james90 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Sexy! And I saw it nude Yeah, I have a few pictures of it without the paint I think I made a good choice with the paint/hardware colors though. Burnt orange finish, with all hardware black chrome. Headstock is going to have a black overlay with (I think) an orange logo to match the body color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like the headstock is already painted the same orange, then black put over the top, apart from where the logo would go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 You filthy bastards! Curious to see how that's going to look when it's finished, James. I'm not sure what pickups, hardware, etc, you're having on it, so I can't imagine it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Bump A few more weeks now... here's the finish I went for. This picture was from before that problem with the clear coat, but it's been sorted - shouldn't look any different. the colour reminds me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jqns-yUyrg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_ Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 the colour reminds me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jqns-yUyrg That was the one I thought of when I saw it too. Similar shape as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what pickups, hardware, etc, you're having on it, so I can't imagine it at the moment. -mississippi queen neck pickup -miracle man bridge pickup -ibanez lo pro bridge -gotoh 510 tuners (3 on each side of the headstock) Everything is going to be black chrome (including the pickups). I think I asked for dome style control knobs, but I'll have to check. the colour reminds me of: mindfuck but yeah, the color is similar to that - maybe a tad darker.

james90 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks, I only gave it a quick strum as I'm letting it warm up first. I'll have to post more once I play it, as I can only really give my thoughts on how it looks! /jabnit Pickup covers are a little lighter in color than the rest of the black chrome, but I still love how it turned out - it's better than I originally planned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyfo_Diaz Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I took this with my point and shoot. Is that your first "proper" custom? Good choice with the black chrome btw, nice touch, looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomrulez Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 In the second picture it looks like the floyd is really high up, is that just the angle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly. Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Why has the headstock got scratch marks already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Why has the headstock got scratch marks already? if you mean those really fine ones, that's probably just from buffing or something - otherwise i don't see any In the second picture it looks like the floyd is really high up, is that just the angle? It is, but the action seems normal and the strings aren't pulling it forward too much, so i'm guessing it's supposed to be like that. guessing it has something to do with the neck joint (which is amazing, need to get a picture of that) also, the miracle man has some really impressive single coil tones when split Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yeah, just saw those color is slightly lighter in those pictures than it is in real life - it's one of those many guitars that are difficult to photograph! You can see the picture of the neck joint on there - it has really easy upper fret access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
