Fit and finish isn't where I wanted it to be, but that's what happens with a rush job. Used Dupli-Color for the works. Please forgive the image quality...

sepultura999 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 looks good to me, but we need better pics! lol -Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyldbil Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Looks RIGHTEOUS! I am working on a project where the graphics will require similar masking to what you did. What material (tape? adhesive vinyl?) did you use to do the actual masking? May I aPM you a bunch of questions over the next few days? Keep up the GREAT work!

!!METAL MATT!! Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Cool it looks good what are you useing for pickup's, are they the same as Zakk's !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Sorry, we're going to have to penalize you for making a guitar that looks better than the original. -12 points. Seriously, though, that's a good looking finish job on there from the pix you've given us. I've been thinking about getting a LP Studio with the gold top and doing the exact same paint pattern, but I've been sort of hesitant because it's a limited production. You did a damn good job with yours, though. BLS Forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden69 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Looks preety darn decent for a rushed job. Only thing I would have done different is the choice of paint. I would have used ReRanch Gold top just to get the nice shimmer that the real gold top gets, kida like orange-greenish when the lights hits it in the right spots. And to see that you did it the hard way makes it better. I would have gotten one of those vynil sets and uesd the transfer tape instead of tracing my own lines. Great Job.

I honestly had no end to difficulty finding a Gold that was even close. I think eventually I may re-do the guitar when I have a few weeks to do it. Thanks for the tip on ReRanch. I'll check 'em out.
