  • vai would be proud...

    ..here is my '87 550 after the "color" mods. i put a di'marzio norton in the bridge and an air norton in the neck. middle pickup is stock. threw some yellow knobs and a blue switch tip on there and it was pretty good...but it was missing something. the recessed area under the bridge needed something. so i went to the craft section at walmart, bought some blue "craft foam", cut a piece to size and glued in the recess....now it is perfection!!!!

    hurts the eyes and might may someone with a weak stomach vomit, but here is an ibanez from the hey-day of ugliness!!!!! YEE-HAA!!!! oh, and the headstock DOES match, it just catches the flash funny....







    i wish the green pickups matched better, but you really can't notice in normal light. this ugly-assed monster will get its stage debut on 8-15 at "the core" in oldsmar, FL if any tampa area members care to come out!!!!
    GEAR:

    some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!

    some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!

    and finally....

    i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

          Great way to re-finish the trem route. Never thought of that. Good call man.

          I like it too. Very cool.
          I'm angry because you're stupid

              Whats this ugliness you speak of? I don't understand! Those colors look great! My band plays mainly 80's hard rock covers and your colors would suit us perfectly

                hahahahaha, thanks guys!! roody - i think it looks great too, but it is SOOO 80's it's not even funny. i play in an all original hard rock band and we get billed A LOT with tampa death metal bands. i think it will be hilarious to see THEIR crowds react to this guitar.

                i am all about being flambouyant and play the gaudiest guitars around - and this one sort of takes the cake right now!!!

                80's guys get it - the post grunge, nu metal, screamo dudes around my area DO NOT get it!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

                            Too bland. It needs some lasers and pyro.
