I'm actually liking this one. Should be a nice player, that neck joint looks fantastic.

Welcome to 1986. Mulletland.

I suppose the general opinion here would be "not really my style, but it looks nice and it looks like its coming together very well". I'd go with that.

These threads usually result in people having a little more respect for Icey (he's a pointy guitar fan and is fine with it, knows what he wants and carries on that way) and a little less for watts (he's just being a tosser pillhead as always).

I don't think the matching back plates serve a point. It's still perfectly obvious that they're removable, so what's the point in trying to hide them? I think he could've more tastefully hid the rear routes as well, those are three pretty randomly placed blobs.

I don't think it's all that impressive, but I'm not usually entitled to a negative opinion in these threads.

I think it's a neat idea but those cuts and routes are really ruff and the way the spring cover meets the control cover just looks terrible.

The one dubious thing I have to mention is that the routes have got suspiciously bigger between the non covered photo and the covered one.

Yeah i noticed that too, but they're still not very straight, they need to be cleaned up a bit.

ofcourse they got bigger, well that is to say the uncovered pic has no ridge for the cover to sit in. duh!!

lookin good ice.

Well, it looks better than plastic, wouldn't you say? And they are not randomly placed; that's a pretty standard location for jackson and ibanez style guitars.

over black its not apear so much

but its looks fugly at Unmatched colours


looks an improvisement to close the routes , thats why i stick matched , its looks more natural

icey, man im glad to see people that dont just say "its not a 60's shortscale" in this thread. also, the guitar looks ace, are you gonna leave it natural or paint it? i say leave it.

its not a 60's shortscale.

I do like the wood back plates though. I'd just worry about them cracking or something.

Meh, if they crack, you could easily replace them with plastic if need be. But I doubt they'll crack easier than plastic, and chances are they won't all crack at once.

If I were you I'd do a natural toned Transparent finish or stain. That's some beautiful wood there. I would let it speak for itself, instead of coating it in a flashy green finish.

It's your custom made guitar so you know what you want better than I do. I'm just saying....in my opinion, green just wouldn't do a custom guitar like that any justice.

ok i will think about

Clean is nice idea too ^^

GREEN ROCKS

Not like that it don't.
