Modifying an EX to look like an LTD

[MusicStudent1]

For my next build, I’d like to take an EX guitar kit:



and sharpen the points to make it look more like these “Heavy Metal-type” guitars:




Not necessarily exactly like the LTD or Ironbird, but I want straight lines and sharp edges. Does anybody have an idea how to do this? I was thinking about sawing off body sides, then adding wood to make the pointed ends.

I haven’t even bought the kit yet but am planning on making a gloss black axe with one EMG ‘81 bridge pickup and a chrome Washburn Wonderbar tremolo. (I used one of those in the ‘80s. It’s a fantastic device that only needs a few screws to mount.)

I simply don’t know how to do this kind of woodworking.
