I'd almost agree with you about GOTM. The more traditionally shaped bodies with natural finishes tend to do better than a camo Warlock would. Personally, I think the multi-color paint jobs would be harder to do than just slapping some lacquer on it. Did you spray the paint yourself?

Yup i painted them myself. I got tired of taking my guitars to this guy who charges a LOT for painting a guitar, and on the last guitar he painted for me, he did on it what HE whanted not what i wanted, and i had paid him like 500$ so i said screw it and did it myself. He wanted for the camo graphic around 700$...

I used DuPont´s Chroma Clear paints, from the primer to the paints and the clear coat itself, it works really good, and can take a very high shine :D I love it :D

And yes, GOTM...i agree that most people don't like pointy guitars, but in the GOTM...it has to be a very classical looking instrument to win ( unless it's a bass)

Well Eddie, you know I love it. Then again, any Max era warlock is a winner in my book. maybe someday we will see a return to BCR for Max because his new sig is just UGLY!

Yeah I hope so!! You know this is a different one, right? I have a blue camo one and this is a gray camo :D

I don't like the newer models Max have been using like the AX and i didn't like the Viper either...even if his camo one was cool it couldn't top his warlocks.

The camo Warlock really needs to get on a stage, and get PLAYED TO DEATH! That is such a catchy guitar.

The Kelly, I don't like.

Cuz you stole my favorite idea for a kelly/Explorer shaped guitar! Big pointy guitars with silverbursts are so awesome, so I can't like it out of sheer jealousy. :D

My latest finished proyect:

I wanted a replica of In Flames´Björn Gelotte Les Paul Custom, minus the pickguard, i hate those things on Les Pauls.

So i had the luck that some kid had a really beaten Gallan Les Paul Copy...it had a plywood body and all...yuck...but the top was solid maple, i made a spanish cedar body for it, a neck neck , 3 piece of mahogany, spanish cedar and mahogany, new fretboard, ebony, 22 frets, new inlays, MOP blocks, the only things i used from the guitar were the top and it's multi ply binding and the headstock plate, cuz it had a multi ply binding as well, i had to make the split diamond ( and didn't come out that well...damn curved MOP) and of course, it's got my name on it, Torres, with the Gibson font:)

It is almost finished, it doesn't sound yet as i need a gold jack plate and a gold pickup selector...i have both piece but in chrome...
