NORGD: Jackson DR-7

[jwthompson21]

So this started out as my dream to match the DR-7 neck (from a complete guitar) to a King V body (I got both on the 'bay), and of course the string spacing was not suitable for a floyd. Sooooooo... from August until November I patiently repainted the bland black guitar into something more suitable: BEHOLD! New Old Repainted Guitar Day!

I know it's not a great paintjob by any stretch, but it polished out pretty smooth and I put like 14 coats after primer to get some depth in the white and red contrast.

That looks pretty bad ass, man, good call on sort of fudging the burst lines

As crazy as this may sound, I think I would like it better with different knobs. Personally, I think the knobs make it look "cheap", where if you had some knobs that matched a little better, the whole guitar would look "artistic".

This is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the pictures.

As long as YOU'RE happy with it though, doesn't matter! rock on

Good call on the knobs, I was being cheap! They were off of my old AX-7221. Maybe some red ones instead?

Looks interesting! Definitely change the knobs

I'd say some black domes for knobs, to contrast the white.
