  1. Thats the same question i have as above. I want to make a custom Jem style guitar...order the body and neck from a company who replicates them...i can only assume the company has a deal with Ibanez anyways...understanding the whole copyright/pattent ordeal if im gonna make one for personal use and not to sell i don't see the problem.....hows your head lol
  2. You might look at House Of Kolors "Kandie" green...i think its called "lime time green" and maybe use alittle "Pagan gold" as well with a metallic base green. Course you may already have the color your looking for by this time....anyways my 0.02 good luck!!!!
  3. Guitman32, i have a 4 gal. air compressor and i hav it on 60 psi. with a filter on it and a line fliter and i have a little 1/8 horsepower compressor w/fliter for my airbrush. Doc hit the nail on the head. Everyone is going to be different in their ways of airbrushing skills, im kinda still in the beginners phase where Jeremy (LGM) is light years ahead of me. I guess like stated before if your looking at airbrushing every once in a while then its really not necessary to go out and buy the high dollar equipment. Basicaly thats where im at right now until my skills improove and im in a place that can do bigger projects then i'll start looking at getting high dollar equiment. Just do some reserch on what you can buy thats not cheap but not gonna break the bank either Ex. i would love to have some of the high dollar Iwata airbrushes but i got a Iwata Revolution duel action airbrush for about $65 and i can get pencil thin to about a 3 to 4 inch spray area outta it. If you have a art store near you that sells airbrush supplies get to know the sales person their he/she usualy will give you good advice...iv also done that, In fact the sales guy directed me to the Iwata Revolution as a good starter airbrush. Again just grab all the info you can on airbrushing and don't get yourself in a money pit and eventualy get frustrated over it all....like i was told "main thing is to have fun and let your personal creativity flow" Again i wish you the best!!!!
  4. AHHH forgot to say where i purchased the kit im alittle slow today lol I got it at Eastwood
  5. Also you may look at places like "Autobodydepot.com, Eastwood.com, Bearair.com" that sell airbrush supplies. I just recieved my Devilbliss HVLP spray gun kit whick comes with a larg HVLP gun with 1.3mm fluid tip for top coats and extra, 1.8mm fluid tip for primers and heavier materials such as metallics. Also it comes with a mini spry gun with 0.8mm fluid tip for detailing, a 20oz and 5oz gravity cup, tool kit and accesories with its own case. Now i paid 100.00 for the kit ans i used it yesterday on a helmet and a RC helicopter and you notice a world of difference from the spray can method. Not sure what your budget is but like the rest have said it can get expencive properly setting up for airbrushing, It just depends on your preferance. Good luck
  6. Noooo way!!.................WE LANDED ON THE MOON!!!!!!!
  7. Can't say if i like or dislike BC RICH guitars..im an Ibanez man...why mess with perfection lol j/k
  8. I guess in my opinion on this would be i don't think all 12 could pull it off even with all having the same ability and 20 years of whtever they needed to learn the song. I like to think that "musicianship picks you, you dont pick it" so to speak. For instance My dad plays the drums...very well, now naturaly you'd think i would do the same...my hand foot coordination sucks big time you seriously would laugh at my attempt to play the drums now when i thought about playing guitar as soon as i picked it up it was like i was meant for it, It was natural for me to play the guitar. Take Steve Vai, if you ever watched "Satch Tapes" where Steve talks about taking lessons from Joe and how he knew nothing about the guitar..not even knowing how to put the strings on and then you see what he has transformed into today. Again I think thats another case in where that particular instrument was meant for that musician. I don't know that's just my twist on the subject, Some have callings in life to do certain things.....my .02
  9. First off im a huge fan of Dream Theater, some of the most masterfull musicians ever. I was listening to them back when they were called Majesty, i had a friend in high school back in '89 let me hear this bootleg tape he got back when he was in New York and i was blown away by what i herd and then of course James Labrie replaced Charlie Dominici and they became Dream Theater. I know some on here aren't too fond of Labrie's singing and i understand why but i still think he's a talented singer and his vocal range is awesome. Symphony X....wow thats another awesome band, Mike Romeo's guitar playing is very simular to Yngwie "neoclassical" but in ways shreds just as hard as Petrucci. Russell Allen's voice is pretty awesome as well, at times its alittle rough but it fits with the bands flavor. All in all i really think D.T. and Sy. X are tow of the greatest Progressive Bands out their you can't help but immers yourself in the diverse flow of the music these two bands put out. Also another band i think should be mentioned and has some awesome musicians plus a really good singer is Threshold, these guys are from the UK and im soooo blown away by their musician. Now they aren't real heavy as D.T. and Sy.X but the flow they have is...refreshing...i highly recomend listening to them.
  10. I saw on an episode of "pimp my ride" where they painted this girls car a burgandy red and then on the bottom they layed a peice of lace fabric and shot a gold flake clear over it which gave it that nice "ghost flame" effect...iv been trying to catch that episode again. Iv actually been wanting to do that to a guitar since i saw that i think it would be an awesome finish.
  11. You can get some House of kolor airbrush kits (assorted colors, tape, ect.) for a good price, check out Air Bear and Dixie Art websights. It may not be enough to do a guitar i think the kits have 4oz bottles of the kolor......check it out, it might be worth it.
  12. Master of the puppets is the best simply for the title song and Damage inc. ahhhh that song just thrashes
  13. Sorry Maiden, is wasn't bashing Latinos i was bashing Clear Channel Comm. They are doing this system wide...one dude in New York said they pulled his only country station they had...anywho sorry for the missunderstanding i hope this clears it up
  14. So what i herd on the evening news was that this poor excuse for a human being that shot Dimbag and the others were cause he was pissed and blamed Darrell for breaking up Pantera. If that statment is true then this guy was a total head case. This just sucks, Dimebag rocked the dude played the guitar aggressivly and his sound was so unique you knew who it was the momment the first chord or note was played. Truely another sad day for me, About three weeks ago Clear Channel Com. took Houstons only rock/metal station off the air without warning and replaced it with freaking latino music..... You Bastards!!!......and then this happends. I will truely miss Dimebags playing and tutorials in the guitar mag. R.I.P. Darrell "dimebag" Abott
  15. sweet and you didn't even have to bag him from a 100yds out sitting in a cold blind...thats what i call quick effective hunting....seriously though im glad your ok sometimes those deer can cause some serious injury or even death.
