Ibanez(s) Modifications

Hi all!

It's been really long since i last update my blog here. I guess many of you must be thinking that i am out of this business. It's ok, let the rumble begins again! I'm so sorry that i've not been updating due to previous few months of crazy performance schedule.

Ok here's some update. Apart from usual small repairs, i've this 2 Ibanez i'm going to feature.


Let's start with the JEM. This jem is modded by me from originally a RG. Looking at the picture above, you'll probably mistaken it as a normal sunburst on first glance. I don't blame you. It resembles much of a regular sunburst. Let's look closer.

Now this picture clearly shows you that it looks much like a faded texture that's due wear. I call this the wasp skin. Simply yet deadly like the wasp. If you think that you'll probably feel the roughness then you are wrong. This is going to be smooth and glossy later on.
and no, it's not a print on graphic or something. It's painted. Currently i've not seen anyone in the guitar making industry local/oversea that have did this type of finish. It's a method i discovered while doing trial and error paint experiments. Tell me what you think about this. :)

Along with chrome hardware, this little wasp is gonna sting you real bad in the eye!

Next we look at the all natural JPM. Remember i did a custom JPM neck not a long time ago? This is the body that will be matching with. Veneer top, Stained back, low gloss finish.. this is going to be a beauty! Isn't the body just gorgeous? I can't wait to finish both projects :)
