Dæmoness custom #2 in progress (pics)

I have to ask. Is it the angle of the photos or does this cat have a top flight mullet?

[Nolly]

A brush-on finish?  That's unusual, what is it?

Ah, that's an epoxy coat. On the neck that is the final layer, which is sanded back to a very pleasingly slippery satin feel (which is the state of the front of the guitar at the moment). On this build the back of the guitar is going to have the same satin finish, but the front will have the pink stain applied on top of the epoxy basecoat, then a final gloss layer will be put on top of that.

Haha, yes, Dylan proudly sports a prime mullet.

The neck binding with the massive markers reminds me of an Everton mint.

Anyone else think the natural top on the body looks great with the maple fretboard?

Adam I don't know if it's the photos but that neck profile is the thinnest I think I've ever seen!

Hah, I know what you mean about the natural top, but I'm also dedicated to the cause of supreme pinkness for this guitar  :D

I think the size of the side markers dwarfs the depth of the neck somewhat, making it look thinner than it is. 18.5mm is thin,  but not quite in the league of the Ibby wizard necks (the super wizard is 17mm).

So... I asked for a pink guitar...





































It doesn't get much pinker than this :eek::eek: :flame:

Additionally, the eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed something going on the higher frets, behold:



Finally, I brought dad along since he was keen to see the workshop for himself. Good times:

THAT IS BLOODY AWESOME!!!

 :D :P :D

[James C]

Very Pink Indeed!!! at least you have the skills to make a pink guitar work along with messrs Vai , Gilbert and Vincent

[Philly Q]

I think the pink was a good choice!

What control layout's it going to have?

[bucketshred]

Awesome, loving the pink.

[dave_mc]

nice :D

[Nolly]

Thanks guys, it's certainly very eye catching  :lol:

Philly, it's going to have the same layout as on my 7 - very close to the old Ibanez Petrucci model.

[nfe]

Good grief. I think that's utterly hideous! :lol:

So long as you like it though. I've still never played any kind of scalloped guitar, even with 5 odd years working in guitar shops, I remain curious.

So just vol, tone and a switch (with the auto coil-split in the middle?)

I've been thinking of putting together something with an HS layout and maybe just a volume control and switch (Philly Q in superstrat shocker!).  Probably never happen of course...

I like the partial scallop idea.  I had a Yamaha bass like that (Billy Sheehan style) and it really did give much better "grip" on the strings around the top few frets.  Don't think I'd fancy a fully scalloped neck though.

If I ever regain my eye sight I will sue you for ordering that colour on such a nice guitar.
