Nitefly SA Posted September 7, 2005 Report Posted September 7, 2005 http://home.att.net/~artarchives/yourfate/joker.jpeg that out line, done twice at the 12th fret with their faces pointing out and 12 in the middle < 12 > like that Quote
Nitefly SA Posted September 7, 2005 Report Posted September 7, 2005 or, a musical scale down the whole board and notes on 3,5,7,etc. Quote
Noddy13 Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Posted September 8, 2005 I'll think about that one with the < 12 > looks cool, but i was thinking of something more all the way up the fretboard like the vine of life but kind of ... nothing like that lol to flowery for me. Cheers Noddy Quote
Marzocchi705 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 What about a thorn vine going along the FB, thats more metal for ya! Ive always wanted a black rose with one thorn of the stem dripping blood. Quote
Noddy13 Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Posted September 8, 2005 Thats sounds pretty cool, il prob alter some of the vive of life templates see what it looks like. I thort of putting a rose with the stem pointing to the headstock but having it flamed maple on an ebony fretboard or maybe the other way round. hmmmm... Quote
Nitefly SA Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 if you could stretch out some flames to go the whole fretboard that mite be cool, the vine of death mwahaha Quote
skibum5545 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Here's a concept I've always wanted to mess with: Carve the text from the Ring from The Lord of the Rings through an ebony fretboard, and then fill the gap with clear epoxy, and then knock back the epoxy to a matte finish. Then, make a neck that has amber LEDs running underneath the inlay, causing the text to glow orange from inside the neck! Mwahahaha! You could even set up a circuit that causes the LEDs to change brightness with the output of the guitar, so it flickered as you played. Quote
Marzocchi705 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Thats one cool idea!! That defenatly has to be done! DO IT, DO IT NOW!! Quote
