Inazone "Signature" Dinky - Part 1 (Big Pics)

[Inazone]

After waiting all day for the UPS guy to arrive, he finally showed up with a box for me from GMW Guitar Works! It's the Inazone "signature" Dinky, or at least the body - the neck is with a local luthier for custom inlays. Per my color and pattern specs, Dan Lawrence painted one of my JDX-94 Concept Dinky bodies to go with my band's serpent-themed album artwork. Dark green stretch python graphic running down the middle of the body "under" the bridge and pickups. The singles are stock Jacksons with a DiMarzio Steve's Special humbucker mounted in a string-thru-body hardtail bridge.

Lee tells me they've never done a snakeskin running right down the middle before, so he had me draw the dimensions in silver Sharpie on the body before shipping it to him. Because of the long weekend and my local inlay guy going out of town, I'll have to wait until Tuesday to get the body to him for reassembly and setup. After that, I can post Part 2.

(Pardon the foam dust and enormous pics.)

Yes! That's awsome man. I personally got a think for Snakes and the color green, so that guitar is the shit! Congrats, GMW did a damn good job [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

The G is for Garver (Lee), the M was for Moser (Neal), and the W is for Dan "Wizard" Lawrence.

Yeah?

I am sure he is not an employee per se.

Lee told me that they weren't sure how it was going to turn out, but once Dan started painting, it made sense. Personally, I'm surprised nobody had done it "my" way before, as opposed to the graphic running diagonally.

Unfortunately, it looks like it'll be a week before I have the finished guitar. Just in time for my next show...
