I did this image with the custom shop generator a while back and finally decided to do the project.
The body is a DXMG and the neck is a DKMG, I picked up both on eBay. The pickups are Seymore Duncan Distortion Mayhem set. Trem is a Floyd copy. Gotoh Tuners. Gold Yin-Yang Neck plate by NYGDesigns.com. Yin-Yang truss rod cover by westsigns.com. Strap locks are wilkinson. All screws and hardware I got from stewmac. I did the paint myself.
I couldn't be happier with how the paint turned out. It looks badass (the pics suck). The sound and action are incredible, it has sustain for days. The duncans sound great, the neck is a bit muddy at full volume though. I probably should have used a jazz in the neck.
The downside is that this is the 1st recessed trem guitar I've had and I really HATE the strings being so close to the body. I just can't seem to get used to it. Hopefully I'll get used to it eventually or just get over it as I'd hate to make this a "wall queen" or get rid of it. I'll try to get some better pics outside if the weather improves. The pics of the neck plate didn't turn out at all but it's beautiful.
