Hey,

A few months back, I purchased a used 7-String Epiphone from a local music store. The thing was covered in gold hardware, and I hated the way it looked. Here is the original guitar:

Anyway, I wanted all of the gold hardware gone. I also wanted to make it look a little meaner.

So here are the results. I also tossed a Dimarzio Blaze in the bridge position.

Some body shots......

We covered the entire headstock with the swordy thing that is part of our logo for my band.

So, did I make it uglier? :D

 

I used it for the first time at our CD Release party last month. It was a real hit with the crowd......everybody thought it was a bad-ass guitar.

Looks like a nice job. If I might, though, I'd suggest that the tuners and nut could be replaced with all-chrome and graphite respectively - that bone colour doesn't really go.

 

 

Agreed.....I think that's next on the list. I ran out of time before our CD Release......but now that I have a few weeks before our next tour, I may fix it up again.

 

Good call.....
