Sup?
I have a spare Schecter Omen-7 laying around for a while primarily because it's neck is twisted - I'll start a different thread about the proccess. The guitar was pretty beaten up, too, so I decided to try fixing it up and do a refinish on the whole axe, somehow inspired by Lambos. What I mean by it: carbon fiber + satin black (and maybe some orange stripes).
Proposed specs:
- Satin black sperzel tuners;
- Black TOM bridge;
- EMG 707's;
- 3M carbon fiber veneer on the body and headstock;
- Graphtech carvin slotted nut;
- Headstock modification;
- Neck black staining;
- Scale black staining;
DISCLAIMER: I'm not a pro, I don't have the necessary tools nor the skills, and I am used to do things in the wrong order. You will see in the pics.
For those who don't know how a standard Omen-7 should look like:
I started by taking away a crappily replaced nut:
Started the sanding and pickup routing...
So I was anxious to see how a maple neck would look like if heavily stained. And so I did it:
Who needs graphite necks after all?![Fawk :fawk: :fawk:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/fawk.gif)
As mentioned before, I started the wrong way just to see how it would look like. The neck needs proper sanding, and I'm thinking about a different inlay for it. This is just a tease.
