Lotza_Noize Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 These pictures represent 4 years in the make. The neck and body were originally purchased off an online auction site (guess which one). The neck is off an Ibanez Prestige RG 2570 (don't know the year). And the body was a project that someone didn't finish, but it was made out of Swamp Ash (exactly what I wanted). I proceeded to shape the body to my liking and had a friend (Mike Nedd of Nedd guitars in Houston area) do the monkey grip and the later setup. When it was time to paint it. I sent it to the world famous Herc Fede to do a custom swirl on it. The neck has a brown mirrored shark tooth inlay in it. So that got me thinking. So I had Herc swirl in Dark brown to match the Rosewood fret board, and then swirl in metallic copper, metallic brass, and metallic bronze. All 4 shades of brown came out beautifully, just as I envisioned it. The bridge is an Ibanez Edge Pro. And the pups are DiMarzio Paf Joe (neck), DiMarzio Chopper (middle), and a DiMarzio Tone Zone (bridge). There are two switches installed one makes the humbuckers in or out of phase and the other is a kill switch to the amp(s). Oh and before people ask me about what's installed in the spring cavity. Yes, that is a Tremol-No and an ESP Trem Stop installed together. One does one job and the other does another. I plan on doing this same thing to all my trem equipped projects. All-in-all. I am very happy with how this guitar came out. It sounds so nice. And it feels great to hold it. Thanks to all who helped on this forum and all beyond. -Blake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPA or death Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Nice finish on that one Lotza. What are your impressions of the Trem Stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotza_Noize Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Nice finish on that one Lotza. What are your impressions of the Trem Stop? The trem stop is a little tough to push on. But I think that's just an adjusment thing. I usually dive bomb anyways. So I lock the Tremol-No to the "dive only" mode. That way I can have a hard tail feel with an option to dive. I love this setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPA or death Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I've got the Tremsetter in my guitar and I'm not real crazy about the feel. I might check one of those out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
