Charvel Dragon custom!

[charvelsteen]

Charvel dragon custom. material finish done by me finished in acrylic lacquer

Gfs trem/brassblock
purple dimarzio super3 bridge and protrack neck
gotoh pegs
2x push pull/ 1 vol 1 tone coil tap/ 3way switch

I just finished wiring the thing up and am in the process of setting it up. I just notice one of the strings isn't even resting in the nut haha, Oh well you get the idea. I think i will be ditching this neck and going to a cbs fender style reverse headstock as i never have much luck with angled headstocks and vintage tremolos. This guitar is just a bit of fun mostly i am sure many of you will know straight away what model it is.

Fuck it was meant to be posted in the import charvel area. ooops sorry guys.

Very cool!

Having the 2 strings sharing a single nut slot must make for some cool tapping techniques!

Leave the pointy on, looks great.

The neck isn't great, It has a slight twist in it the frets have been leveled by a rookie and it has the angled headstock. It does look cool but it doesnt function all that great. I mean i will set it up so it can be played it will just never have super action.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Do you print these wraps or buy them from somewhere?

I can do either but the artwork for this one came from a shirt like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mountain-...item2ec19b9cba

I would love to see a video on how you do this with cloth material. I think a lot of these you have shown are pretty cool.

What and reveal all my secrets? HA! I would like to but editing the video would be a bitch wouldn't it?

Yo i realized the other day that the lil wizards wand can act like a volume indicator.



On a side note i would love to make or mod a neck so that the fretboard extends out and runs on the same angle as the neck puppy. It would be 25 frets and i was thinking maple. But that's a dream atm i have to many other builds to finish

Don't laugh at this but i quickly just mocked up this in ps just so you get what i am talking about.
