Re: Trans Purple...I\'m all over this one

If it was 1 hum, top mount Floyd, maple fretboard, and reverse headstock, I would be in. Oh..., and black hardware. The gold is a little too, "pimpish" for my taste.

Re: Trans Purple...I\'m all over this one

Scott, how many guitars do you need to order to get something like this?

[vwall]

Re: Trans Purple...I\'m all over this one

Well, with those specs you have, it wont happen as a Usa Select small batch..
No wood working changes by rule from Jackson.
So it would have to be a custom shop
whether I ordered 1 or 10.

SOme dont liket the Gold hardware because its "pimpish", HEY! Pimpin' aint easy!!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] yes its pimpish and I love it!!! Especially with purple. I can almost hear the intro Wah wah riff from "Shaft" in my head [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

alright, you guys beat me [img]/images/graemlins/eviltongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img] I will have to live with the oiled neck if I decide to order. I got to sit and think now..... can I do the oiled neck.

Sambencuda, I cant believe Ron never publically flogged you for that mis-spelling of subtle. good you caught it first!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The pickups are a non-issue for me. If I get one, the production pups will be swapped for Duncans before I even see the guitar. Maybe I can go get a can of varnish from the hardware store and slap some on the back of the neck.

BTW, I would REALLY be in if it was like mulder1966 described.

Ron is gwtting sloe on the dra I gess. he aint been Round here poleesing us on spellling issooz. I kant beleeve that he didnt Kech that airor.

SO let me ask this serious question: How often do you have to oil a oiled neck?? I have a 1997 Dk1 that I wondered if I should oil the neck. Is that something you have to do periodically with tung oil??? help me on this. THanks!!!

Re: Trans Purple...I\'m all over this one

Well, I don't think it's something that you have to do periodically, but I could be wrong. I did a tung oil finish on a Fusion I had and an Ibenhad 7 string. The more coats you do, the more the tung oil will build up. I put two coats on the Fusion and it felt almost like raw wood. I put 4 coats on the 7 string and it had more of a satin finish feel to it. I played those for over a year and It never seemed to wear down. I would think that after a while, it might wear to the wood, but It hasn't happened to me yet.

Re: Trans Purple...I\'m all over this one

My new necks I use boiled linseed oil, (Lee suggested this type) and oil them 3 times. I rub them with my hand very fast, the friction generates heat and seems to seal better. After that I do it a couple times more after a month or two. If you play them alot, the sweat and booze seems to keep them nice and smooth! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Trans Purple...I\'m all over this one

LOL.. and the funny thing is Jim, I spelled subtle the exact same way... but edited it out of fear of the over correcting mrs. fowl.. I mean roN [img]/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Anyways gents... Im leaning towrds a Diamrzio Super 3 bridge and the Tone Zone in the neck.
Whats the final words as I only have a few more hours til this last change goes in...

[tonemonster]

Re: Trans Purple...I\'m all over this one

along those pimp lines, I do have one request: should we have "Slick" engraved on the truss rod cover?? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Maybe the case should be lined iwth thick pink shag or white with black zebra striped shag? whatcha think???

I dont care about the pickups so I wont vote there. You guys can pick them. If I order one, I will have mine retrofitted with Duncans before I even see it. So my vote is mute.

[sambencuda]

Re: Trans Purple...I\'m all over this one

Super 3 and Tonzone sounds good to me as well as the zebra shag in the case. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
