Re: BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID...

Thanks, guys. I love it. The work was done by Daneen and it certainly rivals Dan Lawrence. Here's the headstock on the Skulls:
And then she did me up this "Chinese Multi-Color Dragon" also on a Warrior. I'm pretty Warrioried right now [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I didn't realize that one has the SLS headstock...

now would you please be so kind and post a pic of the WHOLE guitar? I'd really like to know what a warrior with SLS headstock looks like... [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

(And yes, I want to have the ultimate desktop wallpaper [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )

Re: BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID...

Is that THREE single coils?

[charvel750]

Re: BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID...

Yes, the Floyd Rose trem arm is painted to match!

The pickups are Duncan Hot Rails, so technically they are humbuckers. That is the only way to get a very close "full humbucker" tone from a single coil sized pickup. When Chuk originally ordered this through GC he wanted the pickups more like the original Warrior layout, but GC confused that request with the Custom Shop. Sounds wonderfully tone-a-licious as is.

The paint does not affect the tone/functionality of the pickups or the hardware in the slightest. I've now had two guitars done this way and never a problem, trust me.

Re: BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID...

kick ass, its all crazy dude. I didn;t even know you could paint floyds...its awesome. Daneen Does do kick ass work...

Now, about the dragon warrior, did you remove a knob? what with the hole below the tone knob?

[charvel750]

Re: BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID...

The Dragon has EMG pickups (89 in the bridge and SA in the neck) so I removed the original Jackson electronics. The hole is where the mini toggle switch was originally (which controlled the wah sweep effect). I have the switch and just need to install it as a dummy to fill the gap. And yep, she painted the switch white! The EMG-89 is split from the volume push/pull pot...

Hey, why not paint the fret board as well? [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
