Hi, my wife and I have a small guitar shop and wer're sick of making copys. The clients always ask us for a Strat, tele or LP copy. So we decided to build an original! ........but we need a name. Any/all sugestions will be greatly apreaciated, thanx!

Woods:
Body; base walnut, top Parota (haven't found an english traduction for many woods).
Neck; caobilla, Jabin, Palo Escrito (variation of Rosewoosd), fretboard of Granadillo.

Bridge; Schaller Floyd.

Pups; Seymour sh6, sh1

Pots & jack switchcraft.

A cutaway for the jack avoids you damaging it.

25 string length, ala PRS.

The neck joins the body ala LP with a nice long tenon.

Inalmost didn't take photos of the process, but here we can see the seleccion of wood and a bit of making the neck. The long tenon for the set in neck, which was installed befor routing the humbucker space.

Well it's a badass looking guitar. I can't think of a name, but good options will be rolling in soon.

The "Angathi"; in Greek it means "The Thorn".

Perkele.

In Finnish it stands as "devil".

E: It may also have come from Lithunian and Latvian words Perkūnas and Perkons which mean practically the devil or thunder god. Sounds cheesy tho. :D

el Toro/el Torro/Cabeza del toro? bull or bull's head in Spanish. That's what it kinda looks like to me. Maybe 'the Bullhorn'? Or in that train of tought: 'the toreador'

I guess whoever name is gets a free guitar right :D.

+1 To this–the sharp points on the guitar resemble thorns.

EDIT: Starting with an "A" would be cool because its your first guitar design. Second one could start with a B and so forth...just an idea :)
