I Shouldnt have looked!

Well just looked at places that would do custom artwork on guitars.
And i found one, here in  england i found one, which prices didnt look too shabby.
from £145 pounds roughly  $220.
As im thinking if i do another warmoth build in the future ill go a bit mad and at the moment i have three ideas.
Well basically im thinking of it replacing my Epiphone thunderbird, a great one to learn to play on, but heavy as hell, weight wise, sound wise i love that its heavy as hell  :toothy12:
So i would most likely go with a warmoth thunderbird body with soap bars, possibly a mm, depends what my new one sounds like.
Well anyways the designs i was thinking was.
1. Anime of some sort (Tasteful Anime that is)
2. Something Gothic, or maybe Anime gothic (Best of Both Worlds  :laughing7
3. A design with cliff burton on it, a stage in the background, know the picture i would probably use (However this one screams Fanboy maybes?)
Just thought id give you lot the heads up
However i might go with a LP body, but if its going to be a replacement for my epiphone id rather keep it in the thunderbird style.

URL ?
It's not SIMS is it ? I've got a feeling I've seen some bad reviews of them on here before.

 

[JimBeed]

Ah no its not SIMS its DM Guitars
http://www.dm-guitars.co.uk/

 

[JimBeed]

Yeah i wouldnt go with sims i remember some bad reviews before. And as all you guys have said has been right before, im certain it would be with them too.
DM Guitars looks alot more customer orientated than Sims just from the website
like we want to do a good job for you, not give us your money and we'll be pompus bums to you after.
Though a friend knows somebody really good at painting that says he would be fine doing work for a bottle of jack daniels and buying the required paint for him haha
Unless any of you guys are good at painting custom work and from uk
No offence to the US Guys, just hate to think of the postage *Shudders*

There are two Sims, which is where the mixup happens.

http://simscustom.com/ is in the UK and a very highly regarded shop.

http://www.simscustomshop.com/ is in the US and steals things.

Both paint guitars.

Ah ok, well this is just an idea i had but thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding  :toothy10:
Just wondering which design to go for if i do do this in the future, just be fun to have a graphics bass, either music man or epiphone replacement, thunderbird is a large canvas so to speak

A Hunter D Gothic Bass would kick ass

Does look pretty good, though tbh i think if i do this ill go with un named anime or gothic anime or gothic drawings,
done by myself or a friend, cause thinking about it i dont want something thats screaming advertising a bit maybe? not sure,
think id put a neck plate on it in tribute to cliff burton though, just as a little extra to it, maybe maybe not, not sure.
Well recently met someone very good at anime drawings so if i do this im going to ask for her help with it, as i think she could come up with amazing artwork for the painter of it to use  :cool01:

sounds cool, I have put custom artwork on all of my guitar builds. Im not much of a figure/cartoon artist tho so I haven't delved into that area much.
