Custom Soloist

[thesoloist]

Here it is folks, i'm planning on putting my custom shop order in soon:


Neck Through Archtop Soloist

Basically it's the flesh and bones graphic I was talking about in an earlier thread with metallic black for the back/neck/headstock and in between the white. The pickup will be an Original Bill Lawrence XL500L, Original Floyd rose gold Pro, Small stainless steel Frets, One volume knob, Recessed back jack plate, Korina for layered neck and wings, ebony fret board with no inlays and gold hardware.

looks pretty cool. I like the BL pickups for the bridge. No inlays huh?

[jwoods986]

Cool, that's different. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get it!

[VitaminG]

neato! I like that

[shredmonster]

Yeah thats cool. I like it too.

[danastas]

Yowza, I'm a big fan of the neck and the graphic. Black, white and gold hardware. Hmmmm.

[dynamike]

Man, that guitar is beautiful!

[jcm800x]

Correct knob placement!

[GodOfRhythm]

I love it!

Although what I personally think, would finish it off, is if you had that black/white striping/figure on the headstock too and then wherever the headstock is black: the logo over that part is white and wherever the headstock is white (because of the graphic) the logo is black.

Volume knob is that where you really want it ?

[jackson1]

Very cool.

How are you gonna convey the graphics to Jackson? Just this picture?

[thesoloist]

Nah the volume knob i'll probaly move. To convey the graphics i'll send them this mock up aswell as the flesh and bones graphic and see what they come up with:


Yeah about the black and white on the headstock, i was considering that but i really like the pure metallic black with the gold tuners. I might also order it with a gold metallic truss rod cover with my sig in it

[jblicharz]

Nice! I would use black hardware, white neck & h/s binding and matching lightning inlay. However, I'm a fan of the traditional sharfins and that completes any jackson for me.

uh man, that looks awesome!

If you've never ordered a custom shop before take this advice. Be as specific as you possibly can and DO NOT assume anything. Even with everything on the order form do not assume you'll get what you want.
