It seems like forever sinse I started this project but its finally finnished and it looks and sounds great! laugh.gif
here are some pictures..







For those who didn't see my earlier posts on this.. It used to be a Ibanez rg 321 mh that I bought used awhile back, it was full of dings and such and a plain black paintjob. So I gave it a new paintjob(which took alittle over a month) and bought some seymour duncan mayhem pickups for it. when I had it put together in the shop I had the action lowered. Now I just wish I had a better amp to use with it..

Congrats! May I ask why you didn't get a singlecoil in the middle though? smile.gif

Sweet guitar! I'd like to make a LP shaped guitar with a ibanez/fender type bridge sometime.... I think that would combine ibanez playability with LP looks pretty sweet.

IMO no point in getting a massive wood guitar, when you lose alot of sustain to your floating tremolo. smile.gif

Ohh, I didn't mean to get a tremolo, I meant with the fixed bridge type.

I still think it'll lose alot of sustain without a hardtail, and then the large body is somewhat useless. smile.gif

well honestly im not a big fan of the singlecoil in the middle it seems to get in the way for some reason.. and I probly would have messed something up while cutting into it, I didnt want to do anything to complicated seeing that this is my only electric guitar.

Ohh, you made it yourself? Good job!
Did you get a pull knob for volume though, so you can turn 'em into S.coils?

It's an easy solder, I would recommend it for versatility.
Though, again, guitar looks great man!

That's the exact reason I don't like the single coil in the middle. It gets in the way so much. Only way I'll have a single coil is if there is a single coil in the neck also so I have room for my technique.

You did a great job.

It's just a matter of practise. you'll learn to get around it very quick.
But honestly, this is but a tiny hinderance from great versatility.
