so i have managed to find myself with some beautiful solid oak pieces perfect for a guitar body but what i want to know is would be possible to do a skull shaped git?
Thanks in advance for any help and yes i know im strange but it makes me interesting.

Jesus christ on a jetski thats amazing builds but i have trouble remembering which side of hammer to hit things with think i may go for slightly simpler.
there are tons of skull shaped guitars out there .
when making an odd shape guitar , ,, the only thing to keep in mind is comfort , playability .. and easy access to controls .. and even that is a suggestion , not a rule .. as there are no rules .

Yes this is my major concern i did wonder of doing an ace of spades one but did a quick mock up and i felt very unatural and would slip and slide.
Well i thought of doing it straight on i.e facing you, but was wondering if a side view may prove easier as i wanted to add texture such as eyes and teeth?
