Shredder's Delight

[Loomi]

Finally getting around to posting this... Last year was my 25th anniversary of playing guitar so I wanted to commemorate that with a build.  Some quick math reveals that I got my start in 1989 so the goal was to build something with an 80s feel.  arty07:

Fireburst top finish with clean line option
Clear gloss back finish

That turned out awesome!  I have a Star on order.  You have given me hope!

That's very classy executed mr. Loomi  :icon_thumright: :headbang1:

That's an awesome axe, and the neckplate really ties a bow around it.


I hope you have stocked up on hairspray.  You're gonna need big hair to counterbalance the supernova of awesomeness that guitar brings.

Nice one, reminds me of when I played a Hamer Blitz in the eighties.

Ifn I were to ever do one, just flipping the thing over would fix the balance problems it inherited from the Explorer with an ugly knot hole that had to be excised.  Just sayin - you got a huge balance lever there going to waste.
