Skit Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Print a picture off, stick it to your ceiling above your bed. That way you can get better by staying in bed but also drool over the beautiful paintjob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!!METAL MATT!!

mailman Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 how about sharp Z inlays in a similar shape to the body? what'd really be cool is a bloodwood (or another red grained wood) for the fretboard and use black inlays i dont like the idea of the blooddrops unless they really have a evil splattery look to em. the ones im visualizing are like teardrops but i think im just imagining it wrong, lol keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAI6 Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 With a paint job like that (which is awesome, BTW), I think inlays of any sort would just be way, way, way too busy! The only thing I can picture are small dots, in a red color matching the body. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Matt, I agree with RAI6, (IMHO) I think that an elaborate inlay would just take away from what is already there. The randomly stagered blood dots would accent the whole astetic look and feel. Great work, I am especially excited with this project as I am a huge fan of guitar murals as they are true insite to self expression of the builder.

mailman Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I think that an elaborate inlay would just take away from what is already there. ← I disagree. I think the visual characteristics of this guitar are already over the top, and why stop there? It wont take away from it, just add to it. This thing screams "***, Thats a guitar?!" so the fretboard, like the body, paint, neck, headstock, etc. should all be wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByronBlack Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 The problem with that Is LACK OF TIME!! trust me the fretboard will work out deadly! !!METAL MATT!! ← Although i'm not really a fan of the guitar shape, I have to say after following this thread from day 1 i'm really impressed on the build, and I think its just great to see two guy's from this forum collaborating - I hope you'll be entering this for GOTM. I think it would be great to see some more collaborations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mailman Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 i dont like the fretboard at all.....to me it looks like one of those wooden rulers after you get pencil marks n **** all over it from a lot of use ADMIN EDIT- Consider this your first warning regarding swearing on the forum.

jmrentis Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I think the fretboard is fine, after inlays and putting on all the hardware it will look killer I'm sure. That fretboard has a great grain pattern, almost perfect. I can't wait to see this thing all setup, I bet it's going to be epic. Keep it up Matt, I just can't wait to see a before and after of the impalers, B.J. old impaler, and A.J. new impaler! The first one was cool enough, but now this one is just amazing. Good stuff man, hit us with an update of some pics when you can. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmrentis Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Weeew, that thing turned out sweet!! I really like the beveled edge on the fretboard too, makes it look great. And those inlays turned out cool, reminds me of one on a project here recently, I don't remember who or what maybe an ironbird or something, similar but very cool. I really like that style of inlay. Good stuff Matt! I bet you are stoked. Later, post better pics when you guys get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
