i am not a fan of the skulls but the swirl i think is really cool. It has a transparent ghosted effect. It is a little more unique then most other swirls, i would leave it.
btw - what does gmc stand for? general mutli-color? hopefully that's not a dumb question...probably is but I have no experience with swirls so I don't know much about them other than what I see on this site... I know I like the green swirls alot...that's LNG right ;o)
I don't mind it and the skulls actually blend quite well....though, considering it's a Vai model guitar, he's kinda not all about skulls and death. Still, who cares?
Interesting, when I read about the skulls I thought it was going to suck, but I actually like it in a weird way. You should keep it that way unless youre going for an actual GMC clone.
I don't know, incorporating a subtle graphic with a swirl is cooler to me than just *yet another* homebrew swirl. They look really cool and ghostly. Anyone ever play Mortal Kombat? Looks like Shang Tsung's green skulls he shot out of his hands.
Clearcoated the guitar today and the result turned out very good. Ok bad pictures from my cell phone but I'll update this thread as soon I have leveled the clearcoat an buffed it up.
