My new paint scheme put into play.

[David]

looks good! make it white red so I can call you a communist bastard

 

[Mastodon]

Ooh, hypnotizing.

 

[Elysian]

heres an idea a friend of mine had, so i photochopped it, might work on this tomorrow...

edit: and i made the x2n white, and made the bridge black, this is basically how i wish it looked

 

[fathead]

Nice paint

 

[bostjan]

believe it or not, i was thinking the same thing, but thought the appearance might make some people dizzy. It definately looks 100x better with the white x2n, though....

 

[Elysian]

you know, the more i look at it, the more i like the cream x2n, and i'd be tempted to get another cream x2n for the neck spot...

 

[Elysian]

hm i'm thinking of brushed aluminum for the covers...

 

[bostjan]

brushed aluminum can be cool too! I still vote for mirrored, though.

 

[Elysian]

i'm not a fan of mirrored, hence why my universe doesn't have one

 

[bostjan]

Ok, I'm going to have to post pics of my POS Epi LP with mirrored pickgaurd so you can see just how bad mirrored can look! hang on...

My POS Epi LP w/ bad color combo

Notice the jackplate I never finished screwing in?

I made all of those mod's when I was about 14 or 15. It was my second electric guitar ever and came stock with cream plastic knobs, pickguard, pickup rings, blah blah blah.

I swapped out the cream stuff for what you see there, and but grovers on 'er. The thing looked so ugly, I had to find the most obnoxious strap to slap on it.

Looks cool. 2 things i would have changed:
1)Filled in the neck pickupslot before painting
2)Made the white parts go onto the sides as well.

Otherwise, i think it looks pretty damn solid.

oh, come on...there are thousands of things you can say about that guitar.

none of them are good

last year i almost routed it out for sympathetic strings. in 1996, i almost sprung for EMG's. now i'm glad i never did. i should have never bought that thing.

1)Filled in the neck pickupslot before painting

Why?

i did it like i did on purpose, because with Rhoads V's, its so damn popular to do the bevels, and i think its way overdone, so i decided not to even touch them. i also didn't really want to fill in the neck pickup, i don't mind having one on my Rhoads V, it comes in handy with the jazz stuff i've been learning lately, the PAF reissue there is a great pickup for that kind of tone, hate it for everything else lol

 

[Elysian]

and funny enough, i didn't measure anything, it still turned out great.

 

[Leon]

i dig the white x2n and black bridge

i always say, if you're going to do it, you might as well go the full 9.

 

[Shawn]

Lookin' sharp, man, nice job!

 

[anarchistwar]

Awsome!

 

[7slinger]

looks pretty cool

 

[Digital Black]

Looks killer. All chrome hardware would set it off right.
