Looks killer ! Definatly one of the best project/mods I've seen to a guitar... ever !

 

[LordCashew]

Badass! Was it hard to bend the veneer over the forearm contour? Did you have to wet it or heat it?

Tell Ibanez you'll sell the rights to that model! That is the ONLY 2228 I've ever seen that I liked. And TBH, when you started this thread off with that power sander to the lower horn, I was SURE this would end in a major face-palm. But you pulled it off like I would never have believed possible!

 

[romper_stomper]

Looks fucking nice!!! I like the gap.. it looks hard as shit!!!

Hey vova.

[MF_Kitten]

you have truly brought this guitar out of "meh" land, and into "OMFG WOW!" land. you´ve got some major balls to take on a project like this, considering it´s a high end pricey guitar, and it´s not the easiest thing to do. it looks great!
