The bridge and neck are temporary whilst i decide on specs for the neck and i'm also waiting for a kahler from jacksonRR whenever the pcbs arrive so it can all be shipped together.
Temporary pickups in atm. Entwistle HVX - ASN57 - HVX
The HVX are really nice pretty much like a cold sweat but less toppy and the midrange is a touch more aggressive. The aftermath set will end up in this over the next few days.
Strung with DR Neons which are a lot better than i expected. I've generally found coated strings to sound dull in the past but these sound just as good as the normal DRs.

SWEET! :o
-
Nice bro! With the green strings I would call this one ''the frog''.
-
Looks good! And the green strings are a nice (and amusing) touch! :lol:
-
looks great!
-
That sir is truly awesome! :D
-
GULP! I really can't see me wearing this (or my wife even letting it in the house!), but it does look kinda cool. :D
And the strings work well. Interesting what you say about them - my experience of covered strings has been the same, and when we were reading about these a while back I thought "they might look interesting, but what do they sound like?"
I can't help wondering, though, if you've "gone off" the metal for the moment, what are you planning on using this for? You'll get a few eyebrows raised if you show up at your local folk-club with this little beauty! :lol:

Well i doubt it'll be used for any folk :D So far it just fits very well tonally with anything 80s but i havent fully decided the purpose of this currently it's just my non ibanez guitar :D And well i guess it could be used for anything really as no matter what it's used for it will raise a lot of various reactions (probably disgust mainly :D)
-
awesome :lol:
-
thats come out spectacularly well!
-
I love the look of it. I'd never go there personally but thats because I am an old git and would look more stupid that I normally do.

Simply wicked...so much green...now a get a blacklight lamp!
Oh and how about some green LED fretmarkers?^^

I think that could be a little bit too much :D
A friend suggested getting UV light fretmarkers so the strings glow always.

Mine Mine Mine Mine!!!

You should put Green Snakeskin Tolex on your SLclOne to match :lol:
-
That looks great! I'm seeing a hockey stick headstock looking absolutely perfect on it. :)

Or build one with different tolex for each guitar....

ive toyed with that idea but im leaning more towards the kramer classic beak style one.

Ill have to wait and see.

I agree, lighted fretmarkers are an absolute necessity for this guitar. Oh and wear a purple suit when you play it. That and plenty of blacklights and you're golden.
You gotta commit, man, just go completely over the top with this one :lol:
-
Oh man, that is ugly.

The first two images in your post won't load for me. I think it's my computer trying to protect my eyes from the tele hideousness (assuming the body is a tele shape?).
If it is, I am very disappointed in you, Tony :(

I spent a couple of months looking at this before finally taking the plunge. It was kinda captivating in a weird way. It looks far better in person though.
I can't wait to get it finished properly.
