Menapia Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Wasn't sure of what type of finish to put on it so you might notice some different shades on the cheery . Edited November 18, 2010 by Menapia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestorationAD Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I liked the girl.... I will miss her. I am torn on the extra wood after the last fret. What is the spring contraption holding the tremolo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPA or death Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 It's a great concept and the paint job is impressive to be sure. The guitar is very Uli Jon Roth-worthy. I've always wanted to try one of those ZR bridges with the adjustable stability wheel or whatever it's called. And I like the input jack too. I have enough trouble getting mine straight when it's in the typical place . Nice build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the spring contraption holding the tremolo? Cheer for the comments guys . lol yeah the girl ( plenty more fish in the sea ) . The spring contraption is like IPA said adjustable stability wheel or whatever , It came out of an Ibanez I was working on for a friend so I put it to good use.

CainMD Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 That headstock is bad ass. really great build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juntunen Guitars Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Nice looking build, I really like the headstock. Let me know how the full shred sounds, I am putting those in my seven string one I get to finishing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menapia Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Nice looking build, I really like the headstock. Let me know how the full shred sounds, I am putting those in my seven string one I get to finishing it. Yeah its a good pickup alittle hoter than the Custom 5 I have in another guitar( that’s just something to compeer it too ) but still versatile when the coils are split it gives a nice warm tone and in parallel its hot but not aggressive all in all I think it’s a great pup but that’s just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davtheknave Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Very cool build, love the overall theme, and very horny body and headstock. What's the Saturn fretboard inlay made of?? Edited November 28, 2010 by davtheknave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menapia Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Very cool build, love the overall theme, and very horny body and headstock. What's the Saturn fretboard inlay made of?? The inlay is a picture stuck on a piece of clear acrylic and then glued in using epoxy simple but effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
