[simonXsludge]

[Jexey]

I whipped this up in 5 minutes for someone else with a matching headstock (as you can see the lazyness in the headstock)
I like the matching headstock

Can someone please mock this up in white. I'm thinking about getting mine painted. I really think Ibanez was just giving us the middle finger by making these guitars sparkle.

 

[Jexey]

The blue looks quite bad ass!!

The build is still on. I'm leaving the tone knobs black because i'm kind of worried about the paint blobbing on the textured finish and the headstock black for now, for I can always go back and paint more later!!

Tomorrow is rip down day. I was thinking of sanding down some of the edges or putting a bevel on some shit because the body feels like a big sparkly brick but I think i'll hold off on that =)

 

[Jexey]

Man I really do like that matching headstock tho. You're a dick for confusing me more

 

[ncbrock]

definatly round all the edges, would look so clean, and poppy at the same time cuz the orange. I agree with leaving the headstock black on the orange one

hey if anyone could do an rga8 in yellow i would realy appreciate it (yellow like on the rg350) with black hardware, ( and if they wouldnt mind the same but with a black outline on the outer edge, on another one) id really appreciate this as my rga8 comes in about three or four days, and i intend to bring it to a friend that does this kind of thing, the day of, or the day after i get it.

 

[glassmoon0fo]

not exactly an rga8 but this is my rg7620 in that yellow youre talking about (its called "desert yellow") with black binding. should give you at least an idea of what youre looking at.

 

[Itsmychapel]

yeah thats exactly what i was trying to see, thanks i can get a picture of it, ill probably do the desert yellow with the black bindings, thanks for the name of the color as well

 

[Jontain]

For me it would have to be orange / black combo (100% NOT neon though)

 

[TreWatson]

I can't afford a 2228, and even if i could, I wouldnl't have the balls to mess with the paint for fear of ruining it. haha

 

[Jexey]

Wow that desert yellow looks awesome.

I'm starting tests this week on other guitars, like TreKita said I don't want to go mad scientist on the 2228 just yet.

I will post pictures of the other guitars. I'm trying a natural finish on an old Agile Septor, and just fkn around with an old ibanez 22 fret POS!!

 

[Jexey]

So here are the results so far:

Hand sanding is entirely tiresome and taxing, especially around horns. The other guitars are coming slowly.

Make sure to shake the can of primer before you try spraying it.
(lol)

 

[Jexey]

So this is back to the top, after the little break I took while futzing with other stuff. Do you guys think I can pull off the repaint without sanding it down? The paint is going on it in the next couple weeks and after completing sanding down the sevenstring project I have going on I do NOT want to do it to this guitar

I'm finishing the headstock as well, but leaving all the natural areas of the guitar untouched. (Back of neck, headstock etc.)

I may never get a grip on the English language =)

You speak English than some people who speak English as a native language.
