Design On A Dimebag V. The Horror Episode

[veinbuster]

I did sparkles already though. And there isn't anything scary about sparkles!!

Maybe you’re using the wrong sparkles.

Or maybe Mrs has been chanting sparkles enough during the ruby quest that it’s stuck in my brain. How about you just sparkle the tattoo?

You know what goes good with gold, diamonds. Maybe some Rhinestones? Whatchya think about that, cowboy?

 

[xjbebop]

pinstripes?? ... been done...

I already did that.

pinstripes?? ... been done...

It wouldn't be as dope as yours anyway. Not that I'm trying to do anything that hasn't been done yet, just not that I've done yet.

We need pics of the previous builds to catch some of us up to date!!

I'll try and grab some, unfortunately the whole photobucket debacle kinda sh!t the bed on all those old threads.

Done leather trim yet?

Oooo...urban cowboy motif? There’s an idea.

Where’s the thumbs-down button for the drink selection. No self respecting Sergio would forego adding cheap bubbly to the drink menu. I’m calling zombie BS.

In fear of giving away my super-secret PS ideas...pirate theme. But you have to drink like a pirate and talk like a pirate through the rest of the thread, if you go this way.

There's no cheap bubbly on the menu. The vanilla vodka is always on sale though... On the plus side, the orange juice prevents scurvy.

Have to dress like a pirate, too.

That's my flamenco shirt.

 

[rugerpc]

...but do you have a flamingo shirt?

 

[sergiodeblanc]

...but do you have a flamingo shirt?

I used to have a bunch of them, a ton of Acapulco/Hawaiian shirts. I had to donate them after I got fat and middle-aged as they were no longer ironic hipster wear... and became a straight-up representation of where I was at in life.

 

[dmatthews]

Auric... is that you?

These are always my favorite makeover threads.
Let 'er rip Serge!!!

Clear coated:

There are some imperfections that I'll need to address, but all in all it looks pretty good without any sanding or buffing. If you look real close you can see some bleed on the binding around the neck pocket from my touchups... nothing that a little fun with a razor blade won't take care of though. Speaking of which, I felt as though enough time had passed that I could cut the maskidgtape plugs for the bridge posts.

While we're on the subject of bridges, my guitarfather (like a godfather but way better) sent me a present for this beastie:

So far so good. The $4 can of gold spray paint reacts remarkably similar to light like a real gold top would. Sometimes it's bronze-y, sometimes it's pale, sometimes it just looks tan, and other times it's gold f@ckin' GOLD! It reminds me of my old Norlin era GT Deluxe I used to sport. Hell, even the sh!tty paint job is spot on! There's usually a little bit (no sh!t) of Gibson going on with the Bernie's, but this one I decided needed a little more to cop that kinda Joe Bonamassa (is that how you spell it? who cares?) Gold Top-Black Back vibe. The Berniemassa?

Love it

Black pickup covers or etched like the BK ray guns?

Enjoying the thread, bet it will sound monster through that new DG amp

Lookin' good, bro-hammer!

Lookin' good, bro-hammer!

Thanks! I polished it up tonight, all that's left is to put it together. Hopefully I'll surprise you guys with it tomorrow if I get some time tonight.
