Aakoo Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 WOW! That guitar looks mean! It Somehow reminds me of the artwork of mr. HR. Giger. Not that I know much of arts but I like your piece of work! Really nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickguard Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Only problem I can see is that you're really going to need to pierce more body parts to match that guitar...maybe shave your skull and get a matching tattoo? Oh yeah, and ditch that smirk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer7440 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Very nice. Can you give us any details on how it will be painted? Also I wondered how you like that bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Wait... steel inlays? How in the world did you get those flush?! Man, I really love this thing. It really takes the whole BC Rich/ Moser thing up a few notches. Way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikbojerik Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Cool carve job & inlay. A good take on the pointy guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragasguitars Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I cut those inlays by hand. The dots are stainless steel that I cut on a lathe. The logo and GORE inlay were done by hand out of some steel plate with a jewelers saw, files, sandpaper, dremel, etc... They were carefully and painfully sanded flush with the fretboard, the logo inlay cavity was actually cut with an exacto blade, and gouged out since the points were so small and I didn't want to have a lot of filler plus the buckeye is so soft. As far as I am hearing it will have a Giger theme, which the guitar was designed for, you all get a cookie, with some Giger babies on the neck, and some accent work on the carving, possibly some chrome paint over the mahagony, not totally sure exactly what its going to be but as I find out mor info I will post it and pics. Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePlague Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 that thing's incredible. i think it'd look good with just a clear coat over that. paint is just gonna detract from the look it's got going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Not really my cup of tea, but it is pretty incredible. That buckeye is awesome, you should really just clear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
