnine Posted July 8, 2005 Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 Mmn, not bad. The ESP M-IIs and such are usually around $1200 or so, and that's very similar to it. I'd buy it if I had the coin for sure if I was interested in shred. But seriously, the 4/2 headstock thing is absolutely badass and gives it an identity of its own.

Members hournegative Posted July 8, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 Originally posted by oYx just an idea. click on attachment. longer upper horn, and a slightly warped dragonfly headstock. ignore the rosewood board though. Here's my take on the Revolver w/a Dragonfly 3X3 headstock...Whadaya think eh?Yea or Nea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hournegative Posted July 8, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2005 Ok gang!This is a picture of the upcoming Revolver Elite w/Barbed Wire inlay. This is a picture of the guitar being built in Japan as we speak. Because of privacy I had to "black out" the background image of the factory machinery. This guitar when finished will be a SUPER HIGH GLOSS BLACK. It will have an EMG 81 and a Sustainer and is NECK-THRU.C'mon now, tell me what you think!Yea or Nea?Ray Mitchell' alt='>'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
