Yet Another Vine Of Life :)

Hi all,

i know it's nothing new here but i just wanna show my work. :D

This guitar been through alot of modifications and upgrades. Mine did not come with edge pro and it's the old lousy ibanez bridge.. The pickup comes with some inf1 or something.. so that's terrible too.. Mine was a MIK ibanez and i have heard so much of them being so much better then indonesia and china made ibanez but hey.. the later pics will make you think otherwise.. But again, that could be a minor case and you can consider me being unlucky.

Modification/Changes/Damages

Rosewood fingerboard -> Ebony Fingerboard with Vine of life Inlay(made myself)

Ibanez TRS Bridge -> Gotoh Floyd Rose Model

Bridge Cavity -> Routed to enable up wham(yes the old version actually didn't allow that!)

Stock Pickup -> Dimarzio Evo set

Dings and chips -> all according to the real Evo guitar of Vai.

Enough of talking! Let's View the photos!

The initial state

Shall skip the changing of bridge n pickup n making of dings and go straight to our main fingerboard magic

First, you got to cut the inlays!

Then you got to route the fingerboard

Check if they fit nicely every now and then!

If you are complaining the "stem" of the vine isn't nicely done, yes i heck it with coloured epoxy! It's my guitar and i don't wish to waste time for the stem thus i just do the very improper method~ hahaahaa

Person to thanks!

-My girlfriend, for being patience with me while doing all these ****!

-Hozen and KC of Maestro! (my colleague at Maestro guitars! www.maestroguitars.com Their guidance and care for me is unbeatable! )

-All the website that i can source all the info allowing me to learn and attain the pictures ( including Projectguitar.com!)

-Singapore National Library! (Library is the best place to read!)

Rgds,
