That's what what I thought when I saw it... "Pedulla" was the first word that came to mind: End of story I say. This kinda finish is gona look savage on that guitar. I rekon your questions been answered
-
That sucks. I couldent get the scratches out of my SRV, The finish went to hell when I tried ha ha ha . We need some pics here. & a spec on the guitar. What model, what year. The finishes can vary. Some of the modern models have poly base coats & nitro top coats. Some are al poly. THe repair will depend on what you have.

Prety much my ultimate recipe there. Black limba back & neck. Maple top & ebony board .
-
Good move. Ebony is the way to go here. Save the other board for some total full on wood porn guitar. Spalted this, burled that, flamed birdseye quilted the other.

Araldite 2 part epoxy. Now yer talkin. Iv seen that stuff used to seal up damaged engine blocks - & then run for 15000 miles. The poly is good if there are no gaps, but for these rods you need an adhesive with a little capacity to fill a void. I use a similar epoxy from Araldite, They call it "Liquid Steel" ha ha ha.

Definitly. I used compounds on a few JS stlyed wood porn-guitars I built for a local dealership. There was barley enough room to get a business card under the first 2 frets, Held the card there. At the 20th fret the action was about 2.5mm. Its all about the set up & the contidtion of your neck, board & frets.

thanks, I made that one from scratch. I know logos are a contentious issue, but the logo & ibanez tick are so much part of the look along with the grip & claw, that the headstock shape just doesn't look right to me without one. If I had some sort of thermal printer/cutter it might be different though. HA HA HA Even more cool so. keep up the work man, I had no idea that was a fake !!!!. but I wouldent go putting the Ibanez logo on many things. could get ugly. I cant see them letting the amount of reproduction Jem & RG bodies out there go for much longer. Be pullin a fender soon enough, u know, authorised replacement parts from a few pricey parts houses. But still. Realy cool work man.

Hmmmm. thats not a bad idea. Even if the chrome is very pronounced, it at least will look a bit different. Anybody know how these things stack up tone wise ? they have to have some life. dull, flat uninteresting voicing is an absolute NO for me.

seriously cool stuff. looks better than your ibanez !!. Iv been meaning to do one of these, but in titanium white, antique ivory & silver or chrome. Cant find a good silver anywhere always crappy lookin kinda grey. Have a nice Korina body all ready to go almost a year now, buggin the crap outa me. You goin with green pups on this ? like the original below it ?
