The Ibanez hornectomy

Post by 61fury »

Here's the Ibanez shredder I reshaped. got a bit much off the bouts. I also hand radiused the edge's to 1/4 -1/2 inch. It's going to be my little girl guitar, pink leather sparkle pick guard from a Saks purse a friend gave me, white pearly body, 3 P 90's , white covers with slide switches.
Or a polished metal striped aluminum pickguard, I will see what strikes me. the Saks leather is tough, I doubt it would ever show scratches.

Bought a cheap " Marigold/Harmony" guitar for the neck, I think the headstock goes well with the body shape. The body was always that small, it was those ridiculous horns that gave it the length. So I'm a fan of reshaping bodies. I took pics along the way, liked several earlier horn lengths but this is where I ended up

Hey, that looks great!
A polished metal striped aluminum pickguard and three p90s would make that the ultimate
garage punk machine. 8)
