Aright people, after seeing Jym's thread with his epic Giger inspired graphic I had to contact Fourth Floor Graphics and see about getting a space skin. A few PM's and mockups later and my payment was sent
First of all I gotta say, Dave is a really cool dude to work with, he responds quickly and generates mockups for anything you throw at him. After payment, he printed and shipped out my graphic in 2 business days, the dude runs a tight operation.
So onto some shitty night time pics, apologies for the quality Ill be taking more tomorrow with natural light!
Here is the skin and the body it will be going on:
The skins are made of very nice material, I wasn't sure what to expect but this vinyl is top notch and goes on solid but is also easily movable if you fuck up
So here it is part way applied, I chose to keep everything wired up while I applied it so I followed Dave's instructions and cut a slit to pull my bridge pickup through, then just pulled the neck one into the neck pocket.
At this point I was stressing over cutting out the pickup cavities and I'd say it took me about 50 minutes just getting the cavities cut, and it is still a little rough but I'm fine with it
Here is the finished product in very shitty pics, I'll definitely take more pics tomorrow!! No strings cause it snowed all day today and I couldn't get to the music shop for new strings sadly![Really Mad :realmad: :realmad:](/images/smilies/realmad.gif)
Be ready for better pics tomorrow! Probably!![Yes Way :yesway: :yesway:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/yesway.gif)
PS:
This is honestly some high quality vinyl and printing, if you have any doubts about Fourth Floor Graphics then don't! My graphic came out way better then I ever imagined, it looks better then any artist with an airbrush could of done. The detail is phenomenal.![Bowdown :bowdown: :bowdown:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/bowdown.gif)
