gw_guitars Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 I think I'm in love!! I'm so glad you don't have a shop in Holland because there would be a long haired weerdo sticking with his tongue on the window, drooling. Beautifull!!

DaveK Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 LGM: Nice!!! Did you put a Quilt Veneer on that? It looks AWESOME!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Very nice done... beauty! But I prefer no sunburst on those nicely figured tops. It hides a lot of the fine grain pattern. I had a Carvin with AAAA quilt maple top tele, but the tobacco burst on it was 5cm wide. Almost 40 to 50% of the body was sunburst. Why do a figured top then IMO it would have looked better if you had seen the quilt on the upper and lower horns too. But then again this is only achievable if your going to use a binding or natural binding... or a very narrow sunburst, but then the burst wouldn't be so smooth like this one. Overall very very nice guitar!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neven Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 that is one really sweet guitar. i wish that one day i'll be able to find a nice veneer over here. it is almost imposible to find a nice piece of wood or a good quality paint in shops here. one day i'll order some nice veneer from the states, and that will be a fiiiineee day anyway, i like your burst too... i made one myself, and i had a pretty hard time getting it even on all sides. and it won't cover much quilt at all, since it is a rear routed body. keep up the GREAT work, and keep us informed with all the nice stuff coming out of your shop...

atifman Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 how'd you make the ibanez logo all sparkly? did you put a new logo on it, or did you paint over it except for the logo and painted it sparkly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Jeremy: Is it a quilt veneer??? (inquiring minds want to know!!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Jeremy: 1) if i't is a veneer, do you just glue it to the body or do you sand the body first so the edges are perfectly square, and you radius the sides afterwards ? 2) If it's a drop top, do you put it directly onto the body or do you sand off the thickness from the new top?? I'm looking at the pics again... I'm still impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at the pics again... I'm still impressed Alex, its just a veneer top on this one. The edges should be square or very close to square, if they aren't, it's not the end of the world though, glue your veneer on, and just sand the round corner until it's smooth. If you are doing a black edge like this has, it's no big deal. here are some new pics, it's almost done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted June 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 how'd you make the ibanez logo all sparkly? did you put a new logo on it, or did you paint over it except for the logo and painted it sparkly? It just happened to look that way in the picture, it's just a chrome Ibanez logo, no sparkles in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Holy **** that is one beautiful Ibanez 7 string!!! Is that the original fingerboard or did you replace it? How much would a guitar like that cost? Or at least the whole modification? This guitar rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted June 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 That neck was from the LA custom shop, built for Dino Cazares (hence the FF fear factory inlay) I have to repair one bit of binding that was broken off. I did the veneer and all the paint. I'd tell you how much it cost, but it wouldn't be really appropriate on the forum I don't think, if ya wanna PM me I can tell ya though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Looks like you're missing a piece of binding at the 24th fret at the high E string side??? :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 I have to repair one bit of binding that was broken off. Oops, you answered my question already And sorry I asked you for the price... it isn't appropriate like you said, I must obey the forum rules too Don't want to get you or myself a warning logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
