Re: my newest addition

WOW, it looks like you did a nice job. I like the white and pins. Is it difficult reaching the higher frets?

Re: my newest addition

Nice work! What does the headstock look like?

[bobvex]

Re: my newest addition

higher frets are easier to reach, and the headstock is a normal standard jackson

Re: my newest addition

very nice guitar. good job. its alot like the jackson alexi laiho had befor he went to esp. i have recently finished a homemade rhoads too it turned out very good its the first guitar i have built and imm only 14. the body is pretty much exactly like a rhoads except it has a little beveled cutaway by the higher frets cant see it to well in the pics though. i used a fender shomaster neck and cut the headstock down to look better.here are the pics:

with the paintjob of his new ESP RRV Custom.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">it's more like the old-school Jackson pins, much cooler than the lame-o pins on his ESP

Re: my newest addition

Bob, that looks great. I followed your thread in the tech section as you were building it. Very cool [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: my newest addition

ahhhh, thanks Vitamin! haha. true to the paintojob, what you said, except it just reminded me of those weak pins on his Pee. you're right, man!

[bobvex]

Re: my newest addition

the paint job idea was a mix between the old RR Vintage Pins, and alexi's new ESP. i too the pins from the RR, and eliminated the 2 horizontal pins going up the body to the neck, they just seemed. . weird to me. . i didnt like em. .

Re: my newest addition

Cool-looking guitar. It's got to be very satisfying to be playing a guitar that you built yourself. And a nice color choice, too. [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
