My guitar:


Removing the "Frankestein" artwork first...


And now take the paintbrush !!!

Wicked

I'm gonna paint some gothic drawings wait a minute, I add some draws now

Ah, that looks better

Really cool, can't wait to see it finished

thanks kyldeee, I think I need too much hour till it will be finished, but now I'm happy with it and I think it will be a cool design

This looks pretty good Juan, very interesting to see your JEM customized man

Thanks Ivan, I wish all be ok !!!!

Ah, I deleted the IBANEZ logo and I'm gonna put mine I'm crazy, I know

sweet! lookin awesome already, cant wait for finish product haha. what kinda paint are you usin btw?

Great man, I love doing crazy stuff like this, I was actually thinking about making a frankenstrat, yours looked cool

Great job man,you should start a business .

awesome, painting, looks very unique

it would be a great idea !!!!

After seeing that inlays grinded from scalloping, nothing suprises me

Keep doing and post pics, it looks great, and I love customized guitars!

yeah, I like to customize my guitars, I had 2 frankestain Ibanez but this design will be too much better !!!! (and I'll spend too much time !!! )



yeah, I forgot another thing I replaced the last inlay. There wear a "Steve Vai" inlay so I put over another with my simbol

great work on your scalloping dude and cant wait to see it finised

I like the Batman symbol.

"Uh sir, do you have the permission and consent of DC Comics for that Batman Logo? Sir, step away from the guitar, you are under arrest for the use of the Batman Logo without permission."


Good Job on the painting mate.

Cool, can't wait to see it finished.

Look great, you've got some gut's to pull a nice ax like that apart...
I applaud you..

geek alert here!

My eyes might be cheating me, or I might be one of the greatest geeks on this site. But is that a Citadel Skull White bottle on that picture? :S Are you a fellow Warhammer player? If so I'm totally geeking out.

ahem...

Incredible artwork, looking forward to seeing more

Looks great Juan!
I like the scallop as well

yeah, is Citadel Skull white !!! hahaha, the other white was empty and this one works good

But sorry I was a Warhammer 40,000 player (and also a Blood Bowl, my favourite one )

i have never played warhammer is it good

Looking good Juan, you must be skilled in painting!, keep posting pictures

aha.. juan design and signature.

Well, actually I'm skilled in copying, I search lot of pictures in the Internet and I make my arrangements, I'm not inventing all this stuff just copying it. Anyway I spend lot of years painting miniatures and I have a good technique there and I'm better at painting than at drawing

Another pic:



Any ideas ??

hehe, thanks Spreedmaster !!!!! his drawing for my album now painted in my guitar (love it guy, you did an amazing work !!!)

This is cool!! I just think it's kinda weird to remove all the Jem things and add your M logos But your guitar, so not my business

You are a fine airbrusher, or is it pure painting?

You are a fine airbrusher, or is it pure painting?

mmm I'm sorry but I don't understand exactly the meaning of this sentence... anyway I tell you I paint it with a small brush... well actually with lot of small brushes

Looks great, you're a skilled painter!

Hey Juan, these drawings look very good man. Are you planning to cover the whole guitar with a lot of these drawings? Looks great for now man, keep going

Thanks MickeM I was a bit afraid because I didn't know if if could remember all what I learnt in the painting school !!



yeah, that the idea !!! Lot of works as you can see !!!


Another pic:

I didin't know how to say it right But you did anwser the question. I just wondered how you painted it, with normal brushes (as you did) or with an airbrush (check it on youtube, very cool )

Gonna do the front side as well?

Oh, looks great !!! we call it "aerógrafo" hehe, but I don't know how to use it :rollingeyes:

Gonna do the front side as well?

FOR SURE !!!!! hehe, I need to find a good picture to paint it there !!!

with surfing with the alien It looks not too good, sorry, too difficult for me

Maybe you could paint Iron Maiden's Eddie somewhere? The one on Piece of Mind would look awesome!

That is one of my favorite cds!!

hehe, yeah, I'm a bid Maiden fan so I'll do, but it will be in the front of my guitar-body
I think the piece of mind would be great... or live after death, killers or number of the beast... there are too many options !!

How about Eddie from the Trooper...except with the Spanish flag!

very cool Juan !!!


I think i will stick to me 2 F holes for now though

yes, Fs would be great I would and them !!! haha, well I think it wouldn't look good... I should try it before



haha, that would be another possibility... but not with the Spanish flag, maybe with a Skull and 2 bones

It looks better every time !!!!





Now it's turn to record my next lesson

One word - awesome!


I can already see that this guitar is gonna be something pretty and unique

I have enjoyed your progress so far, I really look forward to the final touches.

Awesome job, awesome project Juan

Wow it looks really interesting !! Great project , can't wait to see the finished product!

thanks guys, is great to be able to share this project with all of you !!! It really helps me to keep my effort and be constant !!

That's wild, great job! Can't wait to see the finished design.

very cool and unique. i like it!

I have to admit I was a bit skeptacle when I opened this thread.....I mean hand-painting a JEM seems pretty risky to me.

But Juan seriously that looks awsome!!! I would actually pay to have one of my guitar's styled like that!!!

That looks awesome
