rbjem Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) I just finished this PGM and am pretty satisfied with the results. Lets see what you guys think. The Specs: Body - Mahogany with 3/4" maple top Neck - Mahogany set neck with an ebony fretboard Pink Shark Tooth Inlays JEM profile 12" radius 25.5" scale medium fretwire Pickups - 2 Pink Dimarzio PAF Pros Paint - House of color Neon Blue House Of color Neon Rose Hardware - Gotoh TOM Mystery Tuners (soon to be replaced with locking tuners) Black Dimarzio Cliplock strap The blue in the pics is actually a lot lighter than in person. It's really close to the JemVSBL in my opinion, and the pink is really orangy red in the pics too. Not very close to the actual color at all. I got it signed at the Amazing Journey show in Palatine, with Paul Gilbert, Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan, and Gary Cherone doing all Who covers, the other night. I was the only person to get anything signed after the show, that I know of. I have my drunken older brother to thank for that. He caused a pretty big ruckus with security, they actually called the cops on him, but they did take my guitar back and get it signed. I was kind of bummed because I couldn't go meet him and see his reaction, but I'm happy none the less. Now that its signed I have to take it all apart and refinsh it all again. Well heres the pics guys... http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j193/rbjem/5dc33c18.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j193/rbjem/e61bcf7f.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j193/rbjem/DSCN2614.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j193/rbjem/DSCN2610.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j193/rbjem/3aa6e0c3.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j193/rbjem/Dscn2607.jpg Edited June 2, 2006 by rbjem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rokeros Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) Nice job, not a big fan of the colours, but they do seem to be applied quite well. You used House Of Kolor paints right? How did an automobile paint work on this guitar? And since car lacquers dry quickly, I wondered if you used the same stuff? Erm...is it polyurethane or acrylic lacquer... btw, I like the breedlove look-a-like headstock Edited June 2, 2006 by rokeros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 id like to use that guitar while doing a strictly metal show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjem Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I appreciate everyones comments, with this guitar, I just wanted to make a rediculous PGM and it turned out pretty... rediculous. This project had a few firsts for me to so I was really exited about how it turned out. It was my first, tune o matic bridge, set neck, and carv top. rokeros, I did use polyurethane paint as well as a two part polyurethane clear. The neon paint was really hard to spray in comparison to regular paint. It was really hard to keep even. Dash, I was thinking about the rings and kind of just decided not to because of the extra effort to get them tight to the body. But there's still a good chance I may add them on. Hughes, thats the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
