Ricky Anderson Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) now about the colour I wanted to use purple actually, but the lady (not mine) said "orange is cool!", so orange it is about that lady, I don't know how to say it, but since this is a luthier forum, I think I don't have to say it here the problem is, I never used orange before (I painted a lot of guitars). so, I had a hard time to decide what kind of orange I'm gonna do. but, like the ad says: just do it, so I did it. in my language: "HAJAR BLEH" the result is like this: surprisingly good reminds me of carrot Edited August 29, 2010 by Ricky Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Anderson Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I hope the carrot coloring doesn´t clash with the neck I was afraid about that thing as well. but, let's see... frontside w/ dark brown hstock: backside w/ weathered brown body: what do you guys think? I can't change it anymore anyway, it's final. if it looks bad after I put all of the hardware, I'm gonna blame the lady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Anderson Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) my orange lady has some flaws, cosmetically, but I leave it as it is, because I love her just the way she is one last thing: födelsedagen min söta lilla läkare I don't know if it's correct or not, it's been a while since my last time learning it, but for those of you who speak this language, wish me luck guys (even though I don't believe in luck at all).

IbanezDudeCK Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 To be totally honest, I hate the way the body looks, but it's kinda like paint splatter art, some see it as art, others see it as a horrible middle of the night, last minute decision. That red swirl body looks totally sweet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Anderson Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 you may hate the looks, but maybe you're gonna love the way it feels when you play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezDudeCK Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 you may hate the looks, but maybe you're gonna love the way it feels when you play it I've always kinda been one that doesn't buy a guitar unless it looks awesome. That's probably a bad thing and yours does look like it'd be easy to play with it sitting on the left leg like how I play, but I usually play standing and I really don't mind my RG's and Superstrats when sitting. Lots of people seem to be doing 'ergonomic' bodies but I still like the good ole super strats, explorers, and V's. I do have to admit that certain bodies drive me up the wall when it comes to comfort though. dang Ovations. I won one in a raffle and it's a pain to play cuz the dumb bulb shaped back sticks right into my gut. For me, the order of importance is the neck feel, a cool but balanced body, good hardware, good pickups, and then a comfortable body for sitting. Like I said, I play standing so (for me at least) an ergonomic body for sitting is not important. For some people it's probably the most important though. I like the orange though, unique in a cool way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElRay Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Ricky, No that you've had this for a while, how's the sound with the straight pick-ups, yet "slanted" scales? For a lot of folks, that's a "deal killer". I can see the bridge pick-up sounding a bit Tele-ish, but I don't have an idea of what the 24-22 Fret-ish sound of the Neck would be.
