thewrathofraf Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 man that v a couple posts up is simply BEAUTIFUL. i think that would be a really good choice. on teh project i just finished i went with a flat black kinda deal where the wood isnt sanded smooth. it has a lot of rough patches that show throught the paint and kinda make it look like the wood was burned in the depths of hell. which is what i was going for. whatever u decide im sure it will turn out awesome!! -RAF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloyguitar Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 either way it's definatly going to be a lovely guitar, i just don't think that black would really do it justice, the broken mirror thing would definatly be one hell of a sight to see though! My vote is on the mirror, it'll be a beast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekul Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) Man that thing is killer! I love the paint scheme. I would probably go for black hardware though. I just have a thing for black. Overall I would have to say I want one. Keep us posted. Edited July 22, 2006 by Nekul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailman Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 black hardware would also look good, but as a Pittsburgh sports fan, im stickin with the black/gold/white scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mailman Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 That 3d model is fantastic! hes been doing mock up of ppls customshop ideas on the dean forum for a few weeks now, thats how i found him. i cant believe how quickly he was able to model the entire guitar and hardware and everything though. guys good at what he does.

redwhiteandthemaple Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 That 3d model is fantastic! holy crap... that's 3d? didn't even notice it was a graphic until you mentioned that... kinda reminds me of how I almost got fooled by that FinalFantasy movie(s)... for me, it doesn't connect. the body shape and the finish. I think the body calls for a little heavier distorted colors. I think you could get away with anything that could look a little evil, but white/black don't feel at home for that body. my (canadian) 2 cents.

mailman Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 any suggestions? the guys been fielding ideas and showing them to me for a few days now. nothing i've liked more than the stripes so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekul Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 If this guy is doing mock ups for you why dont you try getting him to do thinner stripes but follow the outside contours of the body? Ive never seen that done before. Maybe even try morphing the stripes so that as they get closer to the middle they become less defined, leaving you with a black blob or triangular shape just in front of the pickup. Even have the area around the pickup black and working towards the body contours on the edges. As for colours, that black and white theme is awesome. That black hardware brings the whole project to a new level. Told ya it would work. SWEET. Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dash Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 for me, it doesn't connect. the body shape and the finish. I think the body calls for a little heavier distorted colors. I think you could get away with anything that could look a little evil, but white/black don't feel at home for that body. my (canadian) 2 cents. +1. i think it would look cool with a muddy finish like this. i looks to "clean" for such an evil shape. cheers darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mailman Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 do thinner stripes but follow the outside contours of the body? Ive never seen that done before. Maybe even try morphing the stripes so that as they get closer to the middle i have no idea what you just said as for a "dirty" look, i was planning on making the white "messy" like dripping and grungy like that dean zakk one posted i just didnt want to bother wasting his time make me a complex design for the top. figued id leave that to the real painter. im thinking of going with black now...

!!METAL MATT!! Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 YES! DO BLACK!!! !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekul Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 What I meant was keep the black and white stripes but instead of going across the body just do thin stripes of black and white that are the same shape as the body. They get smaller as they get closer to the middle of the body. Kind of like Zakk Wylde's bullseye but in the shape of your guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get smaller as they get closer to the middle of the body. Kind of like Zakk Wylde's bullseye but in the shape of your guitar. -1. Personally, I think that'd look ugly. I'd assume you shop at Club Monaco! (known for its black/white theme) I could suggest you painting it something like the color of dried blood... You know that thick/dark raspberry color? And keep that thing dripping and you can keep your stripes too, and the other color can be either white or black, black would be nicer. Just a suggestion. Oh and when you drip, drip it a little sideways, so make it seems like its dripping a little away from the neck. It kinda gives off the "speed/shred" theme. My (Canadian) 2 cents. (~1.8 cents USD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I personally like the design exactly as it is, with either gold or black hardware. (I perhaps slightly prefer black though...) That said, I'd imagine theres lots of other finishes that could look equally cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekul Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Couldnt agree more, there are limitless possibilities and I suppose thats why we build our own. At least you can get what you like. I still like the stripes as they are and I still think black hardware is the way to go. THis guitar has seriously rekindled my fondness for V's though. I for one am very inspired.
