Title: Remeber this 7 string?
Post by: Andy Lindsay on August 11, 2006, 07:26:55 PM
I posted this a few weeks ago. An RG6721 I picked up on evilbay in America. I think someone described it as, it looked like someone had spewed a curry on it and swirled it around. Well..............

........here it is now. I was going to burn the finish off and repaint it, but I kinda liked how it looked when it was sat there on fire, so that's what I did with it. Scr@ped off all the loose finish, sanded parts of it, then sealed it with a matt finish. I stripped the neck back to bare wood and waxed it up, had a new logo made for the headstock in chrome, then slapped in the new pickups Tim kindly made for me. Sounds awesome!

I was about to say keep the finish, but then I saw what you did to it. Really good job.

But, the brown and green paint shop doesn't ask what you're going to use it on before they sell it to you - means that you can create your own camoness :lol:

Nice one - now where were you in the 1970's- dozens of living rooms in the Western Hemisphire could have done with your skills ( and I am sure that there are pockets  of present day Australia for that matter )....I expect and deserve flaming from Oz guys so I apologise in advance for cheap jibe.

That looks very cool. Too bad there aren't any covers for 7-string pickups.

WOW! That is amazing. I think Vai actually had Ibanez burn a few guitars for him. He wanted the look of the Strat that Jimi lit on fire that Frank Zappa owned.

I will agree with everyone else, that guitar needs distressed covers.

That was the guitar in the For The Love Of God video. The pickups got a bit melted in the process, maybe thats the look you need to go for :wink:
