:disturbed:

nice!...i'll need sunglasses to if i saw that in person. does it glow and everything under black light?

thanks for the pics...they look great.

you got skillz man!

how did you do the paint job? that is one sweet ass guitar congrats

thanks. it started out as a bare wood body. had to sand and sand to get it smooth. i then stained the wood. after it was all dry. i lightly sketched my design onto the wood. next came the fun part. using an airbrush i sprayed a mix of acrylic, paint extender and hardener (so that the water based paint stick better to the stained surface)

after it was all done. i sprayed about 4-6 coats of semi-gloss varnish (spray can). it's thin enough for the body to feel natural and not too thick like many clear coats on other guitars.

i'm starting to use automotive paints now. just started on snowboards but i hope to try it on guitar bodies. hopefully soon, i can find a good guitar body to paint and see how that works out.

Looks good.

But now we need to see it WITHOUT the "censor bar"...

We cannot truly judge your work unless we can see it completely.

And a nice close-up too, if possible.

haha......i was wondering if someone was going to say that..

i'll take close ups just for you... i'll post it up soon

that looks great!..what is your process for creating that? is there a particular comic book series you are referencing?

Harbinger?

disturbed: I don't have the skills or tools, either. Join me and many others here like me in tackling the task! What's the worst that can happen? If you're pressed for money, it can be quite expensive, but other than that, you've got nothing to lose!

tru tru....i guess i'll give it a try. i guess my main concern is the alignment of things. tackling a body from a blank piece, wouldn't be too bad. the neck would be a nightmare to create from scratch, right?

money isn't the issue, it's more of time. i usually look for parts on occasion to build my own "frankensteins" i'm currently looking for parts for an LP style guitar.

What if I call it the "War Munger" and make a similar design and call it the "Peace Keeper"?

that's cool...hehe

good job man..can't wait to see more pics.

i wish i had the skill and tools to build a guitar from scratch. guess building for parts aint bad either.

thanks guys

yeah, nothing is photoshop'd on the guitar...except that i took out the background and added the little "censor" bar on the back of the guitar. hehe

that clip is from the first G3 video...a must have for any satch, vai, or eric johnson fan.

the new G3 in Denver dvd with satch, vai, and malmsteen is pretty good to. could have been better overall, but still a good dvd.

I like it a lot. What kind of wood is that?

it's an alder body that i stained...don't remember the wood color though

Hi guys,

I just came upon this site and found it really interesting. i can't wait to dig up some cool tips and stuff. I built (or should i say put together) my guitar a couple years ago, but now i'm trying to rewiring it and set up the action right. still confused on some things, but i'm sure i'll find the answers here.

yes, i did the custom paint job on the body and hope to work on new guitar in the near future. hope you guys like it.

here's a few specs:

carvin bolt parts - neck & body

sperzel locking tuners

wilkenson trem

seymore duncan pickups

custom cut pickguard

1meg volume pot (will change to 500k soon)

5way switch (need to rewire)

this is a cool smiley >>
