My Custom Ibanez

Beecher

Gentlemen, behold the first pics of my custom Ibanez.



This hasn't been clear coated yet but I love it! I know swirls arent everyones cup of tea but I love them!

I'd have gone with a Fede swirl, I don't like Richard Fey's stuff at all, but if you like it yourself, good stuff . Beauty is in the eye...etc.

Looks like you're going for some fancy switching/electronics. Nice:D

Hope you're sticking some zany coloured pickups in there

Zapp Brannigan

I like it, very modern

feylya

Love the nail polish

The surf green reminds me of a mint Aero for some reason.

Dord

I dunno, not my cupan tae. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Better than pickup stickers, I suppose

Nothing too fancy, Dimarzio humbuckers and an internal Roland GK3

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! :eek:


In fairness, well done. By all accounts that swirl is pretty hard to do and that looks fairly swish, good job. Just make sure you don't add some clear coats into the neck pocket too, you may never get the neck back on, I'd check to see how tight fitting it is now before I'd do anything else.

Ah its not been done by me, its being done by Richard Fay in England. I always liked his style of swirling:

That is very, very sexy

Karl Hungus

Doctor J

Well I managed to get a mint prestige neck and all the electronics off ebay for great prices so all in all its costing me a bit less than a new Ibanez prestige which is great
