Still, I think BaCH would have a hard time trying to equal your masterpiece.

But maybe Roman could chime in? He's a board member after all.

Ah, Mike it is... well Mike, there is no denying that the "original" is, and always shall be, the original, and a designers advice is always essential in any project undertaken...  ;)

Mike, I found your new project  ;)

We need a bass version of the Gibson Corvus.

Great idea Brett!

on a sidenote: I have tried to see the "crow in flight" in this guitar, but I just can't :rolleyes:

Personally I see a Crow squatting with constipation but then I've always had an over active imagination.  ;D

Look around and you can pick one up for about $300.

Turn it horizontal with the neck to the left, the controls on top are the crow's eyes. More effective looking with the single pickup model and a black body.

I wonder... do old crows ever get crows' feet around their eyes?  ;D

We had a baby crow for a while in '92 until he needed "aviary time" to get his wings up to strength... my wifes youngest nephew named him "Ugly Kid Crow", found him wandering around on the ground with no-one but a cat taking interest...  :o so he caught him and we got him to raise...

Yes, we have pictures, somewhere...  (:sad: but true)

I beg to differ. Put in the position you want (and your positions are always my fave, Dave!), I'd see the control part as the wings of a crow flying right to left, with the headstock being the crows beak (after a very long neck that is ....). Or the other way around, with the controls part being the crow's belly. In any case, it is that headstock which looks birdish.

Your explanation works just as well. Especially for six-eyed crows with knobs on their bellies or wings.

In an case, it's a shame this design didn't take the guitar-buying public by storm.  :P

I kinda like it.  :-[
