Out there, somewhere
I dig the overall design but the routes are terribly oversized and the "inlays" look like gold paint :2c: Looks like some nice flamed maple.

Are you the builder?

The decals are gold foil. Looks great in person. The routing doesn't bother me. Terribly oversized is a bit of an exaggeration.....

I like it for the most part, but lack of something on the headstock and those fret markers are a big turn off for me.

I don't like gold inlays.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong man, the guitar looks great.
I bet it sounds great too, just lil things bother me.

For instance, I hate inlays on RGs so my 7420 will be getting a new blank ebony board.

EDIT AGAIN:
Anyone else notice there's no pickup switch?

Oh I know its a rip off!!! haha! But I like Caparison so I used It. How many times have fender been ripped off. It`s right in between the Caparison 6 and 7 string so not exact!! Caparison doesn`t offer what I exactly wanted.

I like blank fretboards too. which is why my next custom will be blank except for my name on the 12th fret.

I just wanna mention that this guitar is one that needs to be seen up close. When I first saw it done I shit. It just stood there gleaming. I guess I like gold and pearl! And the flame is extremely pronounced.

Yeh, the routes are a lil big and I could do without the inlays, but the guitar is gorgeous otherwise. Love the colors and the scarab, and love how the flame pattern goes all the way from the headstock down the body. Makes everything feel connected.
