PaulNeeds Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Maybe a stoopid question but: What is it that you did to this instrument Jeremy? Lovely finish. My favourite colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt76 Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Wow! really incredible, my congratulations by that beautiful guitar... Spectacular!!!!! Single a question: You made pickguard? Since you did it? I am dealing with to make one for a guitar type Ibanez Jem 7bsb with wood of my Country, Chile, called "mañio" (like Alder) and "lingue" (like Mahogany), and it buys pickguard and it tries to paint it of color chromium, but it is not very good... Thanks! Congratulations from this far lands of Southamerica! BYE!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted June 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 well, I did the Jem modifications (monkey grip and lions claw and jack cavity) the grip and jack had already been hacked out but were done really badly so I had to fix that. I painted it, I inlayed the neck, and assembled it all. The pickguard came off of a JEM7DBK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted June 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 here's the only before pic I had, it's of how poorly the grip was done previously and the horrid paint that was on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovekraft Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Jeremy, that's superb! Is that a PPG blue met, or something more exotic? The vine inlay is exquisite! I just spent the day looking at guitars, and the only thing close to that was a PRS met red. I gotta learn how to do that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGM Guitars Posted June 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I really don't know what color it is, it was RM Diamont paint (same as PPG) and it was "The pretty blue color" that I found on the paint chip, the code is on the can, but I don't know what it's called LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Reminds me of my first RG 550 oh well it went on to a better life somewhere but I sure miss that guitar. Course it didn't have all the cool mod's and inlayed neck either other then plain ol black dot's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulNeeds Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Thanks Jeremy - I was wondering if you'd done the inlay too. Lovely job. Wish I could afford you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernie Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Congratulations Jeremy. She is a beauty!! I want to ask you about the inlay. I have just finished a practice run at making a complete vine inlay and have come up with a few problems. I used brass for the stalk and acrylic plastic for the leaves. Now, after finally sanding down the board to get the radius, some parts of the brass wire were popped out. It got to the point where the tip of the stalk was sanded down completely and so I had to replace part of the wire. I think that the metal was heated up too much during sanding that it popped up from the glue. My other problem was that it seems like the plastic was also heated up so much that some of it melted and was carried over to the surrounding wood. This really sucks because I think it turned out pretty good for a first time, and also because I was hoping to do one with real shell for the guitar I am building now. I ended up abandoning the fancy inlay and just going for shell dots for now. Guess I will have to find a solution to this and do it for my next project. ( I haven't finished my first one and am already thinking about the next. )/ Anyways, congrats on your good work and thanks for any info.
