Post by: TwilightOdyssey on March 23, 2006, 09:23:26 PM: I do, and it's AMAZING!!

Not the best pic, but here's a basic idea. I'm supposed to snap pics for Davey tonight, in fact, so I will try to get a better angle if possible ...

The look is hard to describe ... the chrome is very reflective, and it has this psychodelic pattern over the top of it ... very freaky in a cool way!

http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2791&highlight=burnt

I changed the neck bucker for a chrome one (picked up half price in a sale). I can do some picks of that if you'd like.

Post by: sambo on March 23, 2006, 10:30:22 PM: oooooooooh!!! thats a beauty.... has it got a d-tuna as well?

what make is the guitar? custom built i expect?
Title: Burnt chrome covers
Post by: sambo on March 23, 2006, 10:33:39 PM: jonesy- thats a washburn x something right? whats that axe like im thinking of getting one in the future...

as far as burnt chrome goes in it.... hmmmm.... not sure... its tough to say... what is the actual colour/finish on it its hard to tell in that light...

im not a fan of non-matching pups- thats why i dont like zebras.... so with a standard chrome MQ in the neck i would say no to a burnt chrome cover in the bridge... but thats just personal preference...

You're right on both counts .... OFR bridge with a D-Tuna. (Phil did the set up on this guitar ... he's slowly getting the hang of the Floyd. ;) I predict Phil will have a Floyd within 6 months!!!) It is a custom guitar. The body is a Wayne Rock Legend. (Made by Wayne Charvel) The neck is a Gajic Custom. (Made by Laz Gajic)

I played that guitar @ rehearsal last night, and it sounded G O D L Y !!!
Title: Burnt chrome covers
Post by: sambo on March 23, 2006, 10:49:55 PM: ooooooooo i bet it did... it has looks to match.....

wait.... phil with a floyd... philking?.... never.... lol :lol:

i was never a fan of floyds until trying my mates washburn.... now im hunting for a supstrat kinda thing.... even if i wouldnt use the trem that much they just look cool lol.
Title: Burnt chrome covers
Post by: Jonesy on March 23, 2006, 11:26:59 PM: Its a Maverick F series guitar...theyve got a new style comming out some time mid march...somehting simular to a lles paul I think. They call the finnsih transparent black....mines realy more of a transparent brown/ charcole/ black. Im wondering if they sent me a limited edition one by mistake because all the pictures ive seen look pretty different....thats not a bad thing tho 8)

Sorry...i just got carried away with my picture :P

Post by: mia on March 23, 2006, 11:30:44 PM: What does the D-tuna do?

And Jonesy, I think that a burnt chrome in the bridge could lok cool, maybe kind of making it look more powerful. WHat about a chrome cover on the single coil 2 (if they an do that?)

What does the D-tuna do?

Basically, it allows you to go to drop D (and back) tuning with the flick of a switch.
Title: Burnt chrome covers
Post by: PhilKing on March 24, 2006, 02:12:14 AM: If I do get a Floyd (still a long shot), it will not have a D-tuna, and it will probably be a Schaller string through with sperzels! I did buy an Ibanez body (it will have a Nailbomb calibrated set with an Irish Tour middle, and the switching will either be Bridge HB/screw coil + IT/2 HB/neck Screw + IT/Neck HB with also Bridge SC/Bridge SC + IT/IT/Neck SC + IT/Neck SC, or PRS switching with the IT on a separate switch to be added either with the other selection or by itself. I haven't decided yet).

Mind you, Ben might get a Les Paul with P-90's before I get the Floyd :shock:

Post by: mia on March 26, 2006, 01:20:31 PM: Its hard to tell, are they more blue or red/brown?
Title: Burnt chrome covers
Post by: sambo on March 26, 2006, 01:41:29 PM: but the d-tuna seems like a bit of a gimic to me... i mean.... ibanez gax somethings have them.... i can down tune to drop d in 3 seconds flat...

oh wait.... this is for floyd trems isnt it.... woops :oops:
