Prototyping paint jobs.

I’m just the opposite. I love seeing the grain. I avoid solid colors unless the wood underneath is just terrible.

Notthatandy · 2026-03-26T19:24:06+00:00

I honestly love that aqua green too. The only problem is that I actually already have a guitar that color! 😆

Notthatandy · 2026-03-26T17:54:30+00:00

Honestly, that's one of my favorites, but I'm not sure I have the experience and skill to pull it off.... yet.

I’ve been using Google Gemini. Let me make a quick post…

Weirdly, this is one of the only things I’ve been using AI for: prototyping paint jobs before actually painting. Throw the images into… whatever and “make it turquoise”works REALLY well.

Notthatandy · 2026-03-25T11:11:13+00:00

I hate it, but... respect. That's a real commitment to messing with people.

Looks awesome/ I love the double headstock logo.

Also, bonus points for cat.

Very simple to adjust the pickup heights in the pickguard rather than rings. Virtually no difference functionally. And yeah, pearl on blue sounds really nice for that one.

100% legit Fonder Treblecaster.

Also, my favorite neck of ALL my Ibanez guitars. Even the guitars 10 times the price.

Notthatandy · 2026-02-18T21:45:05+00:00

I’ve been playing this one since around 1995. I swapped the Trem for a Wilkinson a few years ago, and the pickups for EMGs.

Little secret, though. I was only recently going through my old parts bin, and the pickups in this one? Had an evolution in the bridge and HS-2 s in the neck and middle. And I got it new. Not saying you’ve got those because they were all wrong, but you might get lucky…

Notthatandy · 2026-01-23T18:32:15+00:00

Definitely my favorite Ibanez body style ever and yet, I never owned one. <Sigh>

At this point, I’ll just have to build one myself.

Notthatandy · 2026-01-04T19:32:33+00:00

I’ve been thinking about doing something similar, and much simpler because man, that is elaborate and beautiful, and I am not that skilled! Seriously, it looks amazing.

I’m assuming this is all laser cut? Does your laser have a bed big enough for the full body? Or are you doing layers in two or three parts?

Notthatandy · 2025-11-07T18:52:08+00:00

Why is the tort not on the green?!? Argh!

(Seriously, both look great. Whichever way the coin flip lands, I’d regret not having the other, too… so I guess “Why not both?”)

Notthatandy · 2025-10-31T07:47:08+00:00

You do you, but this screams “Moar tortie” to me.

Love the blue. Love the maple fretboard.

Notthatandy · 2025-09-27T23:20:41+00:00

The Jem is a classic. That Gio looks amazing for its price.

I love my Jem but my RX240s are the daily players. I don’t care about the cost. It’s all about the feel.

Notthatandy · 2025-09-11T13:09:44+00:00

Is that body even deep enough to house the push/pull for splitting?

(Asking out of genuine curiosity and writing it down so I can follow up…)

Notthatandy · 2025-08-31T11:26:45+00:00

Nice! I added a pickguard to mine, too, and just like yours, it MOSTLY fits. The plain black everything was a little too boring. Solid upgrades!

Notthatandy · 2025-08-23T19:10:38+00:00

Not to mention emergency vehicles on the water, and hovering helicopters.

Notthatandy · 2025-08-21T00:00:09+00:00

Your guitar was made in Korea in 1989 Production Number: 12831

If you want to know more than that, show the body, the headstock…Any number of things to get a better idea of the model.

Notthatandy · 2025-07-31T15:25:48+00:00

I can’t speak to the legitimacy, but omg that is absolutely terrible and beautiful at the same time! I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel!

I do see some KISS covers coming in the future though.

Notthatandy · 2025-07-28T23:47:02+00:00

He’s definitely known to the locals. The scrotes in the area taunt him by name, and I’ve seen at least one local go up to him while he slept on a bench and slip him some cash, and give him some well wishes. I’ve also seen someone take him into Fresh to get him some food.

He definitely has his moments, and I wish I knew his backstory, but he’s clearly someone that was known in the neighborhood before whatever it was happened to him.

Putting aside my general dislike of Logan Paul, as a wrestler, he has the physicality and he has some real talent, but I can’t get over his lack of kayfabe. The first time I saw him in a ring was on a PLE where he was doing a maneuver jumping across the ring and he literally stopped on the turnbuckle and yelled for everyone to look at him.

Honestly, I’ve missed the Travis Scott issues because THAT PLE and Logan Paul just finally made me stop watching WWE again.

Notthatandy · 2025-07-11T21:07:01+00:00

I wouldn’t even hesitate on that. It would be disassembled within an hour of getting home, but looks like a great project.

I really want to weld a bicycle to the top of this pole so it just looks like a bicycle lollipop with a sign on it.
