The color in the neck pocket tells me the guy really airbrushed it, as opposed to laminating a lazerprint of the famous London hospital montage - or wherever the Fair Warning scene came from.

This guys' really good with the colors.

I dig projects like this, where you make a silk purse from a sows' ear so-to-speak.. but the tuners look really incorrect installed with the holder tab upside down in back.

jhale667

06-07-2009, 03:14 AM

I'll give you that nit-pick - he probably re-used the same tuners off the neck...

GAR

06-07-2009, 04:41 PM

For sure! If I was gonna upside-down reuse these old Gotohs- which are my fave tuner key- I would have shifted the keys south another 1/4" - 3/8" for better left-hand access.

But I like it - it looks alright. I'm fine with headstock mods, and have a few myself.

Keep in mind, the original 57-59 Gibson Explorer's headstocks were modded and none of those gluejoints have been documented to fail so I think this mod job will last a lifetime.

He even took the time to groove the underside of the headstock to form sort of a rabbeted edge to piece a glueable edge. I think this guy's woodwork is as good as his paint because he considered how to create a strong bond beforehand.. some guys would have done differently.

If I were to do it, I would have used a 4" oscillating spindle sander to make a radius there instead, then cut a 4" semicircled edge and just epoxied that in. But this was just as good I think, a little labored but its fine.

letsrock

06-08-2009, 09:41 AM

Good to see nobody is bitching about how many times he wrapped the strings around the tuners.

I just emailed this to the guys in my KISS tribute. They love the guitar. Great Job.

I had an 80's Gibson Explorer that had the real bad pin stripes paint job and stuck as many KISS stickers on it as I could kind. People loved that guitar and as usual I wish I had that guitar back.

The detail on this guitar is excellent. From the flames to the boots. Excellent work!!!!!!

It wouldn't even bother me if he were doing the Frankie stripes. But I consider the fair warning cover to be actual art. As opposed to just some striped dogshit.

That's actually more of a trademark issue. So he should still be sued. Sue him! Sue him! Fire! Fire!

With the detail shown in Jeff's work, particularly the Fair Warning and Kiss guitar(s), figure he'll be pretty well known soon enough.

Actually, I correspond with a dude that runs a fairly-well known guitar blog from P-Mark's neck of the woods, and pretty sure even he's aware of him, he's got nearly a couple thousand MySpace friends and nearly as many on FB...so he's slowly catching on...globally..

Good for him if he is/starts doing contract work though, he deserves it.

GAR

All it takes is a few dozen stand-out graphics to stake his claim.

He's efficient, he'll get there.

VanHalenFan5150

12-05-2009, 09:08 AM

I'd consider buying a guitar from him-- he only resides in Georgia, it'd be worth the drive. He also makes the guitars himself, for the most part.

I totally dig his work, and how he shows the step-by-step process from visualization to creation. Here's another one:

On the drawing board...

Well, one day I do want him to do a Fair Warning for me...strictly to hang on the wall in the living room at my place and jam on at home, probably wouldn't gig w/it.

The one he's gonna do for me in a few months here is a bomber/no camo/no numbers solid metallic (now w/bullet-holes!) :D graphic. A little more subdued than these last couple I've posted (and very similar to this particular guitar's original incarnation), but I've already sent him the design for it, and I know he's going to knock it out of the park. :rockit:

You know how you claimed you "have no problem admitting" when you're "pwned, owned" etc, in the other thread, GARfail?

Go ahead and admit it happens every time you log on and post. :biggrin:

He says he went with the matte finish per the owner's wishes, to be more authentic to a real Panzer...apparently they weren't glossy..:biggrin:

Marilyn-Manson motif he just started..

And a crazy-ass Viking design...

And he's started on my Charvel bomber, only sealed the body so far, but we've decided on the base coat color, so only a matter of time now! :killer:

Lookin' killer already... :baaa:

Thanks. I had a long conversation with him about how much distress/rust to put on it, to better match the slightly road-worn 80s Charvel neck...it's not TOO hammered, but does show some wear, and I didn't want a battle-scarred neck on a pristine body, and he totally got what I was talking about...I'm stoked. :baaa:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/312080_10150379655207246_620012245_9869214_3171164 53_n.jpg

With this neck (and hardware)? Yes and yes. :cool:

That is now the official "before" shot. :lmao: Not sure how long the clear will have to cure (I know he's using a new type that cures in way less time than older ones), but I can't wait to get it back and re-assemble it. But he's a very cool guy to deal with, too. We're already talking about another slightly wackier project. :hee:

It dawned on me I never posted the finished product in this thread... I ended up going with a black pickup instead of the zebra...converted it to a Custom 8 and it sounds incredible.
