Members GuitarNoobie Posted August 5, 2009 Members Share Posted August 5, 2009 it's looking good to me... not sure how easy it's gonna get the purple your looking for, but the blue looks good... Didn't HC member nevermind tell you the dye wouldn't bother the binding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't HC member nevermind tell you the dye wouldn't bother the binding the dye doesnt absorb deep into the binding, so it scrapes off easily. this is how gibsons does it with both paint and stains. gibson aparently uses alcohol dyes though, not water.

Members Fusion1 Posted August 5, 2009 Members Share Posted August 5, 2009 Suggestion for headstock: Modded Gibson shape, more contemporary and a little more metal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newbuilder Posted August 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2009 That's pretty cool. Zemmy wanted horns, let's see if he likes it. Thanks man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newbuilder Posted August 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2009 Here is the "horns" headstock the way I think Zemmy wanted it. Also, the two other headstocks I drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zemmy Posted August 5, 2009 Members Share Posted August 5, 2009 the first one is almost identical to what i drew on mine the c shaped space between the horns isnt as deep and the horns point inward a little more, but thats exadtly what i was thinking:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fusion1 Posted August 5, 2009 Members Share Posted August 5, 2009 The first one looks like the head of the demon on the Dio cover art from Holy Diver... Cool for this project.

Members newbuilder Posted August 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 6, 2009 when you gonna sand that back and apply the next color?How about; It's purple right now.{censored} is all I have to say about this dye {censored}. I have drips and binding out the ass to fix.Oh well, what's a party with no cleanup, not a party.It's so {censored}ing purple right now, I don't know what else to say. I think China may be a touch on the purple side by now. I made about a gallon of purple {censored} that I could make 2 gallons out of.Think if Barney and Grimoss could reproduce, kind of purple.I might sand it again and go lighter next time to fill some spots, it's kinda dark right now. I am not sure what the dry color is, but it's pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
