mlj Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Hi guys, OK, I can't wait any longer. A few minor modifications have to be made and then it's finished al the way. Notice the clear cavityplates and the dull black hardware. I'm so proud of her. Enjoy, more photo's comming soon. Thanks for a the help you guys gave me! Quote
renablistic Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 niiiiice. I'm not a big fan of swirl finishes, and mutli-colored pups, too gaudy for me, but prejudiced aside, it is awesome. I especially like those clear cover plates, they're very unique, in a very good way!!! Also: how did you get the dull black hardware? A special powdercoat? Quote
Snork Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 that by far is the best swirl i've ever seen! i love those colors. absolutly incredible man! absolutlely in credible!!!!!!!! Quote
mlj Posted January 13, 2004 Author Report Posted January 13, 2004 Every part was covert in a layer of black zinc and after that a very thin layer os clear coat. Only problem is that it not by far as hard as gold plated or the normal black hardwear finish. Quote
Guest AlexVDL Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Hey Johan, finally I can see the finished product... and I love it!!!!! You did a perfect job on the swirl man, absolutely stunning. As great as the Glen's maybe even better Let us know how it sounds!! I'm glad my drawings worked out for ya!!! Quote
Guest AlexVDL Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 do you have a close up of the dull black trem? Quote
canuckguitarist Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Wow that looks awesome! I didn't even notice the clear cavity covers but now that I do they are SOOOO cool! Quote
renablistic Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Wow that looks awesome! I didn't even notice the clear cavity covers but now that I do they are SOOOO cool! EXACTLY thats just one of those "extra touches" Quote
Drak Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 That is absolutely SA-MOKIN!!! I love it man. Really. Wish I could do what you did there. You're choice of colors is f-in fantastic, I can't stop looking at it. I mean, I WANT that guitar! TREMENDOUS job. BTW, did you know it was going to come out like that, or every time you do a swirl, you have an idea, but never 'really' know what's going to come of it until you actually do it? Seems almost impossible to really know in advance what's going to go down beforehand. Man, you need to do a tut on that stuff, you da man! Quote
Guest AlexVDL Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Man I'm glad the pickguard is the right size!! Did the neck fit the body smoothly or did you have to reshape it a bit? Man oh man... you gotta love AutoCad + CNC btw the trem looks awesome! Quote
mlj Posted January 13, 2004 Author Report Posted January 13, 2004 The neck fitted just fine. I had to press it in just a little bit, just enough for the neck to stay in place without having to put the neckscrewes in. We sure love Autocad! Quote
westhemann Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 i try not to curse out here...but that is so cool i feel a tremendous need to Quote
mlj Posted January 13, 2004 Author Report Posted January 13, 2004 On to the next project. I thought maybe a double neck swirled UNIVERSE-JEM with piramides and a tree of life with bronze plated hardwear. And don't you try an steal my idea!!!! Quote
www Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 I think it has the best swirl I've seen. The color choice was beautiful! Absolutely loven it! Quote
bowser Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 man that is so sweet! i love swirls, and i think that one looks really good. i seriously believe that this guitar is one of my favorites i've seen here. Quote
wylde1919 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 If it isnt in there already i only got one thing to say GUITAR F THE MONTH!!!! Quote
Hotrock Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 I'm speachless (which doesn't amke for an interesting post). Wanna marry mty sister? Quote
Scott Rosenberger Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Keep it away from CerealK he loves Blue Quote
daveq Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 That's awesome! I am becoming a big fan of swirls. Did you build the guitar also or was it a re-finish job? Quote
Snork Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 i normally HATE swirls with a passion, but i agree with daveq i'm beggining to become a huge fan. thanks man that looks beautiful Quote
mlj Posted January 14, 2004 Author Report Posted January 14, 2004 I'm speachless (which doesn't amke for an interesting post). Wanna marry mty sister? Is your sister as beuatiful as "MY PRECIOUS"? No I don't think so. No woman or guitar can replace this one. Well maybe a JEM 10th could. Anyone? Quote
Guest AlexVDL Posted January 14, 2004 Report Posted January 14, 2004 No woman or guitar can replace this one. Well maybe a JEM 10th could. Anyone? HAHAHAHA that's why it's for sale here. Quote
