[ChrisWFTS]

Looks pretty legit if you ask me, and only 4 bucks to do it!

wow that looks realy good man. i dont readily know what the headstock logo on that model looks like. did you do that up with tape too? because it matches really really well

also, those are PAFs right? how are you liking them?

Lookin good. Definitely spices up the look of the guitar.

Yeah I did it to both the body and the headstock. Im actually planning on upgrading the pickups to a crunchlab/liquifire combo but that is not to say they arent good pickups. Just not for me. They actually can pull of some pretty heavy stuff and the neck is super smooth. The cleans are where they really shine though.

You used some of the tapes and just put on it??

Yeah pretty much. It took a while to get it exactly the way I wanted but it ends up looking pretty good. I used 1/4 inch automotive pinstriping tape.

^ Nice!! Btw, it makes the guitar looks like a RG7821 or RG1077XL with the fixed bridge in green... Awesome!

that looks great man. ive been wanting to do this to my apex2 since i first got it.

I really love the way it makes the headstock look with the Ibanez logo already being white. Looks great!

i did this to my vendetta and may be doing it to others soon

What lengths of tape were you working with? Didn't it wrinkle or crease when doing the cutaways, horns and tip of the headstock? I'd imagine you wouldn't be able to work with more than a couple of inches at a time.

Not on the body it didnt, the headstock was a different story. You really just have to get some yourself and mess with it. I got it to look almost perfect on the body, like you literally couldnt tell if it was fake. Im disputing wether or not to take it off the headstock though cause its kind of obvious.
