I myself love the zebra custom to. in saying that the bronze hardware doesn't do it for me GROGES SIGNATURE looks mint, nice and clean. All the rest of the entries are amazing to. And in the future i wont be so silly that i post 4 at once. that was a rookie mistake on my behalf. Also i feel my little bonefire custom has got of to a bad start, even know its a killer little guitar. The graphics on the back of the neck really add some mojo for me. Not to toot my own horn but yeah i guess the graphic are a bit dull. The bypass switch in addition to the 3 way split, series and parallel gives you 6 different sounds from one humbucker. I find it hard to take good photos of any guitar, factory or custom. Its a real hit or miss with me. And its not my camera because my wife and i have a new digital canon slr which cost me a bounty. There's just so many settings and i cant be ass'd reading the manula

Thanks for the kind words mate, its a nice guitar and i learned a lot building this one, Next projects here we come,

BGC Blind Guardian Custom Ok guys, this is the end result of a guitar I have been building. This is my fourth custom now. I did the finish the same way they do the Steve Vai Jem guitars. Using a Blind guardian shirt for the pattern, I glued it on, sealed it with sanding sealer, painted the sides black and glossed over. My old man is a retired auto sprayer so I get him to help me, just to ensure a quality finish. The original idea came from projectguitar.com I modified the 21 fret body by adding huge cutaway's, this way I could mount the 24 fret neck and still have heaps of reach to the upper frets, and yes its intonation is perfect. The neck has been mounted closer to the bridge in the process. Basswood body Strat style 21 fret I am 95% sure its basswood as its very light Maple/rosewood fretboard 24 fret Charvel/Jackson style neck Bone nut Schaller sure claw Custom made 2mm clear acrylic scratch plate, made by PR Hance Guitars, Gotoh vintage style 6 screw tremolo Bridge pickup - Seymour Duncan TB 10 full shred Neck pickup - Seymour Duncan shn hotrail neck Gotoh Jackplate Gotoh neck plate Gotoh strap pins Gotoh locking machine heads 2x Dimarzio push/pull pot Dimarzio 3 way switch Dimarzio jack 2 vol push/pull series/parallel 3 way switch Initially I was worried about the material finish dulling down the sound of the guitar but the guitar sounds awesome! Also some people raised concerns about the bone nut with the vintage tremolo, causing tuning issues, but all in all it holds tune very well. There is some graphite powder on the nut as well. The Gotoh locking tuners just fit the headstock width so the machine head poles sit very low, maybe that helped? I had concerns about EMI problems with the clear pickguard, I have shielded the walls with aluminium plate and copper foil, seems to have worked fine. I am very happy with the guitar, I am so surprised at how much it resonates for a solid body, I have other factory made guitar which are flat compared to this, pics here http://s930.photobucket.com/albums/ad150/k...ustom%20guitar/
