pmarlin Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Thanks guys, yeah I went a little wild with this one I spent about 2 weeks drawing up different designs trying to get the American flag concept without just being the American flag. I cant wait to finish it and see it with all the chrome hardware I have been picking up for it. I even got some chrome metal pickup rings for it. I am not a fan of black guitars although I have had a few and currently have black Jackson Kelly but it is going to get a makeover soon, probably not this extreme though......maybe it will.

HuntinDoug Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Very cool design! I love how the blue areas curve. Here's a mirror top Ibanez Iceman bass I did a while back. : another flag mirror top http://members.aol.com/huntindoug/flag2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarlin Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Thanks, I love your mirror tops. I checked them all out awhile back when I was searching for ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntinDoug Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Thanks...Actually, I havent done one in a while. This is the last one I did. I don't think I've posted any pics of it. Ironically, It's the same thing, an IC200B. This one is a "bengal bass". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarlin Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I have seen those on a site somewhere. I will do a search again and see where it was. Found it, it was here. http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...mp;#entry305583 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntinDoug Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Oooops. Old age I tell ya... If I dont write it down...it's gone. I had a PS10LTD a few years ago that I'm still kicking myself for getting rid of. It was pretty beat up...would have been perfect for a restore project. I've got one on paper to build in the next year or so. Thinking about possibly doing a floyded one w/gold hardware. Actually, I have a new Gibraltar II bridge, quick change tailpiece, and a set of the "M" style Ibanez tuners (all in gold) on order, so I could do two, one floyded & one TOM.

winger Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 You guys continue to amaze me with the sheer quality of your work. I can only hope for my projects to come out similarly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarlin Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 OK Its finished!! I polished it and put all the new hardware and electronics together. I have been playing it all week and I love it. I made the cavity covers out of diamond plate. Back The whole thing I put white Seymore Duncan Distortion Mayhems in it Front Close Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Holy carp! A+, that looks awesome. I ain't going to comment on the flag scheme (bit of an expatriate at heart), but my personal views aside, it looks KILLER! I got a few questions, though. -How does it balance, with both of the strap buttons being above the center line of the body? -Do the strings feel floppy at all, because of such a narrow break angle over the bridge, and the amount of string behind the bridge? I'm encountering a problem like that on my Explorer, but it seems to be alleviated a bit by putting thicker gauge strings on it. -I don't see any screws holding your cavity covers on, did you use magnets? -What's a Distortion Mayhem? Never heard of 'em before Again, top notch quality, I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarlin Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 It balances pretty good that way, thats why I moved them there because they were on the center line and it seemed to fall forward alot. The strings dont feel floppy at all they feel pretty good. I was worried about them breaking because of how far back I put them. The angle going into the body is really sharp but I have been playing it all week and no breaks yet. But then agin I havent broken a string on any guitar since I was probably 18.Long long ago. there are screws on the cavity covers they just match the covers. I was thinking abot magnets but never got around to ordering them. TheDistortion Mayhems are just a pair of SH-6 neck and bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarlin Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I just noticed in that picture one of the strings is off the saddle... dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
