Ok, I've finally decided to lay down the cash and have the custom shop make something for me, but I need a little bit of help in a few areas. Heres what im looking at getting so far:
-Neck Thru, Soloist style body
-Birdseye maple neck w/ ebony sharkfins
-Quilted maple top
-San Dimas neck profile
-Black binding
-Non recessed Floyd
-Standard headstock
I needed to get some input on pickup selection from the pros here. Im looking to get a 2H config. Ideally i'd like to be able to switch from an older 80's thrash kind of a sound (like destructions infernal overkill, or kill em all) to a more harsh distortion like discordance axis or assuck (yes, thats a real band name [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ) Right now im thinking a PAF or some kind of medium output pickup in the neck and something like a screaming demon or a super distortion for the bridge... Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Also about finishes. Im thinking of something similar to the PC1's mocha finish, but I didn't think the black binding would show very well on the body. Anybody got a good picture of a mocha or trans black quilted top with black binding??? Im also considering a dark purple quilt top similar to the 10 string rhoads on the front inside cover of the 2002 jackson catalog, or a dark red cabernet.....
