    Do Non-Black Seven-Strings Exist?

    Now, at first glance, this may seem like a stupid question: of course they do. But I have a set of requirements: It has to be $700 or less, and it can't be a Schecter or a brand I couldn't try out at Guitar Center (ie no Agiles, Carvins, similar small brands). Schecter is off-limits simply...

    Custom shop Ibanez RG Tutorial.

    Sup guys, Emman here. I own a stock black Ibby and love it to death, but the thing is that while I like the all black smooth finish, I always wanted a white seven string with black binding and couldn’t seem to get what I want anywhere so I decided to get it done by myself. Well, this time I...

    I have cracks and chips all around my volume knob for some reason. I don't know how it got there, I just received the guitar that way. The wood underneath looks fine, but the finish is so cracked I could slip my fingernail under it and chip off the finish if I wanted to. My first question is...

    Help finding finish ideas for future 7'er...

    I'm about to invest in another custom axe, but I've come to a halt in finding unique finishes. I'm looking particularly for washed finishes, but I've only seen so many online. Its very hard to search for them, and not get the commonly seen Warmoth example. Any help would be much appreciated...

    NFD (new finish day) gone bad:(

    Cross post from a fellow site ;): I was bored by the blackness of my 7321 and decided it's time for a new finish. My friend, who's done some finishing before, said he would try it for free - and I thought - well, I'll take the risk. The results were a bit worse than I expected... He said it...

    Finish ideas for a maple fretboard

    I'm usually not keen on maple fretboards, but for a build I'm planning, it's 99.999999% likely the way I'll go. I could just go with a lacquer finish, but I'd really prefer the "bare wood" feel. Can I get away with a very minimal coating of lacquer? Any suggested lacquers? I'm leaning...

    Wierd/Cool "Refinishing" Idea For RG7421

    At some point in the future I'd like to get me a RG7321. Now I know they only come in black, and I like black, but I got a crazy idea for a way to make mine very unique. I would take off the strings, the hardware, the wiring, etc., and sand off the black finish (the headstock too). Now...
