(sorry i deleted the other thread, i decided to make it a poll instead)

I really like 3. And kudos to you for doing this! I am considering getting a load of Jackson parts and giving it to someone to assemble, since I havn't done anything with a guitar in years. That and the custom quote for my Jackson is nearly 3,800 bucks if i get it as is from the custom shop. If I assemble it though, I'd probably end up making the thing look like some sort of bad 50's sci fi serial weapon or something, and not on purpose.

But good luck to you on it! I look forward to seeing it how it comes along...

Bob, you total pussy get an original paint job, LOL!LOL!LOL!

Naw, seriosuly, Go for 5.

[Mammoth]

All other people on this board is gay, gay I tell you!(except for tut who is simply metrosexual):

NUMBER 2!!!!! This paint job rocks! Though it does remind me of an old BC Rich paint job! uke: Ah I really don't know do it the origional Rhoads style or not at all. I personally would put flames on it or a costum job of the fine czarnian LOBO on it or... boobs? Yeah that is it boob-vex! That would be like theme thing then right??

ive had this paint job idea for a while now. . .its the original RR paintjob, that he put on his very first jackson. and i never use a neck pickup. . . and i want 24 frets. . .so i gotta take it out anyway. even my epiphone, my first guitar has only one bridge pickup in it, its the only thing im comfortable with. . .

sorry guys, im not that artistic. I can do solid colors and small, uncomplicated designs. My GF did my yellow bevels, but im doing this one totally by myself.

 

[~metal_maiden~]

I voted for #3!


















































However, #5 is beautiful, as well.

 

[Serge...]

First of all, yes, put a neck pickup in there. I command you! Now, those paintjobs are alright. I voted for 2, but I still like the idea of a custom picture paintjob more. Hey Bob, if I get all the parts and pay you, would you build me a guitar? Just wondering.

Oh and Goth fiend, your guitar looks awesome.

 

[bobvex]

yeah dood, i can build you one, let me see how this one turns out first, then you can take a look and see whether or not you trust me.

as for a picture, i have no idea how to do that, all i really know how to do is paint simple colors and designs. ill get better with more projects i suppose.

its the original RR paintjob, that he put on his very first jackson.
