i seek your opinions!
« on: June 08, 2009, 02:01:09 PM »
I have a sims custom shop rg style body at home, totally nekkid, swamp ash (it weighs nothing!) black binding and a rather lovely bidseye/ ebony neck to match.

question number one is how do i finish it? I'm thinking a honeyburst sorta vibe, to soften the mean-ness of the guitars shape and show-off the binding

question number two, anyone have any experience with the bkp 7's?

sadly i can't upload an image cos i can only get online from work at the mo'
ta for looking

As far as BKP 7's go, i have the Nailbomb7 bridge and neck in an Ibanez RG7321, they nail all kinds of rock and metal, i asked Tim for the John Petrucci tone, and he recommended the Nailbombs
Formerly "ManOnTheEdge"

Dunno. It also goes by gunstock oil, it may be easier to find if you have an alternative name for it.
