Members HottKarl Posted June 29, 2011 Members Share Posted June 29, 2011 So I bought this awhile back knowing that I would probably repaint it and add some decent pickup(s) to it. Washburn WG587 (paid $125 I think). Before: After. Repainted it....flat black with a flat clear finish. Added a Bareknuckle Warpig in the bridge. Sounds real beefy. The Warpig is crazy hot....still working on my settings with D60 but like it so far. I had planned on doing a swirl with a forumite but decided against it this time.....I will do one eventually though. But anyways, there you go.

Members gsxrbusa Posted June 29, 2011 Members Share Posted June 29, 2011 I like the bowling ball look. I like the new flat black look better. Definitely more metal. Looks great m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HottKarl Posted June 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 The silver sparkle was not my thing at all. I've always wanted to do something in flat black for a long time.....thank you ESP. This is all rattle can....probably 7 coats of black, followed by about 8 coats of spray clear with wet sanding. This thing is baby's ass smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MesaMonster Posted June 30, 2011 Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 I like both. Not crazy with the flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eudaimonia02912 Posted June 30, 2011 Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 I like the new version, except the flag. Maybe if it were one of the Scandinavian flags, it would work. Otherwise, it seems like the black color screams "Metal!" but the American flag screams "Country!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ovid9 Posted June 30, 2011 Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 I think it looks good! I wouldn't have gone for a flag sticker, but that's totally personal preference. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HottKarl Posted June 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 Yeah, the american flag seems to be a turnoff for some.....I guess our flag has certain connotations for certain people, which I get. Definitely not intending to give a 'country' vibe, I cannot stand 99.9% of country music. I just like the color pop and I have the flag on a lot of stuff.....most important of which is my work uniform (turnout coat and helmet.) I have nothing but positive intentions with adding the flag. FWIW, the other guitar I repainted a couple years ago has the flag in the same spot...so I guess that makes it my thing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
