Xanthus Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Well now that you propose that "faded" fret board, Matt, I really want to see it done! I agree, not on this guitar, but in general, I think it would be a cool idea. In what way could a guitar be "themed" for fading? The first thing that jumps to mind is lots of bursting.

Well it was not my idea! a freiend said I might try it and I loved it so much that I had to sare it with you guys, now If I do this to a guitar I think it would look deadly on my damien design with A quilted maple fret board. I think it would kinda look like lava flowing down the neck A new mock up with the right headstock design !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 it looks super slick...but i still think(over a year later)that you should spend less time making mockups and more time building the real thing. get to it,matt..or by the time you finish it everyone will be tired of looking at it already...

I think that you need to concentrate on one guitar at a time, think all your options and build the darn thing... Out of all the guitars that you have started I have but only seen a handful being finish. You have some great ideas, but if you don't finish them, them is for nothig... Really I suggest you stick with this last mock up, it looks great, I like the PRSish headstock, and if you can't find a top that suits with the headstock, then remove it or paint it!
