Wow, I had a dealer graphics album with some of those in it:

Excellent and welcome home !

Do you still do custom graphics? I'm sure folks here would be sending work your way, if so.

Wow..thanks Newc. There are probably better than a dozen that I'm sure I painted. I have some better pics of many. I've found my photos, but the slides are still hiding somewhere.

Always dug the Space Tomato thing

The space tomato, metal bird, and bridge were winners of that Japanese contest.

Wow, newc, either this is an old guitar of mine or the finish is exactly the same. I wish I could read what it says on the stick better. Man, it's like seeing a girlfriend I haven't seen in 20 yrs.

It says Brown Camoflage, and I believe that I painted this one. There's another with a german tank on it that I'm positive I painted.

I think I did it since the black is a little heavy on the seams, and I was just figuring it out. I had a real blow-out with the production manager on this one since he thought I mixed the colors wrong. He made me strip it down to wood myself (there were others in the shop who did that kind of stuff) to make a point. I was 27 years old and didn't appreciate being treated like I was in Jr, high.

Well, you were working at Jackson about the time I bought it as I recall. My guitar has a maple board and reverse headstock that was painted the same as the body.

Wow, great stuff!!!

Great of you to share these pics here. More please! . I have an 87 rising sun, maybe you painted that?

Very likely. I'm sure a did a dozen of two.

Actually it says "Desert Camouflage" and "Donnie F2" (looks like "F2" - could it be "F'n W"?

I always thought that Metal Bird would look great on a Warrior :drool:

I can see the "Desert Camouflage" and the rest would be "Donnie FZ" possibly. It's just weird seeing that after all these years. I remember using the panel lines to line up where to get harmonics off the body.

Donnie was the name of the production manager....wonder what the F2 or other notation was? I need to find those slides since I think I may have this one.

[sheltered]

Found this one. I want to say it went to Finland.

[neilli]

It has been a while. I did paint some for Megadeth and Anthrax.

Cool - the Anthax guitars were among the first guitars that ever got me into Jackons!

PM sent about that

I found a scan of this bass.
