Photoshop request

[P I K A]

I really like the Schenker (Dean) V's but I would like to see that paint scheme on a KV2T or KV2. White and black ,very cool I wonder how much different it would look on a Jackson V? Can someone mock that up for me? Thanks.

Re: Photoshop request

The Gibson and Dean V's are symmetrical shapes . The Jackson headstock will throw this off , so I'm not sure if it would work ?
Be cool to see a mock up though

I've seen a Rhoads with a b&w split really recently, but can't remember where.... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

The KV2T will work much better for the symmetrical headstock thing. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Of course, the Y2KV can be used, but that's nearly just the Gibson V shape anyways, so it doesn't count. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Here ya go:







Definitely looks better with the inverse bevels IMO.
Tried black/white binding but the black won't show as well as the white.
You'll have to use an SLS head - it just don't look right with a regular pointy because the color-scheme itself screams 3x3 head

The second and third one, with the contrasting bevels... friggin' WOW!!!!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

What would make it right would be a brushed chrome/aluminum truss rod cover... at the moment, because the truss rod cover is black, there's "too much" black on the headstock when it should be 50/50. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

But WOW!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

Great job, these are awesome!

Re: Photoshop request

Actually you'd want a 50/50 inverse truss rod cover as a nod to Schenker's original Gibson pickguard. While the bevels help with that reference, the tr cover would complete the look, and the chrome tuners connect visually with the chrome bridge/v-plate and knobs.

Chrome hardware with black pickups to keep the black/white scheme, or covered chrome pickups with black hardware, but not both [img]/images/graemlins/nono.gif[/img]

Thanks, N.I.L. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

I'd be all over the Dean Schenker if they'd have put block inlays on it, but I'm sure Gibson threw a sissy fit about it [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Photoshop request

Thanks Newc they all look good to me. I'm thinking of throwing white emg's but leaving the bezels black. Otherwise its hard to pick I like them all. Very cool and thank you.

Re: Photoshop request

awesome work, Newc.

fwiw, I think you could still do it with the standard Jackson headstock, but don't paint the headstock. Leave the face all black with a white logo, white binding
