HOLY CRAP!! (Can I say that on here? LOL!)

[Spikezone]

I just popped over to the shop where I had my guitar painted and it has come out beyond my wildest dreams!!!! I couldn't bring it home yet, because it's still curing, but I think it's safe to say I will be able to start assembling it by the end of the week! Pics will be coming when that happens...

get those pics up here as soon as you can.
plz, of course.:2guns:

[Spikezone]

Yeah I was gonna wait til the guitar was assembled, but I betcha any money that once I get the body home, I'm gonna have to shoot it and get the pics posted (I get excited and have NO patience! LOL!)

[Xanadu]

lol, ADD too eh? you should take pictures as you assemble it.

[Spikezone]

I don't think I'm ADD; just exciteable! LOL!

Here it is, and I can tell that it will be nearly impossible to get a good picture of this guitar. It's a lot deeper red than in the picture and the woodgrain is blacker and more defined. I'm not a pro photog and I don't know how to shoot it to do it justice. Anyway, here it is:

nice. What kind of guitar is it? I've never seen a body shape like that.

[Spikezone]

It's kind of my take on a Gibson Moderne. I think I might call it "Myderne" (UGH! LOL!)

Couple more pics:
This one shows the colour a bit better before I wet-sanded:

I can see you in this picture:D

[Spikezone]

Yep, and my toes are in the other one! HAHHAHHAH!

It looks really good. Never seen a Moderne before ant it looks like it would be a bit uncomfortable under the arm..

Somehow I didn't even notice that.:rockon:

[Spikezone]

A friend of mine thought he'd seen the shape before and went looking for it, and came up with this! LOL!

Thats pretty weird.. but funny.

[Spikezone]

Of course, he just photoshopped it, but I thought it was pretty humourous!

yeah it's fairly obvious that he photoshopped it.

[SinCron]

He didn't photoshop it. He just used MS Paint.

[Xanadu]

lol yeah, a terrible photoshop is still better than that.

Me neither...

That's very nice, I know what you mean about getting a good picture. I just finished a red guitar a couple of weeks ago and all the pics I tried to take can't do the depth of color justice. When you make your next guitar and I'm sure you will, get hold of me before you finish it. I think you might really be interested to know about coloring the wood with dye vs stain & colour coating. Just another option.
